Astronomers unveil first direct image of young exoplanet just 63 light-years away
An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. The star […]

Astronomers may have discovered multiple underground lakes on Mars
Mars may have multiple lakes hidden beneath ice, suggests a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. The discovery comes as a 2018 study previously found evidence of a large saltwater lake beneath the Martian south pole, a finding met with both excitement and skepticism. Since this assertion, an international team of researchers is supporting the existence of […]

Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) from a supermassive black hole push stars and galaxies around
Surrounding the center of many galaxies is a near-empty darkness that stands in direct contrast to brightly lit space around it. A recent study hints that this near-empty space is the result of “UFOs,” just not the kind you may be thinking of. According to a paper published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, the near-dark areas […]

The Earth may be traveling through the debris of an ancient supernova explosion
The Earth is flying through a cloud of radioactive debris left behind by an ancient supernova explosion, according to a new report by scientists looking at our oceans. A team from the Australian National University (ANU) has made this conclusion after studying radioactive dust found at the bottom of our oceans. While this dust is in small enough […]

Breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial life as scientists discovered stars could host as many as 7 habitable planets
A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This factor could […]

Mysterious cloud over volcano Arsia Mons in Mars reappears 2 years after previous sighting
The spacecraft Mars Express from the European Space Agency (ESA) captured images on July 17 and 19 that show a mysterious cloud about 1,110 miles long hovering over the volcano Arsia Mons in Mars. Scientists said that it previously appeared in the same spot in 2018, as well as at least three more occasions before. The […]

Space speeding: Astronomers are baffled by 39 ancient galaxies the Hubble could not see
Astronomers have found an additional 39 ancient and massive galaxies lurking in secluded corners of the universe. The galaxies were found hiding around 11.5 billion light-years away, in a part of the universe where the light is so old that it’s invisible to many telescopes. The Hubble Space Telescope is built to see in ultraviolet, visible and […]

Supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy emits mysterious burst of radiation, growing brighter
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have recorded a mysterious and unprecedented flash of light coming from the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. Known to scientists as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is relatively quiet. For the most part, Sgr A*’s activity […]

Data from NASA Juno probe reveals Jupiter absorbed a protoplanet 10 times Earth’s mass, shattering the gas giant’s core 4.5 billion years ago
Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, may have once collided with another planet in the distant past. According to a recent study, published in Nature by scientists from Rice University and Sun Yat-sen University, this may explain the gas giant’s unique core. Most of Jupiter’s mass is comprised of hydrogen and helium. What makes Jupiter unique, compared with the […]

Global magnetic anomaly hit the Earth out of nowhere during deep solar minimum
On June 23, astronomers detected an unusual wave of magnetism hitting the Earth. What makes this event unusual is that this is occurring during the deepest solar minimum in a century, and these kinds of geomagnetic activity should not be happening. The Sun is usually filled with activity. Using special, filtered telescopes, astronomers can see that the Sun is filled […]
