A new picture shows the "stellar fireworks" of a collision of stars: with beautiful suns flung off in all directions and streaming colors of gas. Astronomers have captured images of a crash…
The Hubble Space Telescope has continuously unleashed a stream of jaw-dropping intergalactic imagery since it launched on April 24, 1990. Not only do these images, which look more like paintings at f…
Impossibly dense, deep, and powerful, black holes reveal the limits of physics. Nothing can escape one, not even light. Even though black holes excite the imagination like few other concepts in scien…
What happens to a black hole when it collides with another black hole? This new model shows you closely. The question of just what could possibly happen when two black holes come across at a very ver…
The most powerful kind of cosmic explosions known to science are called gamma-ray bursts – aka ' death from space ' – galactic events so fierce their awesome intensity is only surpassed by th…
Say our universe is a bubble. And there’s another universe in another bubble. Researchers have simulated what it would look like if the two bubbles bumped against each other, and their work could rev…
A massive X-shaped structure made of stars was spotted at the heart of the Milky Way, which could give scientists new insight into how the galaxy was formed. X MARKS THE SPOT A tweet posted by astron…
KIC 8462852 is at it again with its old shenanigans, and humanity remains clueless as to what might be causing the changes in light emitted from the star. The new dips in light are the deepest observ…
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…
SCIENTISTS have managed to prove that event horizons of a black hole are real and that matter disappears when it crosses such a point. Once matter crosses the event horizon of a black hole it is unab…
A group of three scientists says they have found the best place to look for indication of ancient life on the Red Planet — one of the youngest lake- bearing basins ever revealed. However Mars has…
First detected in 2002, Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are quick, high-energy pulses originating from galaxies billions of light years away. Scientists still don’t know the true nature of these bursts or w…
