The Discovery of An Ultra Hot Neptune Exoplanet
The masses and physical characteristics of planets are usually predictable based on the distance between them and their star. Recent space discoveries reported at the TESS Space Conference in MIT announced the unusual observation of…
Solar Wind in A Lab
Scientists have finally recreated the spiralling solar wind of the Sun, within a controlled laboratory setting. The breakthrough experiment conducted through an alumininum vacuum (known as the Big Red Ball) at the Wisconsin Plasma Physics…
FETTUCCINE: MARTIAN SIGN OF LIFE
Noodle-like rock formations on Mars are said to have been formed by an ancient bacterium found on rock formations on Earth and on harsh surroundings that are similar to areas on Mars. The formations look…
EARTH MAY BE THREATENED BY RARE SUPERFLARES
Superflares have appeared in the Milky Way’s edges in recent years. These happen when stars let out enormous bursts of energy from lightyears away. Scientists had no idea why these stars behave this way, until…
UNDER THE LARGEST CRATER OF THE MOON

Organic-rich Volcanoes of Pluto
In the distant icy dwarf planet of Pluto, scientists have discovered red ice believed to have been spewed from the volcanoes on its surface. According to the research team from NASA, the detected traces of…
Revelatory Excavation on the Moon
The moon is our nearest cosmic neighbour and natural satellite, yet scientists remain unsure of its history and physical properties. Chinese space experts have deployed the Yutu-2-rover from its Chang’e-4 orbital craft upon the surface…
The Elusive Disk of the Black Hole
Black holes are enigmatic objects in the cosmos that are continuously examined by astronomers. As viewed from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in northern Chile, Scientists have discovered the accretion disk of the enormous…
Tracing the Universe’s Past With Neutrinos
When the universe formed via the Big Bang, around 13.8 billion years ago, slivers of its impression remained in the form of subatomic particles called neutrinos. Scientists believe that neutrinos may hold the answer to…
