On April 8, 2045, skywatchers across the continental United States will witness a rare celestial event – a total solar eclipse. This will be the first total solar eclipse since 2017 and the last until August 12, 2045. During totality, when the Moon completely covers the Sun, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona, […]

Astronomers from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration have made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Through their observations of Sgr A* in polarized light, the team has found strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling around the black hole. This finding not only […]

On September 26, 2022, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully deflected the 170-meter-wide asteroid Dimorphos, proving the effectiveness of asteroid deflection tactics. However, a new study by a group of scientists reveals that the impact not only altered Dimorphos’ orbit but also significantly changed its shape. Before the collision, Dimorphos was known to […]

A team of scientists funded by NASA has made a remarkable discovery – long-lasting radio signals emanating from sunspots. Sunspots are regions on the Sun’s surface where the magnetic field is incredibly strong, causing a decrease in surface temperatures and atmospheric pressure. This creates dark spots on the solar surface. The team’s findings demonstrate that […]

Jupiter’s moon Europa has long fascinated scientists, as it’s believed to have a subsurface salty ocean that could potentially support extraterrestrial life. In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has directly measured the rate of oxygen production on Europa’s surface for the first time. The findings, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, reveal that previous […]

Utilizing the powerful instruments of the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have made groundbreaking discoveries about the oldest galaxies in the universe. These galaxies, believed to have been formed during the first one billion years of the universe, provide valuable insight into the reionization period when hydrogen gas covered the universe before the first stars […]

The year 2024 is set to be an exciting one for space exploration as NASA and SpaceX prepare for the launch of the Crew-8 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This will be the second time in 2024 that a collection of four humans will fly on a SpaceX rocket and capsule to the […]

Using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered evidence of a neutron star in the remnants of a recent supernova. This groundbreaking finding provides valuable insights into the evolution of massive stars and the formation of compact objects in the universe. The supernova, known as SN […]

Astronomers have long been fascinated by the mysterious radio bursts that originate from deep space. These bursts, known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), release an incredibly high amount of energy in just a fraction of a second, comparable to the energy output of the Sun in an entire year. However, the origin of these bursts […]

With the increasing number of launches to meet the demand for satellites, the amount of space debris in orbit is also growing. This has become a concern as it poses risks to functioning satellites and spacecraft. In response to this problem, organizations like Astroscale are focusing on developing commercial on-orbit services for active and defunct […]
