Stars Do Not Slow Down
According to space experts, the rate of spinning is believed to slow down as a star ages, but new findings announced at the TESS Science Conference are challenging the theory. The breakthrough study hypothesises that some stars speed up during the halfway point in their lifetime. Some experts have considered this as the midlife…

Dark Matter Will Not Kill You
Dark matter is known to permeate the universe. Scientists believe that the object is most likely small and light to go around undetected. A team from the Vanderbilt University in Nashville are unravelling the nature of dark matter. Experts are still trying to decipher the constituents of dark matter, which they have observed their gravitational effects…

The Examination of Oumuamua
Oumuamua is a peculiar space rock purported to be many things, with some observers suggesting extraterrestrial relations with the first known interstellar visitor. However, scientists have linked its physical traits to those belonging to conventional asteroids. An example of such similarity is noticed in its capacity for gaseous jet propulsion. First sighted in 2017,…

Collision Courses of Exoplanets
Compounded research on space rock collisions has revealed much information in the mechanics of our solar system. Scientists believe that they may have discovered the first instance of rock collisions under an exoplanetary setting. The finding arose through the observation of exoplanet, Kepler 107, a star-like entity with 4 orbiting planets. Through the study…

Odd Ultima Thule
Latest findings show that Ultima Thule may resemble two lumpy pancakes floating in space. The celestial object comprising a combination of two parts, officially registered as MU69 and nicknamed ‘’Ultima’’ and ‘’Thule’’ , was discovered in the Kuiper Belt region of the Solar System in 2014. Spacecraft New Horizon of NASA captured shots of…

Spacecraft Offers New Solar Perspective
Spacecraft Offers New Solar Perspective The sun contains many secrets that are slowly being revealed by breakthrough discoveries in outer space. Voyager 2, a NASA spacecraft, has exited the heliosphere (a boundary of solar wind emitted from the sun) , a feat matched only by its namesake, the Voyager 1. Both spacecrafts were launched by…

New Purposes of Black Holes
New Purposes of Black Holes Black holes are warps in outer space, where there exists a field pressure so strong that neither particles nor radiation may escape its grasp. Scientists have discovered traces of a far-reaching wind that may have originated from the cradle of the universe. The new studies may provide a better understanding…

Martian Orbiters May Provide Inaccurate Water Assessment
Martian Orbiters May Provide Inaccurate Water Assessment Our closest planetary neighbor, Mars, is often associated with microorganisms, breathable air and the presence of water. New findings suggest that sensitive instruments equipped on Martian orbiters may be responsible for inaccurate data that may have been providing false scientific evidence, especially regarding salt water streaks. The hydrated…

Another Strange Star
Another Strange Star Scientists have discovered yet another peculiar blinking star, observed to be much like the maverick Tabby’s Star, known for its physically flickering trait and associated with alien controversies. The discovery of the star may encourage new questions on the issue of extraterrestrial life. Possible reasons for the blinking physical trait include…
