‘Oumuamua asteroid may really be alien technology; it accelerates under its own power
In 2017, astronomers discovered a strange object that entered and then left the solar system. They called it ‘Oumuamua, and it is the first-ever interstellar object identified by scientists. The leading theory for what ‘Oumuaua is suggests that it’s a hydrogen comet. But there are key problems to this theory. For one, a hydrogen comet would have fallen […]

The Sun once had a companion star, study suggests
The Sun was likely paired with another star, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. This star has the same mass as the Sun and was born out of the same cloud of dust. It was separated from the Sun after being pulled by passing stars and could be anywhere in the Milky Way. Researchers from Harvard University explained […]

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study
A mysterious space object that came from outside the solar system may be alien technology. This is because the other candidate theory is faulty, said astrophysicists from Harvard University and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made up of […]

Space-time ripples could help scientists uncover exoplanets from other galaxies
Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. These waves […]

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 […]

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 […]

Study suggests NASA satellite can be used to observe supernovas and understand why white dwarf stars explode
In April 2018, NASA launched the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a space telescope with one goal in mind: to hunt for exoplanets (planets that are found beyond the Solar System). However, astronomers from the Ohio State University have suggested that TESS can also be used to observe supernovas. This may be able to give scientists a deeper […]

Bright aurora on Jupiter caused by alternating currents on the giant planet, report researchers
One of the more interesting things about the planet Jupiter is that it also has an aurora, just like the ones here on Earth. For a long time, scientists have wondered about the origin of Jupiter’s aurora, which is said to be the brightest in the solar system. Now, a recent study has found just what causes […]

Researchers spot 2 new Earth-like planets orbiting a tiny star located about 12.5 light-years from our Solar System
Astronomers believe that they have found two new Earth-like exoplanets situated within their host star’s habitable zone, or the area around a star that can support the existence of liquid water. These are the conclusions of the scientists who have been observing the star known as Teegarden’s Star, an ultra-cool dwarf that sits just 12.5 light-years […]

Proof that a dead star can be revived: These 2 white dwarf stars collided, were reanimated and will go supernova after thousands of years
Astronomers from Germany and Russia discovered a rare celestial event: They found a star that came back from the dead. The star was located in Cassiopeia, a constellation some 10,000 light-years from Earth. Even though it did not emit any visible light, it sent out strong infrared waves and solar winds. This piqued the researchers’ […]
