As space exploration continues to captivate the minds of people around the world, the recent contribution of a citizen scientist has shed new light on a momentous event. Amateur image processor Jacint Roger Perez has taken a series of raw images released by NASA and compiled them into stabilized videos, offering a fresh perspective on

The first images unveiled by Europe’s Euclid space telescope have astounded scientists and provided an incredible glimpse into the vast expanse of the Universe. These images, captured by Euclid’s wide-lens view, range from a renowned nebula to previously unseen galaxies located an astonishing 10 billion light years away. Scientists describe the images as a diverse

The NASA asteroid probe Lucy has recently completed the first of its flybys of its asteroid targets, resulting in a groundbreaking discovery. Asteroid Dinkinesh, located in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, has been found to have its own tiny little asteroid moon. This revelation suggests that there may be numerous binary asteroids in

Mars, the red planet, has always held an air of fascination for humans. Its rocky landscape and potential for alien life make it a prime target for exploration. While humans have yet to set foot on Mars, Mars has come to us in the form of Martian rocks that have made their way to Earth.

After a successful nine-year run, NASA’s Kepler mission came to an end in 2018. During its operation, the space telescope made groundbreaking discoveries, detecting thousands of exoplanets. One notable find is the Kepler 385 planetary system, situated approximately 4,670 light-years away. This system has captivated exoplanet scientists since its initial confirmation in 2014, and now,

When it comes to exoplanets, astronomers have made significant findings in recent years. From discovering exoplanets orbiting distant stars to identifying rocky debris disks around white dwarf stars, our understanding of the cosmos continues to evolve. However, one question still lingers: Are there terrestrial, Earth-like planets orbiting white dwarfs? In this article, we dive deep

Approximately 4.5 billion years ago, Earth experienced a colossal collision with a Mars-sized celestial body known as Theia. This impact was responsible for the formation of the Moon, but new evidence suggests that remnants of Theia are not only present in the Moon but also within Earth itself. This discovery challenges the conventional view of

Jupiter, the colossal giant of our solar system, may not be an inviting place for humans, but its magnificent and tempestuous nature never fails to astonish us. Beyond its enormous size and the storms that could engulf our entire planet, the swirling cloud formations on Jupiter often take on eerie and unnerving shapes. Recently, NASA’s

In July of this year, planet Earth narrowly escaped a potentially catastrophic event when a sizable asteroid, measuring approximately 30 to 60 meters in diameter, passed within one-quarter of the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Had it collided with our planet, the resulting impact would have been three times more powerful than the

When pondering the vastness of the universe, questions about its origins and how it came to be are seemingly unending. Astronomers around the world have dedicated their lives to finding answers to these profound questions. With the largest project of its kind ever undertaken, the FLAMINGO simulations, scientists aim to unlock the secrets of the

Mars, often referred to as the Red Planet, has long fascinated scientists and space enthusiasts alike. While its dusty exterior may give the impression of a barren and unchanging world, recent seismic data collected by the Mars InSight lander has shed light on the surprising composition of Mars’s interior. Unlike any other planet besides Earth,

NASA is facing a significant challenge in opening the container that holds the precious sample of asteroid dirt from Bennu. The Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) container was sealed too well, posing difficulties for scientists. The TAGSAM needs to be opened in a specially designed glovebox to prevent contamination from Earth. This pristine sample is
