Astronomers discover what may be the last planets observed by NASA’s Kepler mission
Kepler ran out of fuel in 2018 and, in its death throes, managed to find three planets before its total shutdown. Astronomers, with the help…
A third of the most common planets in the galaxy could be in the habitable zone
Our familiar warm yellow sun is relatively rare in the Milky Way. The most common stars are much smaller and cooler, containing only about half…
Astronomers would have discovered the first dark matter star in the Universe

Hubble telescope explores the aftermath of the catastrophic stellar explosion in NGC 298
The Hubble Space Telescope, in a study to better understand the origins of Type II supernovae, captured this image of the spiral galaxy NGC 298,…
X-rays from black holes challenge the particle acceleration model
X-ray emissions from black hole jets are a recent finding. In fact, how the particles accelerate to their high-energy state remains a mystery. Today, a…
Physicists suggest that black holes could have an exit to other places in the universe
Physicists say the matter could probably survive a foray into a black hole. The experts propose to analyze the unique nature of these objects as…
Lightning storms on Jupiter follow a pattern similar to those on Earth
Data from the Juno probe show that Jupiter’s lightning is staggered in the same pattern as terrestrial thunderstorms, despite the difference between the two planets.…
New Research Offers Insights into Fast Radio Bursts
New results published today in The Astrophysical Journal indicate that the source of the interstellar explosion is in a much calmer galactic environment than other…
