NASA’s Hubble Reveals Impact of Milky Way’s Gravitational Force on Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently observed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Milky Way’s halo. Researchers found that the LMC’s gas halo has been significantly reduced, likely due to ram-pressure stripping. Despite this, the LMC retains enough gas to continue star formation. Future studies will focus on exploring othe...

Discovery of Hidden Ninth Planet in Solar System Could Reshape Astronomy, Claims New Study
Scientists are exploring the possibility of a hidden ninth planet in our solar system. The planet, dubbed Planet Nine, is believed to exist beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt. Researchers have noticed unusual gravitational effects on distant objects in this region, which may be influenced by the presence of a large, unseen planet. While it has not b...

To Better Understand Why Sun Gets Angry, India To Build Massive Solar Telescope In Ladakh
The Sun is the harbinger of life on Earth, but we understand so little of our nearest star. The Sun occasionally gets very angry; it then unleashes massive solar storms that take down or burn satellites and electronic equipment on Earth.

Astronomers Confirm Brown Dwarf Gliese 229B as Twin Pair Orbiting in 12 Days
Scientists have discovered that Gliese 229B, the first brown dwarf discovered 30 years ago, is actually two brown dwarfs orbiting close to each other. This unexpected find was made using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, solving a long-standing puzzle about the object's dim appearance. The twins, Gliese 229Ba and Gliese 229Bb, orbit each other in ...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Captures a Stunning Spiral Galaxy 45 Million Light Years Away
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the spiral galaxy IC 1954, located 45 million light-years away in the constellation Horologium. The improved view offers a detailed look at star-forming regions, showing pink patches that indicate hydrogen-rich areas where new stars are born. The image, created with data from the Hubble, James ...

Scientists Capture First Detailed Images of North Star Polaris’ Surface Revealing Spots
Scientists have unveiled high-resolution images of Polaris, the North Star, for the first time, thanks to the CHARA Array on Mount Wilson. This groundbreaking observation reveals unexpected details on Polaris’ surface, including large bright and dark spots similar to sunspots. The CHARA Array combines data from six telescopes to achieve this leve...

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, ...

James Webb Finds A "Waterworld With A Boiling Ocean" In Deep Space
A team from the University of Cambridge believes the planet could have a vast ocean spanning its entire surface. They base this on the lack of ammonia in the atmosphere, which would be absorbed by a large ocean.
