There seems to be an imbalance in our galaxy. Astronomers have discovered a strange surplus of gas in the Milky Way galaxy. Using 10 years of data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the team of astronomers…
The center of the Milky Way exploded 3.5 million years ago —and may explode again very soon. At the center of our galaxy is a supermassive black hole which, apparently, likes to blow bubbles. Ballooning…
A study of the small galaxies swallowed by our nearest large galactic neighbor has revealed something of how galaxies grow. In the process, it has hinted at something that, if true, would change the way…
Origami is a part of all scholastic arts and craft curriculum. The art that is all about the arrangement of pieces of paper in different shapes to model decorative figures with various folding techniques is…
Whenever someone strikes up a conversation with me about the universe, I get animated. No surprise there: I’ve made a living writing about astronomy, physics, geology, spaceflight, and related areas of science for nearly a decade, and…
The last time a person visited the moon was in December 1972, during NASA’s Apollo 17 mission. Over the decades, NASA has planned to send people back to the moon but has yet to succeed. The Trump…
The violent black hole was spotted by NASA’s planet-hunting TESS space probe and confirmed by ground-based observatories. Astronomers were alerted to the event when a star monitored by TESS unexpectedly grew brighter. The event, known…
Astronomers have found compelling evidence for the existence of ‘liquid’ water on a Super-Earth Exoplanet, according to Space Telescope. The K2-18B, with eight times the mass of Earth, orbits a red dwarf star, 111 light years…
A large-scale 3D map of the Milky Way shows its warped shape with a new level of detail and accuracy. Researchers measured the distances between our sun and 2,400 stars to map their three-dimensional coordinates across the Milky Way. Scientists still…
It’s no secret that Ariana Grande is a fan of space and, by extension, the folks over at NASA. And it turns out that the love is reciprocal, seeing as how a group of interns at NASA’s Johnson Space Center…
Using data from NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler telescope, scientists have estimated that one in every four sun-sized stars has an Earth-like planet orbiting it. That translates to about 10 billion planets in our galaxy that could hold liquid water – which could make them…
SpaceX is banking on its commercial space taxi, Crew Dragon to fly seven astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) in an orbital mission to and from Earth. So far, the American aerospace company has…
DESIGNS for the ‘first space hotel’ have been revealed and it’s as weird and futuristic as you would expect. The orbiting space station is designed to accommodate 400 guests and has facilities that you find…
