Scientists at Columbia University have published a study about black hole collision in the journal Nature. They found out that the two black holes that are placed in the Virgo constellation are only one...
This video represents a simulated flyover of the Pluto’s most famous moon, Charon. As NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft continues to send new images of Pluto and its moons, we begin to put together the...
It seems that no one has expected to find the presence of water, neither of a blue sky, on any object in a darkness of the Kuiper belt area. However, the latest images of...
New data from the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Clay-Magellan Telescope reveal more details on Phoenix Cluster, which puzzles scientists for a long time. These new observations give them an opportunity...
An astrophotographer Meg McDonald captured shining Aurora Borealis while dancing above Mount Baker in Washington. These stunning pictures were taken on October 3rd, 2015.
By using the ESA’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have found out mysterious structures in the star AU Micropoli that are unlike any feature they have observed do far. These strange features they...
The exoplanet GJ 436b, which resembles Neptune, lies 33 light-years away from our planet. Scientists called the planet “warm Neptune” for its ability to evaporate a huge amount of hydrogen that surrounds the planet...
Before July 2015, all information we get from Pluto were collected by Hubble Space Telescope. Until recently, we were not able to peek into the intriguing world of ice and dark, the mysterious world...
In this video, Kaylee Yuhas from DNews explains how our planet influences the Moon and the orientation of the faults on its surface. Namely, scientists have revealed that the Earth’s gravitational pull reshapes and...
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured spectacular new images of one part supernova remnant, called Veil Nebula. This nebula is the part of the largest nebula – Cygnus Loop or the Swan. It had...
Meg McDonald, an astrophotographer, took these beautiful images of the Aurora Borealis on September 9th, 2015. The pictures are made while Northern Lights were dancing in the night sky above Seattle.
The following video gives us guidance on how and where to look for most visible constellations, planets and events in the October night sky. The month begins with the planet Saturn, as the evening...
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has taken the image of Tartarus Dorsa, Pluto’s mountain, which surface compares with dragon scales or snakeskin. This image reveals 330 miles or 530 kilometers of the snakeskin surface.
Even though scientists have discovered frozen water on the Martian poles long ago, they have revealed intriguing news: the existence of the flowing water on our closest neighborhood planet, Mars. They have explored the...
Scientists from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and the University of Campinas have made precise measurements of particle mass and electric charge that confirm the existence of a fundamental symmetry in nature.
Scientists have previously thought that dark matter makes the stars so dense that they eventually burst into black holes. However, the recent research makes scientists think that dark matter inside stars make their core...
Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) on the Gemini South telescope in Chile has captured images of a distant star β Pictoris (Beta Pictoris) and its orbiting gas giant planet. The star is located in the...
