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 […]

Scientists identify 24 exoplanets that may be more habitable than Earth
Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have uncovered two dozen exoplanets that may be better at supporting life than Earth. Exoplanets, celestial bodies that orbit a star other than the sun, are found everywhere in the cosmos. Some of them are located in the orbital region around a star, called the liquid water habitable zone, where planets could have stable atmospheres […]

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth
Earth was pummeled by three separate series of intense gamma-ray flares in the last 40 years. While scientists agree that magnetars, a type of neutron star, were behind the flares, the mechanism that unleashed those waves of energy remains unknown. A recent study offers a compelling theory to what that mechanism is. Researchers from the University of […]

Model for plasma flow on the Sun reveals secrets behind sunspots and other solar phenomena
Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other solar features. This […]

Nearby “super-Earth” exoplanet could support life, suggest scientists
A recently discovered exoplanet could have the right conditions to support life as we know it, according to astronomers, and it’s surprisingly close to Earth. A study that was recently published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics outlined the exciting finding. The planet was discovered using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, by an […]

Study: There are 36 other ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS in our own galaxy, but humanity is too far away to communicate with them
A new study from the University of Nottingham has suggested that there are around 36 intelligent alien civilizations in the galaxy, and that these alien races are capable of communicating with each other. But while these beings may be able to communicate with each other, the team says that humans may not be able to with present technological […]

Scientists discover evidence that large and deep rivers flowed through Mars billions of years ago
Astronomers from the University of Utrecht (UU) in the Netherlands looked at high resolution images of Mars gathered from orbiters and uncovered evidence that the red planet once had a river that flowed across its surface for more than 100,000 years. They believe that the rivers “continuously shifted their gullies, creating sandbanks, similar to the Rhine or the rivers […]

NASA considering the use of “starshade” tech to look for alien planets
NASA has announced its plans to use “starshade” technology on exoplanet-hunting missions. Recent research from the space agency suggests that while the plans may be technologically daunting, it’s not impossible and well within NASA’s reach. Astronomers all over the world have been detecting exoplanets for over a decade now. However, their work has been done only […]

Neural network finds 11 asteroids that could hit the Earth
One of the most fascinating – and frightening – concepts in astronomy is that asteroids and other interstellar objects can fly really close to the Earth, and even hit it. Now, a team of researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands are using a neutral network to predict which asteroids could hit the planet in […]

Mars may have developed habitable conditions as early as 4.2 billion years ago
A new study claims that Mars could have been habitable anywhere between 4.2 to 3.5 billion years ago. The authors of this study have adjusted their timeline of when they believe the red planet stopped being bombarded with meteorites to around 4.2 to 3.5 billion years ago. After this period, the scientists believe that Mars became habitable for a time, […]
