Sun’s Magnetic Activity Is Making It Difficult to Gauge Its True Age, Study Finds
Astronomers have traditionally relied on helioseismology to estimate the Sun's age by analysing the vibrations that ripple through its interior. However, recent research has uncovered a significant obstacle, the Sun's magnetic activity, which follows an 11-year cycle, appears to be distorting these measurements. Data from the Birmingham Solar Oscil...

Sun's Magnetic Field May Originate Closer To Solar Surface: Study
The sun's magnetic field, which causes solar storms like the one that hit Earth this month and produced beautiful auroras, may originate at shallower depths in the star's interior than previously thought, according to researchers.

Sun-Like Star "Repeatedly Shredded, Consumed By Black Hole" Spotted By Astronomers
The star, known as Swift J0230, follows an elliptical orbit around a low-mass black hole situated at the centre of its galaxy.

James Webb Captures Stunning Image Of Most Distant Star Ever Detected
Earendel possesses a temperature approximately twice that of the sun and is likely accompanied by a stellar partner.

First Ever View of the Milky Way Seen Through the Lens of Neutrino Particles
Data collected by an observatory in Antarctica has produced our first view of the Milky Way galaxy through the lens of neutrino particles. It’s the first time we have seen our galaxy “painted” with a particle, rather than in different wavelengths of light. The result, published in Science, provides researchers with a new window on the cosmos.

Watch: Mercury Filmed Crossing Face Of Sun By The Solar Orbiter
This transit happens when a smaller object, like the moon or a planet, passes in front of a star and dims some of its light.

Chandra X-Ray Observatory Reveals Information on the Events Around a Rejected Star
Data received from the US space agency NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed some fascinating features of a star, which was likely ejected from its birthplace due to a powerful explosion. The star, Zeta Ophiuchi, has a complicated past and is located some 440 light-years from Earth.

NASA's Hubble Captures Malnourished Black Hole at Core of Spiral Galaxy NGC 3147 in Draco Constellation
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has recently shared images of a spiral galaxy named NGC 3147. This majestic galaxy is located about 130 million light-years away in the constellation Draco, also called the "dragon". The image shows the galaxy's graceful, winding arms appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. In reality, these spiral...

Astronomers Discover Potato-Shaped Planet 1,500 Light-Years Away From Earth
Researchers have discovered a planet, named WASP-103b, some 1,500 light-years away from Earth, which they say is shaped more like a potato or a rugby ball.

Star Formation Could Be Much Faster Than Previously Thought, Study Suggests
Astronomers have long thought that it takes millions of years for a star like our Sun to form completely. But recent observations via the world's largest radio telescope FAST are casting doubt on this long-held belief. The new study has revealed that stars could form much faster than previously thought.

NASA’s Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning Image of 'Colourful Star-Forming Region'
NASA has shared a stunningly colourful image that shows a region in outer space where newborn stars are taking shape. It is splattered with hues of red and yellow, with twinkling stars dotting the region like diamonds and sparkling as the sun's rays pass through them. The American space agency said that this colourful star-forming region looks a bi...

How Was Our Solar System Born? Study Finds New Clues
A study of the Ophiuchus star-forming complex has offered new insights into the conditions in which our own solar system was born.

Scientists Discover Interstellar Asteroids Hiding in Our Solar System
Asteroids, like the planets, revolve around the Sun in our Solar System. They have been known to be a part of the Solar System since their origin. But for the first time ever, researchers have found a group of asteroids that originated from outside our Solar System.

These Are The Planets You'd Want To Live On In The Star System Most Like Ours
If you were going to design a laboratory for answering questions about solar systems, you could hardly do better than TRAPPIST-1. The system, just 39 light-years away, comprises a dim red sun orbited by seven rocky, Earth-size worlds - almost as if someone had designed an experiment in planet formation.
