NASA astronomers have discovered an Earth-like planet, Kepler 452-b, in the constellation Cygnus that is 1,400 light-years away from our planet. Kepler 452-b is located in the habitable zone, which means that the temperature...
This video represents a simulation of NASA’s New Horizons’ flyover of Pluto’s terrain that reveals its icy mountains and frozen plains. We can see Pluto’s Norgay Montes (Norgay Mountains) and Sputnik Planum (Sputnik Plain)....
After years of hunting for an Earth-like planet outside of our Solar System, astronomers have discovered a Jupiter’s twin planet, orbiting around a Sun-like star, HIP 11915. This newly discovered planet has similar mass...
Mars, our second closest neighbor after Venus, has a specific gravity and unique atmosphere. The Red Planet’s climate is specific by the storms of red dust. Scientists explain that energy from the Sun creates...
This video tries to answer many questions we still have about planet Venus, our closest neighbor. The video contains all interesting facts we now know about Venus such as orbit, its surface, temperature, atmosphere,...
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has captured new images of the dwarf planet, Pluto. The images have shown a few equal dark spots along the dwarf planet’s equator. Every spot spreads around about 300 miles...
Tonight, we can observe the closest conjunction of Venus and Jupiter since May 17th, 2000. On June 30th, they will make the tightest conjunction, which can resemble a double star in the night sky....
Beta Pictoris is one of the planets with a debris disk, full of ice and rocks of various shapes and sizes, 63 light-years away from the Earth. Erika Nesvold and Marc Kuchner, astrophysicists, found...
Researchers have explored scientific data and detected deposits of glass on Mars that have been formed by meteorite impacts. These deposits, called ‘impact glass’, can carry the signs of ancient life on the Red...
This video presents a list of 10 strangest planets in the cosmos. The list begins with the planet J1407-B, which is known as the planet with greatest rings in our Universe. Its two rings...
Saturn’s Earth-like moon, Titan, is known for its numerous lakes and seas, detected by NASA/ESA’s Cassini spacecraft. They are filled with liquid methane and ethane, and some of them fill and vapor by the...
According to recent evidence, scientists believe that planet Venus has volcanoes that are still active. They have discovered four hotspots, where temperatures reach more than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
A look at missions to Jupiter and it’s moon Europa. Could a liquid water ocean beneath the surface of Europa have the ingredients to support life? Here’s how NASA’s mission to Europa would find...
NASA engineer Kobie Boykins reveals what the Mars robots are telling us about the existence of life on the red planet. The Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity have sent back a tremendous amount...
During the month, we can observe two shiny planets, Venus and Jupiter, in their casual walk toward each other. They will be visible in the early evenings and will be easier to spot after...
In 2009, NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope found an outer Saturn’s ring, but scientists lacked data to prove it. Recently, scientists have discovered new data that confirm its existence and even reveal that the ring...
At the beginning of the month, we can see Saturn very close to the Moon in the early evening. Pluto will also come close to the Moon, but it is still invisible. At the...
A new study reveals that Mars also has aurora as our planet, which is in the visible range. The southern lights on Mars become brighter and more vivid when the intensity of solar eruptions...
