A stunning solar eruption captured on video on the night of May 12-13 has revealed a 600,000-mile-long filament blasting away from the sun’s northern hemisphere. The outburst occurred around 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT) and spanned a distance more than twice that between Earth and the moon. A massive solar filament suspended above the sun’s … Read more
Astronomers might have discovered a dark galaxy, primarily made up of dark matter, in the local universe. Dark galaxies are theoretical starless systems that could provide valuable insight for galaxy formation models. The candidate was in a massive, rapidly moving gas cloud, first discovered in the 1960s. At high resolution, the methyl formate cloud appeared to … Read more
It is observed that about half of the matter cannot be occupied just by stars and galaxies. Scientists say that hydrogen gas clouds could unveil it. Missing matter of the universe may have finally been detected. It is reported by the astronomers that the stuff revealed and not dark matter accounts for only 15 percent … Read more
Astronomers claim to have discovered the strongest signs yet of possible life on a planet 700 trillion miles away from Earth. The scientists from the University of Cambridge used a mid-infrared camera from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe exoplanet K2-18b, a planet that is not in our solar system and is eight … Read more
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed the complex structure of NGC 1514, a planetary nebula developing over at least 4,000 years. Only seen in infrared light, the nebula’s rings now resemble “fuzzy” clusters set in twisted patterns. A network of sharper holes near the centre stars indicates where the faster materials are punched … Read more
James Webb Space Telescope has recently captured a detailed image of an unusual cosmic occurrence. The latest images released by European Space Agency shows a glowing ring in the depths of space. It also reveals an effect that is caused by a massive galaxy bending light from another galaxy hidden behind it. The phenomenon has … Read more
T Corona Borealis is a binary star system in the Northern Crown constellation which is being monitored closely by astronomers worldwide for signs of a rare stellar eruption. The system consists of a white dwarf and a red giant orbiting each other with the white dwarf pulling material from its companion. The gradual accumulation of … Read more
Traces of a rare radioactive element believed to originate from a violent cosmic explosion have been discovered in oceanic deposits. Researchers examining deep-sea sediments have identified a unique isotope of plutonium, suggesting remnants of a kilonova—a powerful event triggered by the collision of neutron stars—may have reached Earth approximately 10 million years ago. Scientists are … Read more
A striking nebula shaped by the dynamic interactions of two young stars has been observed in unprecedented detail by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The structure, identified as Lynds 483 (LBN 483), is located approximately 650 light-years away. The nebula’s intricate shape is a result of powerful outflows generated by the formation of a … Read more
The upcoming vernal equinox is set to take place on March 20. 2025, marking the transition into spring in the Northern Hemisphere while the Southern Hemisphere moves into autumn. This astronomical event occurs twice a year when day and night are nearly equal in length across the globe. The phenomenon is attributed to Earth’s axial … Read more
