Astronomers unveil first direct image of young exoplanet just 63 light-years away
An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. The star […]

Shapeshifting robots straight out of sci-fi can be used to explore volcanoes and caves on Titan, Saturn’s moon
Engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found a way to help scientists gain access to worlds located in the depths of outer space: the Shapeshifter robot. Currently being tested in a robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the current Shapeshifter prototype, according to its engineers, can split […]

A closer look at the voids between galaxies: What’s going on in intergalactic space?
People tend to think of space as just an empty void in between galaxies, stars, planets and other celestial bodies. This “void,” however, actually contains more matter than the galaxies themselves. In between galaxies exists a matter called the intergalactic medium (IGM). This matter – composed mostly of hot, ionized hydrogen, with bits of heavier elements […]

Space speeding: Astronomers are baffled by 39 ancient galaxies the Hubble could not see
Astronomers have found an additional 39 ancient and massive galaxies lurking in secluded corners of the universe. The galaxies were found hiding around 11.5 billion light-years away, in a part of the universe where the light is so old that it’s invisible to many telescopes. The Hubble Space Telescope is built to see in ultraviolet, visible and […]

Astronomers discover and decode strange signals from a 3-body star system
Did you know that there has been an object in the Milky Way 500 light-years away that “blinks” at us daily? Now, astronomers have figured out the reason for this unusual signal. Called NGTS-7, this celestial object is part of binary system NGTS-7ABM, and appears to most telescopes as a single star. In 2019 however, […]

NASA’s Mars orbiter takes a breathtaking photo of a 50-foot crater; impact could have occurred between 2016 to 2019, say experts
NASA has captured what appears to be a new 50-foot wide impact crater on the surface of Mars. Onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), a spacecraft circling and taking photographs of the Red Planet, NASA’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument – a 143-pound camera – snapped a picture of a new crater, which researchers have […]

Researchers spot 2 new Earth-like planets orbiting a tiny star located about 12.5 light-years from our Solar System
Astronomers believe that they have found two new Earth-like exoplanets situated within their host star’s habitable zone, or the area around a star that can support the existence of liquid water. These are the conclusions of the scientists who have been observing the star known as Teegarden’s Star, an ultra-cool dwarf that sits just 12.5 light-years […]

Does Mars have an active groundwater system? Scientists say YES
Liquid water had long since deserted the surface of Mars, leaving only the faint marks of its passage in the form of dried-out channels, lake-beds, and valleys. But researchers said that the Red Planet might harbor flowing water hundreds of meters underground. Previous studies have indicated that the Martian south pole contained lakes of liquid […]

Scientists develop Habitable Zone Planet Finder to help identify planets that orbit cool stars
A group of scientists from the Penn State University built a new astronomical spectrograph which provides precise infrared signals from nearby stars. This new technology, called the Habitable Zone Planet Finder (HPF), will allow scientists and astronomers to detect habitable planets well outside the solar system that have liquid water. The HPF is currently housed […]
