Strange Monster Galaxy of the Archaic Universe Discovered
Scientists from the University of California, Riverside led an international group of astronomers that found a strange monster galaxy. The said galaxy happened when our universe was merely 1.8 Billion years old (12 Billion years ago). Named XMM-2599, the galaxy created stars quickly and then expired. It is still unclear as to why it…

Brand New Solar Telescope Forms Initial Images
The first images released from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope of the National Science Foundation show a preview of the products from the solar telescope and the extraordinary features of the sun’s surface. The space weather can most certainly affect the Earth’s systems. Various magnetic eruptions on the surface of the sun can damage…

Presolar Grains Found in Meteorite Chunk
According to the latest study by Washington University in St. Louis, a strange chunk from a meteorite could possibly contain some history about space. The discovered presolar grains are minute particles of interstellar material created before our sun was born. These grains are seen in some archaic meteorite. Yet, a new examination of presolar grains…

Radcliffe Wave
Did you know the gas that forms stars was recently discovered just outside our solar system? This gas covers a massive 9,000 light years, has been dubbed the Radcliffe Wave, and has a sine wave. Those with a keen eye will note that the wave is named after the Radcliffe University which is well known…

How Scientists Hunt for Dangerous Asteroids
The scientists presented the following NEO (Near-Earth Object) monitoring systems that had been successful and their possibilities in the future: • Scout Hazard Assessment System. This system contains information about likely space rock candidates. It had already worked effectively when the 2018 LA (near-Earth asteroid the size of a boulder) entered our planet’s atmosphere in…

Stellar Collisions Lead to Showers of Treasure
Gold and silver are some of the priciest elements found on Earth. Recent space discoveries suggest that colliding neuron stars may lead to a confetti of gold and silver in their galactic neighborhood. Some scientists believe that the gold and platinum supply found on Earth may be remnants of a distant collision within the Milky…

New Moons of Jupiter have been Named
In July 2018, experts from the Carnegie Institute of Science discovered new natural satellites (moons) of Jupiter, totaling to 79 in all. However, those 12 lunar additions remained nameless, until now. Astronomers thrusted the naming process of these orbiting spheres into the hands of twitter users, leading to a deluge of creative answers. The planet…

NASA Satellites Show Scorched Earth in Amazon
The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, spanning nine nations. It can be quite easy to miss out on geographical anomalies. New observations from NASA satellites have detected and recorded record high temperatures originating from the Amazon area. NASA’s Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) recorded the worrying signs from…

Metallic Asteroids Go Undercover
Metallic asteroids may prove to be downscaled versions of planetary cores. Scientists have remained baffled by the lack of metal-rich asteroids as original research had suggest. Recent research has uncovered that many of these special asteroids may have been disguised by glassy rock outer layers that had been attached during space travel. Experts have tested…
