Using data from the IRIS mission, scientists have detected unusual rain on the Sun’s surface. Namely, they explain that solar flares raise material and energy as plasma rain, falling on the Sun in great...
Using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, scientists found strong magnetic field inside 80 percent of stars. This finding can help scientists better understand how stars form and how it affects their further evolution.
This video contains images that portray the beauty of the Milky Way while rising above Mount Baker and Mount Rainier, Washington. The images are captured by an astrophotographer, Meg McDonald.
NASA’s Kepler Telescope has detected more than 4,000 exoplanets and more than 200 of them in the so-called habitable zone. From that group, scientists have identified 20 planets that are potentially the most habitable.
Using the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii and the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES), scientists found out that the most active Jupiter’s moon, Io, has an atmosphere that is in a constant state...
This time-lapse video shows the Perseid meteor shower in its highest activity and an amazing view of the Milky Way from Yosemite National Park. The video is captured by an astrophotographer, Jeremy Evans, last...
The Helix Nebula was once a star, just like our Sun. Now, it represents the closest nebula, full of galactic gas and dust, with a white dwarf in its center. The nebula is located...
This time-lapse video consists of photos of the Milky Way taken from Phelps Mountain Road, Wyoming. The images were captured by an astrophotographer, Tim Doolin.
After sunset, Jupiter will appear as the evening star in the western sky. At the same time, Mars, Saturn, and Antares will be visible in the southwestern sky and will be closer to each...
This video shows part four of the best 100 images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 4K resolution. All images are presented with essential explanation and interesting facts.
Using ESO’s Very Large Array (VLA) and other space telescopes, astronomers found a new binary star system that pulses every 2 minutes. The system consists of the white dwarf that is 200,000 times the...
Using data from other telescopes such as NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) space telescope, scientists find a rare, bizarre Frankenstein galaxy that is formed by the parts of other neighboring galaxies. The monster galaxy...
Scientists are baffled by missing craters on Ceres after they got data from NASA’s Dawn mission. According to them, it might be that icy volcanoes can be responsible for this phenomenon.
This time-lapse video consists of images taken from McInnis National Preservation Area, Colorado, on June, 24th, this year. The video is created by an astrophotographer Elii Skeans.
The Delta Aquarid meteor shower will reach its peak on July 28th and 29th. It will be visible in the Southern Hemisphere, but the shower might be observed in the Northern Hemisphere as well.
Using data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, scientists found the X-shaped structure that lies at the center of the Milky Way. They published a study in the Astronomical Journal that explains...
The Hubble Frontier Fields program uses the galaxy cluster Abell S1063 as a cosmic lens to collect more data about deep space objects. Because of its mass, the gravitational pull of Abell S1063 forms...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists conduct a research of the atmosphere of three potentially habitable exoplanets in a nearby planetary system. They have revealed that the atmosphere of two planets known as TRAPPIST-1b...
