Physicists at the University of Sussex have discovered that black holes put pressure on the environment

Using colossal computing power, physicists have modeled how dark matter and dark energy affect the formation of galaxies in the universe

The Milky Way Galaxy stretches for 450 thousand light years, and we are somewhere in its backyard (no offense, earthlings). Based on the data available today, our planet is located in the so-called local bubble, that is, internal

The riddle of Mars seems to be finally solved

There are eight known planets in the solar system (since Pluto was removed from the list of planets), but some time ago, there was evidence that there may be another planet. This "Ninth Planet" (aka Planet-X or Ni

Astronomers do not yet know exactly what they found when studying the ASASSN-15lh object. But whatever it is, before us is the brightest supernova explosion ever recorded in the history of mankind. And maybe one of the strangest

It is believed that in the early solar system, the terrestrial planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars - were formed from planetesimals, small young bodies. Young planets grew over time as a result of collisions and mergers to become such as with

Massive asteroids will approach Earth in September. The diameter of one of them is equal to the size of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing NASA laboratory research

American Mars rover Perseverance makes a second attempt to obtain a rock sample on Mars

Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a black hole or neutron star spiraled its way into the core of one of the two stars and caused it to explode, triggering a chain reaction in the companion star. Scientists could observe such an event

In the 32 years since planets orbiting stars other than our Sun were first discovered, we have found planetary systems to be commonplace in the Galaxy

Astronomers received 379 reports of a fireball seen over Ole-de-France, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, Brittany, Brittany, Center-Val-de-Loire, Camroux, England, Haut-de-France, Normandy

Ultradiffuse galaxies, or UDGs, are dwarf galaxies with stars scattered over a wide area. Such galaxies have a very low luminosity - it is difficult to detect them in space

Globular clusters are densely packed spherical formations of hundreds of thousands or even millions of stars. They are among the oldest known objects in the universe and are predominantly associated with the oldest components of the galaxies

American astronomers have studied the structure of hot spots on the surface of the young star GM Aur, located 450 million light years from Earth in the constellation Auriga, thus getting closer to understanding how our solar system was formed and how

Scientists have found that a crewed mission to Mars can last a maximum of four years. This is due to cosmic radiation

A selection of the five most interesting and non-obvious facts about the red planet, which you should read

Researchers from the United States and Japan have shown that the diamond-like shape of asteroids Bennu and Ryugu is due to the deposition of particles

They are satellites of larger galaxies with extremely elongated orbits, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Chinese rover Chzhuzhong sent a panorama of the Martian surface before going into safe mode for a month and turning off the main power

The relatively calm history of the development of our solar system contributed to the emergence and prosperity of life on Earth. To find where else in space living organisms can exist, it is necessary to narrow the search circle in order to determine systems with the same mi

Sending human travelers to Mars will require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological barriers, including security. One of them is the serious risk posed by particles emanating from the Sun, far

Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) have discovered that a chili pepper planted in an American greenhouse has begun to bloom. They hope to see the first space before in a week

US astronomers have found new evidence for the existence of a hypothetical ninth planet in the solar system. They confirmed that the clustering of the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects is not the result of a systematic observation error and can indeed

Comets are renowned for their vast, colorful and stunning tails of gas, ice, rock, and a variety of other materials. These tails occur when the comet's icy core heats up as it approaches the Sun, releasing icy gases during the process

In the Urals, a rare meteor shower, the Aurigids, was captured. This starfall is unique in its sudden activity. The Aurigids could be seen in the night sky on September 1. In the Urals, they were noticed by the amateur astronomer Ilya Yankovsky, who took pi

For a long time, aircraft pilots received reports of short-term light phenomena in the upper atmosphere at an altitude of 30, 50 and even 100 km, where ordinary linear lightning cannot be

In addition to the wars and upheavals that occurred in the twentieth century, it was this period that became the dawn of science fiction. The period of time, approximately covering the period from the late 30s to the 50s of the XX century, is called the Golden Age of Science Fiction

ASKAP J173608.2-321635 flashes and goes out unpredictably in the radio range - and, unlike all known sources, does not emit any other waves

Despite the fact that Venus is not the planet closest to the Sun, the conditions on it are so dire that the first space mission, Venus-9, which reached the planet in 1975, existed in the atmosphere for only 53 minutes. After this time has elapsed since

NASA's Perseverance rover, after first failing to take soil samples last month, was still able to take a rock sample. This is just one of dozens of samples to be collected in the coming months. Then the rover will put the container in the opre

The Meteorite Society received 61 reports of a fireball seen over Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen

Sunlight reaches the human eye in eight minutes, covering a distance of nearly 150 million kilometers. This huge furnace is 73% hydrogen, 25% helium and 2% other elements such as carbon, iron and oxygen

Swedish scientists have proposed launching a large occult for ground-based telescopes into orbit to facilitate direct observation of Earth-like planets outside the solar system

New observations of the unusual asteroid Cleopatra showed that it is barely held intact, and its satellites could have been formed from material that fell from the surface

Last week, an international team of scientists published a study in which they stated that a mission to Mars with humans could not last longer than four years. This is due to cosmic radiation that will affect human health

Black holes are areas of outer space where there is so much mass in a small volume that there is an event horizon - an area of space from which nothing can escape, not even light

An article in The Planetary Science Journal uses data from Parker Solar Probe sensors to take a closer look at an interplanetary dust cloud

General relativity provides for the existence of stars made of antimatter, stable bosons and dark matter. But they have not yet been found. Several scientific groups have suggested how such unusual objects might look and how much

Powerful solar flares can trigger internet outages around the world. This prediction was made in her report at the SIGCOMM 2021 conference by US researcher Sangeeta Abdu Jyoti
