The Moon has always fascinated humans, and as we continue to explore the depths of space, understanding the objects that interact with it becomes crucial. In recent research conducted by engineers from the University of Arizona, the identity of an object that collided with the Moon on 4 March 2022 has finally been confirmed. Furthermore,

In an ironic twist, it appears that vampires may not only exist in folklore but also in the depths of space. These extraterrestrial bloodsuckers, known as “stellar vampires” or Be stars, have recently captured the attention of astronomers. Be stars are a type of B-type star, characterized by their extreme heat, intense brightness, and vibrant

In the vast expanse of the universe, NASA scientists have made a puzzling discovery – a group of planets that seem to be shrinking. While there is a variety of exoplanets, including gas giants, rocky globes, and even “super-puffs”, there is a peculiar absence of planets that are 1.5 to two times the width of

SpaceX encountered both success and failure during the second test launch of its Starship rocket. The largest rocket ever built, with ambitions of colonizing Mars, took off from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. While the booster successfully separated from the spacecraft, both components ultimately exploded over the ocean. This article examines the outcomes of the

Swirling patterns etched into the surface of the Moon have long been a subject of intrigue for scientists and space enthusiasts alike. Known as lunar swirls, these enigmatic features have eluded a clear explanation of their origin. However, recent studies have uncovered a fascinating connection between lunar topography and the formation of these bright patterns.

Scientists in the US have recently confirmed the existence of an exoplanet called LTT 1445 Ac, which orbits a small red dwarf star only 22 light-years away from our Solar System. What makes this discovery particularly significant is that LTT 1445 Ac is the closest known Earth-sized world to us. While this exoplanet is too

Cosmic-ray electrons have long puzzled scientists with their immense power and elusive origins. However, recent groundbreaking research has shed new light on this enigma, thanks to the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) aboard the International Space Station. Since 2015, the CALET Collaboration has collected an astonishing dataset of over 7 million particles, providing crucial insights into

The year 2021 has been a treat for avid skywatchers, with a myriad of captivating cosmic events. From dazzling planetary alignments to mesmerizing meteor showers, there has been no shortage of celestial wonders. And now, the Universe is about to deliver another celestial spectacle – the Leonid meteor shower, set to peak in the early

The supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, situated at the center of the Milky Way, has long fascinated astronomers. While it may not be as active as some other galaxies’ black holes, it still exhibits strange behavior that astrophysicists continue to unravel. In a recent study conducted by Gustavo Magallanes-Guijón and Sergio Mendoza from the National

China’s space program has been making significant progress in recent years, with the aim of becoming a major player in space exploration. As part of its strategy to rival NASA and establish itself as a superpower in space, China has set its sights on Mars. In a new study published in the journal Chinese Science

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently provided astronomers with a significant piece of evidence supporting the long-standing hypothesis on planet formation. This evidence confirms the theory of ‘icy pebble drift,’ which is believed to play a crucial role in the formation of planets like our own. The concept of icy pebble drift can

The Universe is a vast and mysterious place, filled with countless galaxies and celestial wonders. Among these, a galaxy known as ceers-2112 has captured the attention of astronomers worldwide. Its existence challenges our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, raising intriguing questions about the early Universe. Through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope
