NASA’s Hubble and New Horizons Collaborate for Uranus Observation, Shedding Light on Exoplanet Imaging
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft teamed up for a unique dual observation of Uranus, providing valuable insights into planetary atmospheres. Hubble captured high-resolution images, revealing atmospheric features, while New Horizons, 6.5 billion miles away, saw the planet as a small dot. This combined data helps researche...

COVID-19 Lockdown Caused Moon’s Temperature to Drop by 8-10 Kelvin, Reveals Indian Study
Indian scientists found that during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, lunar temperatures dropped by 8-10 Kelvin. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, analysed data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing six sites on the Moon’s surface between 2017 and 2023. The temperature drop is lin...

Our Solar System Will Eventually Be "Crushed And Ground To Dust", Study Finds
Solar Eclipse 2024: The Sun gives energy to life on Earth, and without this star, we wouldn't be here. But even stars have limited lifetimes, and someday our Sun will die and our planet will be swallowed by it before it becomes a white dwarf.

Space Junk Will Block Out Stars And Prevent Detection Of Alien Life, Experts Warn
Experts have recently warned that an abundance of satellites is threatening to "clog up" the night skies, blocking out stars and leaving astronomers unable to make observations or detect alien life.

Milgromian Dynamics, an Alternative Theory of Gravity, Discovered Based on Spin on Galaxy Rotation
A group of astronomers has revived an alternative gravity theory, known as Milgromian Dynamics or MOND. It is a controversial alternative to Albert Einstein's General Relativity that does not require dark matter.

Giant Mysterious Ring Near Milky Way Galaxy Could Be an Intergalactic Supernova Remnant
The international team of experts found a mysterious circular ring that is believed to be the remains of an exploded star. This giant ring-shaped phenomenon near our neighbouring galaxy is being called a "rogue" supernova remnant. Named J0624–6948, it is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
