ISRO’s AstroSat Observes First-Ever Nuclear Explosion in Andromeda Galaxy
Using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard ISRO’s AstroSat, scientists have identified far-ultraviolet emissions from 42 novae in the Andromeda Galaxy. This marks the first detection of such emissions during their outbursts, offering new insights into the processes of stellar explosions. Four of these novae were observed in real-time a...

Here's How James Webb Space Telescope Helps Us Look Back in Time
The James Webb Space Telescope allows astronomers to explore the universe’s history by observing light that has travelled across billions of light-years. This unique capability enables scientists to see how galaxies, stars, and other celestial bodies appeared billions of years ago, offering a glimpse into the early stages of the universe. By stud...

Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...

Pegasus V, Dwarf Galaxy Near Andromeda, Believed to Be One of the First Galaxies
A team of astronomers at the University of Surrey recently found an extremely faint, dwarf galaxy which, they believe, is one of the first galaxies packed with a very old star. The galaxy, monikered as Pegasus V, is located in the vicinity of the Andromeda galaxy. The “fossil” galaxy that the team discovered has a high concentration of old star...

NASA Shares Largest-Ever Image Of Andromeda Galaxy, Internet Calls It "Extraordinarily Beautiful"
American space agency NASA on Sunday shared the "largest-ever" image assembled of the Andromeda galaxy by the Hubble Space Telescope. The picture was captured seven years ago and it is the sharpest large composite image ever taken of the galaxy.

Scientists Use Retired Telescopes to Capture Intricate Images of Cosmic Dust and Clouds
Scientists have captured intricate details of cosmic dust and clouds in space, including the Andromeda galaxy (M31), Triangulum galaxy (M33), and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. In order to create images of the cosmic dust and clouds, researchers have relied on data from various retired missions such as the using the European Space Agency (E...

Andromeda Galaxy Zoom-Out Video With Over 100 Million Stars Will Leave You Awestruck
Andromeda Galaxy's vastness is captured perfectly in a zoom-out video that was shared by World and Science, a Twitter handle that frequently shares interesting stories from the world of science. The video of Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31 or M31, has left users on the micro-blogging site awestruck.
