Outer Space

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a unique “inside-out” galaxy from 700 million years after the Big Bang. Unlike most galaxies, JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097 has stars forming rapidly at its outskirts rather than at its core, providing the earliest evidence of predicted galaxy growth patterns. Researchers used JWST’s advanced Near-In...

Representatives from the Artemis Accords convened in Milan, with 42 nations participating. They focused on sustainable practices and cooperation in space exploration. NASA’s Pam Melroy emphasised the importance of collaboration among nations as they prepare for future missions. Discussions included guidelines on non-interference and interoperabil...

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, ...

When my colleagues and I set to work on a century-old cosmic mystery, we found an unexpected celestial laboratory in Terzan 5, a dense star cluster currently plunging through our galaxy at breakneck speed.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has delivered groundbreaking insights into one of the sun's most perplexing mysteries: why its outer atmosphere, or corona, is significantly hotter than its surface. This phenomenon, known as the "coronal heating mystery," has puzzled scientists for decades. The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest human-made object, h...

Europe's Ariane 6 rocket blasted off carrying satellites on July 9. The lift-off marked the return of Europe's access to outer space.

China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe looks set to begin its historic journey back to Earth from the moon's far side after collecting samples that scientists expect will help answer key questions about the early evolution of the solar system.

Russia vetoed on Wednesday a U.S.-drafted United Nations Security Council resolution that called on countries to prevent an arms race in outer space, a move that the United States says suggests Moscow might be "hiding something."

In an unprecedented leap towards the stars, pilot Gopichand Thotakura is set to become the first Indian to venture into space as a tourist.

Barbara Rush won a Golden Globe for the most promising newcomer in It Came From Outer Space

Republican Congressman Michael R Turner urged President Joe Biden to make the intelligence report on Russia's plans public.

The experiment was made possible by the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) tool which was travelling onboard NASA's Psyche spacecraft.

French astronaut Thomas Pesquet on Monday said it was a dream to fly with an Indian astronaut to explore outer space and bring its unbelievable benefits to humankind.

NASA shared a photograph of a "dumpling shape" object spotted in outer space and asked netizens what they think is shown in the image.

The success of Chandrayaan-3 has pushed India into the front row of space-faring nations, which means the country will now also have a say in the exploration of outer space and use of pace resources, Former ISRO Chairman K Kasturirangan told NDTV.
