Scientists from the National Institute of Science Education and Research have discovered a triple-star system. This young star system may provide insights into the early stages of planet formation.

A team of scientists from the Harvard and Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Institute for Computational Cosmology of Durham University, the UK, Max-Planck Institute in Germany and Key Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ran a detailed simulation of dark matter.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared a mesmerizing and unbelievable picture of Cygnus supernova blast wave. The picture showing an undulating orange ribbon is so beautiful it will look like its photoshopped.
Humans have always been curious to know how and when the world will come to an end. Interestingly, theoretical physicist Matt Caplan has predicted when the universe will come to its end.
According to a recent study, Oumuamua an extrasolar object is not made from molecular hydrogen ice. Oumuamua was discovered by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in October 2017.
Earlier Astronomers had observed a young galaxy similar to Milky way. They often thought this infant universe as a chaotic, extreme environment where galaxies are unstable and violent. However, a new study suggests that this infant galaxy has features similar to those of our own more mature Milky Way.
European Southern Observatory's (ESO) has captured a mesmerizing photo of a gas bubble that looks like a butterfly. The bubble-identified as NGC 2899-has been never been captured with such details before.
Hubble space telescope has captured the mesmerizing 'fluffy' galaxy called NGC 2775, which is located 67 million light-years. The spiral pattern shown by the galaxy in this image is striking because of its delicate, feathery nature.
Experts from Harvard College in partnership with the Black Hole initiative have raised the possibility that the orbital evidence for Planet 9 could be the result of a missing link in the decades-long puzzle of dark matter.
e-ROSITA X-ray telescope has revealed a new map of the entire sky. The map which was released on June 19, is based on data from the first full scan of the sky made by the telescope which was launched in July 2019.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured galaxy NGC 7513 speeding away from us at a rate of roughly 1,564 kilometers per second, or nearly 1,000 miles per second. This is because of the fact that the Universe is always expanding and it drives many objects in space farther away.
The supermassive black hole, J2157, will soon become the largest black hole in the universe--Abell 85--which has a mass of 40 billion suns. The black hole is 1.2 billion light-years away from Earth and 8,000 times bigger than the black hole Sagittarius A*, which is at the centre of the Milky way.
Parallel universes have been thought of for a while. The realm has been dear to creative minds as well as scientific ones. Popular media is filled with stories woven around the concept of a parallel universe.
A team of NASA scientists claimed that they have discovered evidence of a parallel universe where the rules of physics might work opposite from that of ours as the time runs backward there.
A hypothesis by a theoretical physicist from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) states that "the earth, solar system, entire Milky Way and the few thousand galaxies closest to us move in a vast “bubble” that is 250 million light years in diameter, where the average density of matter is half as large as for the rest of the universe."
According to the Big Bang theory of modern cosmology, the matter was created with an equal amount of antimatter. If it had stayed that way, matter and antimatter should have eventually met and annihilated one to one, leading up to complete annihilation.
Superluminous supernovae are the brightest explosions in the cosmos. Over a few months, they radiate as much energy as the Sun does over its entire lifetime, reaching a peak brightness exceeding that of an entire galaxy. The origin of this energy, and what kind of stellar progenitor system has exploded, are still unclear.
A scientist and an author, Stephen Hawking achieved various milestones in the field of scientific research and unearthed theories regarding black holes in the universe and other discoveries. A look at famous books he authored & selected academic work for science enthusiats.
New calculations suggest the universe could be a couple billion years younger than scientists now estimate, and even younger than suggested by two other calculations published this year that trimmed hundreds of millions of years from the age of the cosmos.
