Laboratory Test Shows Ion-Molecule Collision Theory Fails to Produce Benzene in Space Conditions
A recent laboratory experiment conducted by researchers at JILA and NIST has disproved a long-held theory about how benzene forms in interstellar space. The study tested ion-molecule collisions at near-zero temperatures and extremely low pressure but failed to produce benzene. This challenges earlier theories linking benzene to the formation of car...

Hubble Telescope Captures NGC 4536, a Starburst Galaxy with Intense Star Formation
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking image of NGC 4536, a starburst galaxy 50 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. The galaxy’s sweeping spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and ionized hydrogen gas, indicating rapid star formation. Astronomers believe its bar-like structure channels gas toward t...

Alpha Centauri May Have Sent Millions of Asteroids into the Solar System
A study proposes that Alpha Centauri could be contributing a significant number of asteroids to the solar system. Simulations indicate that around 50 objects from the neighboring star system may enter the Oort Cloud annually. While most pass through due to their high velocity, a few could travel inward. The frequency of such occurrences is expected...

Solar System’s Journey Through Orion Complex May Have Altered Earth’s Climate
Scientists have studied the solar system’s passage through the Orion complex, a dense region in space, around 14 million years ago. According to researchers, this movement may have compressed the heliosphere and increased interstellar dust reaching Earth. This dust could have influenced the planet’s climate and left traces in geological records...

NASA’s SPHEREx Telescope Launching Aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 to Explore Cosmic Evolution
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope, launching on Feb 28 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, will map the entire sky in infrared, observing 450 million galaxies and 100 million Milky Way stars. The mission aims to uncover the large-scale structure of the universe, track icy molecules in interstellar space, and study cosmic inflation. Equipped with a spectrophotometer...

Over 1 Million Interstellar Objects Could Be Hidden in Our Solar System
A new study reveals that more than 1 million interstellar objects, each larger than the Statue of Liberty, may be residing in the Oort Cloud. These objects, believed to have originated from the Alpha Centauri system, were captured by the Sun’s gravity and are now part of our solar system. Unlike fast-moving interstellar visitors, these objects re...

Hubble’s New Image of Tarantula Nebula Showcases Cosmic Dust and Star Formation
NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking image of the Tarantula Nebula, located 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The image reveals intricate cosmic dust patterns and active star formation, offering valuable insights into the role of interstellar material in stellar evolution. Researchers are using the d...

Scientists Discover Two New Supernova Remnants in a Surprising Location
Two previously unknown supernova remnants, J0624-6948 and J0614-7251, have been detected in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Their unexpected location suggests a higher-than-expected concentration of ionised gas, raising new questions about galactic evolution. Scientists propose that gravitational interactions between the Milky Way and ...

Star Trek: Section 31 Now Streaming in India on Amazon Prime Video
Star Trek: Section 31, starring Michelle Yeoh, is now available to stream in India on Amazon Prime Video. The film follows Philippa Georgiou’s return to a covert Starfleet division, where high-stakes missions challenge her skills and past. With its mix of interstellar action and personal reckoning, the film expands the Star Trek universe, introdu...

Mysterious Interstellar Object Might Have Shifted Four Planets’ Paths, Study Finds
A mysterious interstellar object, estimated to be eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune billions of years ago. A study suggests that this body passed remarkably close to the Sun, potentially influencing planetary trajectories. Simulations conducted by researchers indicate ...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...

Interstellar Object Could Have Shifted Trajectories of Four Planets, New Research Shows
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly as massive as eight times Jupiter, may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago, significantly altering the orbits of its outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using computer simulations, researchers found that in about 1% of the scenarios, such a close ...
