The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, a few days ago, decided to once again solve the problem of "what actually is a planet?" The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics held…
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…
It’s a huge discovery which places the current number of alien planets confirmed close to 3,600. The discovery is important for astronomers to map the solar systems of the Milky Way. Astronomers expl…
According to experts, our Sun is tilted by about 6 degrees compared to the sun’s equator. The reason behind this has remained an astronomical mystery for decades. Now, experts believe they've fin…
Everything in the universe is continuously spinning. Nucleus, Electrons, Planets, Stars, Galaxies everything appears to be in an endless motion. Some spin at less velocities and some at velocities cl…
Researchers have discovered that the ring system that they see eclipse the very young Sun-like star J1407 is of enormous proportions, much larger and heavier than the ring system of Saturn. This syst…
The number of exoplanets has risen by almost 100, as an international team of astronomers confirms a new batch found in data captured as part of the K2 mission - the NASA Kepler telescope's new…
An incredible new animation reveals the sheer number of alien worlds that may exist beyond the orbit of Pluto. The astronomer who compiled the data has said that it only illustrates a few dwarf plane…
Could Planet Ten be lurking out there? According to recent announcements, a TENTH planet—the size of Mars is lurking at the edge of our solar system. Scientists discovered that the orbits of Kuiper B…
Astronomers have struggled to assemble a complete theory of the origin of planets that explains how the initial dust develops into planetary systems. A French-UK-Australian team now think they have t…
A double decker spacecraft—which can carry TWO orbiters, one belonging to the Japanese Space Agency and another one from the European counterpart is set to explore one of the most mysterious planets …
SCIENTISTS are claiming to have found more evidence that a planet TEN times the size of Earth is lurking beyond Pluto. Astronomers believe they have found conclusive evidence that suggests planet Nin…
For the first time ever, scientists have been able to observe a planet in its beginning stages of formation. They’ve been able to capture images of dust and gas particles accumulating together which …
It was spring in the Northern hemisphere when this image was taken on May 21, 2017, at 13:21 local Mars time, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconna…
For Americans, National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) has been a home-term since the '60s when it accomplished the seemingly impossible, carrying and landing humans on the Moon. Since then,…
Scientists recently discovered the hottest planet ever found – with a surface temperature greater than some stars. As the hunt for planets outside our own solar system continues, we have discovered…
