A new study revealed that Pluto’s four smaller moons might have been formed following a violent impact on Charon, the dwarf planet’s largest satellite.

A video recently posted on YouTube explored a scenario involving a direct collision between Earth and Jupiter. It described how Earth would be destroyed as it gets devoured by the gas giant.

NASA’s solar satellite detected the sudden increase in the brightness of a comet that’s currently moving towards the Sun. Scientists believe that the comet will become visible to the human eye within the next couple of days.

The sudden disappearance of a star millions of times brighter than the Sun has baffled scientists. It is possible that the stellar object suddenly died and turned into a black hole.

A group of astronomers was able to identify the center of the Solar System by monitoring the emissions of pulsars. Contrary to popular belief, the center of the system is not exactly the Sun.

A stream of solar winds escaping from a hole in the Sun’s atmosphere is expected to hit Earth within the next couple of days. The approaching solar weather could cause geomagnetic unrest on the planet.

A satellite orbiting the Moon captured the amazing moment when a total solar eclipse occurred. The photos taken by the satellite show the cosmic phenomenon from the Moon’s perspective.

NASA has released a new time-lapse video showing images of the Sun taken by a solar satellite for about 10 years. The video shows the Sun’s various activities during the last decade.

A UFO expert claimed to have spotted an alleged alien vessel three times bigger than Earth flying near the Sun. The expert believes that the massive vessel might be mining a rare particle from the giant star.

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory was able to find evidence indicating that about a thousand new black holes exist near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The agency explained that this finding supports the theories about black holes moving towards the center of Earth’s neighborhood.

An organization based in England hosted a live streaming event from the iconic Stonehenge to show the sunrise and sunset of the recent summer solstice. The event was live-streamed due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A team of astronomers has created an updated map of the star known as Antares, which accurately shows just how massive the red supergiant really is.

Astronomers revealed that a newly discovered comet could become bright enough to be spotted by the human eye starting next week. The icy object’s brightness is expected to increase as it continues to move closer towards the Sun.

Scientists have discovered that the first confirmed heartbeat produced by a supermassive black hole is still active and strong over a decade after it was first observed. According to the scientists, the heartbeat, or repeating signal, was produced by the black hole’s accretion disk as it expands and contracts.

A team of astronomers was able to provide an estimate on the possible number of exoplanets that have Earth-like qualities within the Milky Way Galaxy. The astronomers based their findings on the data collected by NASA’s exoplanet-hunting mission, Kepler.

Earth is about to cross a solar region in space known as the heliospheric current sheet. A space weather forecasting site reported that the event could trigger geomagnetic activity on the planet.

A study identified a new factor that could determine the habitability of an exoplanet.

NASA’s spacecraft was able to capture images of the comet known as ATLAS as it approached the Sun. Aside from the comet, the spacecraft also spotted a stream of solar winds and the planet Mercury.

Astronomers observing the comet known as SWAN confirmed that the icy cosmic object is dying. Its deterioration started after it flew close to the Sun last month.

Following the successful launch of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station (ISS), the company’s founder Elon Musk talked about expanding the reach of human civilization to Mars.

A team of astronomers recently came across a star system that closely resembles the Earth and the Sun. Due to the status of the system, the astronomers believe that its Earth-like exoplanet might be habitable.
