The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has achieved groundbreaking discoveries in the field of exoplanet studies. In particular, it has made strides in the analysis of their atmospheres by studying light from the parent star as it travels through the gas surrounding the planets.JWST recently observed gas giant planets in the system HR 8799 and […]

When ‘Oumuamua passed through our solar system in 2017, no one knew where it came from. Astronomers, on the other hand, think they know how Comet 2I/Borisov got here. Astronomers have found an object from outside our solar system flying through it for the second time in history. But scientists think they know where it
How black holes grow to monstrous scales is one of astronomy’s prevailing enigmas. A new record-breaking dataset, which reveals 300 potential ‘missing link black holes’, could help to unravel it.Astronomers have used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to discover a treasure trove of black holes, many of which are rare “missing links” in the cosmic monsters’

A newly discovered crescent of galaxies spanning 3.3 billion light-years is one of the world’s largest known structures, challenging some of astronomers’ most fundamental assumptions about the universe. The epic arrangement known as the Giant Arc is made up of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and a lot of gas and dust. It is located 9.2 billion

The fact that the universe is not locally real is one of the more disquieting discoveries of the last half-century. “Real,” which indicates that objects have defined attributes independent of observation—for example, an apple can be red even when no one is looking; “local,” which means that objects can only be impacted by their surroundings,
A 15-year-old youngster used a telescope in his backyard to snap an image of Saturn that many experienced astronomers would be proud of. Marcus Reed of Seaford, East Sussex, used a 102mm diameter reflector telescope to acquire a crisp view of the gas giant, complete with its spectacular rings. The student said that he remained
 In June 2014, five friends in Arizona planned to send a GoPro, a camcorder, and a phone up in a weather balloon to record some footage of space. Bryan Chan, Ved Chirayath, Ashish Goel, Paul Tarantino, and Tyler Reid, all college students, built their gadget, calculated its trajectory, registered with the FAA to avoid interfering
We all see mesmerizing views when flying, but some are more exceptional than others. A pilot flying over the Atlantic noticed one of these, according to a post shared on Reddit. The caption says, “Mysterious red glow seen over the Atlantic, pilot says he’s never seen anything like it. Via July 2022.” A frightening red glow

This is the first time that scientists have discovered a signal coming from a galaxy 9 billion light years from Earth. The radio signal was detected by Pune, India’s giant VHF radio telescope. The huge radio telescope is equipped with thirty parabolic antennas, each pointed skyward and with a diameter of about 45 meters. This
