Medicine & TechnologyStellar nurseries are regions in the universe where stars form and now astronomers can hold them in their hands, thanks to 3D printing.
There is no definite way of how a black hole forms in the universe, but the new high-powered simulation from the researchers of Northwestern University could shed light on how galaxies feed the supermassive black hole.
The Greek god Cronos had a horrifying reputation for eating his own children. In the same way, researchers found that some Sun-like stars gobble up their planets.
Kepler showed groundbreaking data, a supernova that blasted. This took place after the space telescope got retired when it ran out of fuel after nine years of operation.
Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park has met all the requirements set by the International Dark-Sky Association to become a dark sky-friendly location to view stars. It is now certified as the world's first International Dark Sky Park.
A team of astrophysicists used new models of neutron stars and showed that their tallest mountains could only be millimeters tall due to the huge gravity on the ultra-dense objects.
Have you ever wondered why celestial objects in our universe, such a stars and planets, have spherical shape? What causes the round formation of these massive bodies?
Hubble Space Telescope captures the brilliant image of the star cluster NGC 330, which is around 800,000 light-years away from Earth, just in time before the Independence Day of the US on July 4.
Researchers from the University of Maryland used NASA's SOFIA telescope to capture the first clear view of an expanding bubble of hot plasma where stars are born.
A group of astronomy experts from Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby Galaxies program has located more than 100,000 star nurseries, which may answer the origin of the universe, in clear view across 90 galaxies.
Because it dwells in the galactic plane, where it may easily be covered by the Milky Way's 400 billion stars, the stellar stream has stayed hidden from astronomers for a long time.
Lockdowns have greatly reduced light pollution, especially in cities, which creates darker skies. A national star count survey suggests a 10% drop in people seeing fewer stars, an indicator of severe light pollution.
