During Pluto’s flyby, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has captured amazing images of Pluto’s Al-Idrisi mountains and Sputnik Planum’s plane. The images were taken from a distance of 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) and released on...
This time-lapse video consists of various images that portray different astronomical objects such as Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, the Moon eclipse, meteor shower, and the Milky Way. All images are taken by an award-winning...
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has captured Enceladus, Saturn’s most intriguing moon in its crescent phase on July 29th, 2015. The moon represents the most inspiring aspect for astrobiologists because of its subsurface ocean. This beautiful...
By using the LCOGT network of telescopes, astronomers have discovered a Neptune-sized exoplanet, which atmosphere has a blue hue. The planet is only 100 light-years distant from the Earth and orbits around a red...
Scientists from the University of Alberta (Canada) and the Max Planck Institute (Germany) made a computer model of Jupiter’s climate that explains its wild weather patterns. It also explains the unusual rotation of Jupiter’s...
This year, the Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak on December 13th and 14th, and stargazers can observe up to 120 meteors per hour. The shower will be better seen in the Northern...
By using the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have discovered the hottest white dwarf in the edge of the Milky Way. The bright star is 42 times hotter than the Sun and has a temperature...
This video represents a selection of images that portray Aurora Borealis above Finland, Alaska, and other countries. These beautiful pictures of Northern Lights show their dance in all their delicacy.
In the following video, we can find out many astonishing facts about the gravity, which still puzzles the scientists. How does gravity influence time? Or, how it affects the height of mountains on our...
By using the ESO’s Very Large Telescope, scientists have captured a hypergiant star known as VY Canis Majoris. Canis Majoris is one of the biggest stars in the Milky Way, which mass is 40...
In November 2014, scientists detected a supernova by using gravitational lensing effect that enables them to see a so-called Einstein Cross, produced by the supernova’s light. They hope that will be able to spot...
During December, constellations Perseus and Cassiopeia will be visible in the night sky, and their brightest stars will be easy to observe. As the morning star, we can see Jupiter rising just before the...
This time-lapse video shows beautiful Aurora Borealis while dancing in the Iceland’s night sky. All images are captured in 4K.
This new NASA/ESA Hubble image shows an extremely distant galaxy that is known as LEDA 3087775. The galaxy represents the part of Hercules cluster and is about 500 million light-years away from our planet.
By using the VISTA telescope, astronomers have revealed 574 massive galaxies that existed in the early Universe. The research of the earliest galaxies led them to the discovery of the precise time when they...
This time-lapse video consists of images of the Milky Way and Draconid Meteor Shower that happened on October 10th, 2015. The pictures were captured by Jeremy Evans, an astrophotographer, from Inyo National Forrest, John...
By using the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope, scientists have detected a red dwarf with one-tenth of the mass of our Sun that possesses an unusually powerful magnetic field. The strange...
This video invites us to enjoy the journey through the Orion Nebula, a nebula that is about 1,350 light-years away from the Earth. The Orion Nebula is known as Messier 42 or M42 and...
