Spectacular New Images Show Enormous Glacier On Mars
The Mars Express typically dedicates its time in capturing magnificent, top-down photos of Mars' surface. However, it decided to get the one of the most awesome image of red planet's surface,…

Astronomer Have Discovered ‘Surprise’ Pulsar, ‘Most Important Planet Ever’ At The Edge Of Our Solar System
Just few days ago astronomers claimed to have to discover a Pulsar , PSR J0540-6919, which lies outside the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud nearly 163,000 light-years away. Pulsars ar…
NASA's Planet-Hunting Kepler Space Telescope Will Soon 'Die'
The Kepler space telescope, which allowed humanity to see huge numbers of other planets that could support life, is about to die. The spacecraft probably only has enough fuel left for a few months, N…
Gravity's River - New Research on Black Hole Points to Gravity as a Fluid
The acknowledged understanding between gravitational researchers has been that space-time cannot turn into turbulent. New study from Perimeter, however, illustrates that the acknowledged understandin…
All Saturn V Launches At Once In One Jaw-Dropping Video
The Saturn V is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket Homo sapiens have ever manufactured. In 13 missions, it took 24 astronauts outside earth's orbit, counting all 12 who ever set foot…
Newly Discovered Planet Has The Longest Year In The Known Universe
Our methods of finding planets outside the solar system are still very primitive, but we're now getting a stage where we can start taking photos of them. And doing just that, known as direct imag…
A star disturbed the comets of the solar system in prehistory
About 70,000 years ago, a small reddish star approached our solar system and gravitationally disturbed comets and asteroids. Astronomers from the Complutense University of Madrid and the University o…
It Would Take You 19 Million Years To Complete The Journey To The Edge Of The Solar System
For most of us, stuck here on Earth, we see very little of the rest of the Solar System. Just the bright Sun during the day, the Moon and the planets at night. But in fact, we’re embedded in a huge S…
TRAPPIST-1 planets provide clues to the nature of habitable worlds
TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool red dwarf star that is slightly larger, but much more massive, than the planet Jupiter, located about 40 light-years from the Sun in the constellation Aquarius. All seven …
NASA Just Released The New Images Taken By Hubble, And They're Seriously Spectacular
NASA has released a batch of new images in its Hubble Messier Catalogue , giving us fresh looks at galaxies, nebulae, and more. Almost 250 years ago, French astronomer Charles Messier drew up a list …
Physicists Discover ‘Clearest Evidence Yet’ That the Universe Is a Hologram
A group of physicists have delivered what has been defined by the journal Nature as the “ clearest evidence yet ” that our universe nothing but just a hologram. The new study could help settle one of…
Multiverse Experiment Suggests Life Could Still Exist Under Different Laws of Physics
Perhaps we’re not alone but instead reside in a multiverse stocked with all sorts of fantastical realms. These other universes are somewhat—but not exactly—like our own. Maybe gravity acts differentl…
Witness Two Neutron Stars Rip Each Other Apart To Form Black Hole
This supercomputer simulation demonstrates one of the greatest powerful occasions in the universe: a pair of neutron stars striking, merging and creating a black hole. A neutron star is the dense cor…
Why Is the Solar System Flat?
As soon as our solar system was made from a spinning cloud of dust and gas, it came about to form in such a way that all planets assemble on a single plane. But through all of 3D space to select from…
Cosmologists create largest simulation of galaxy formation, break their own record
Humans have long tried to explain how stars came to light up the night sky. The wide array of theories throughout history have one common (and correct) governing principle that astrophysicists still …
Mars' oceans formed early, possibly aided by massive volcanic eruptions
A new scenario seeking to explain how Mars' putative oceans came and went over the last 4 billion years implies that the oceans formed several hundred million years earlier and were not as deep a…
'Oumuamua likely came from a binary star system
New research finds that 'Oumuamua, the rocky object identified as the first confirmed interstellar asteroid, very likely came from a binary star system. Artist’s impression of ‘Oumuamua [Credit: …
