Scientists have identified a distant icy object orbiting beyond Pluto that could be classified as a dwarf planet. The discovery marks one of the first findings from a new observatory in Chile.
A new study suggests Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night' was inspired by a real dawn sky on July 22, 1889, rather than pure imagination. This challenges previous assumptions about the painting's date and offers new insight into the artist's connection to the cosmos.
A new simulation has visualized the early universe during its first two billion years, offering unprecedented detail. This advancement helps scientists better understand cosmic evolution and the formation of large-scale structures.
The October full Moon, known as the Hunter's Moon, appeared in the night sky across multiple regions. It drew public attention and was visible for several hours, with peak illumination occurring in the early morning hours.
NASA is evaluating the threat of lunar meteor strikes as part of its plans to build a moon base. The concern follows a significant asteroid impact in 2024 that created a large crater on the Moon.
Hundreds of tourists and locals gathered at a southern Egyptian temple at dawn to witness a solar phenomenon that occurs twice a year. The event highlights the enduring connection between ancient architecture and celestial cycles.
The Orionid meteor shower peaks this week as Earth passes through debris from Halley's comet. Skywatchers may see up to 20 meteors per hour, though moonlight may reduce visibility.
Japan has launched a spacecraft on a five-year mission to collect surface samples from Phobos, one of Mars's moons. The mission aims to help scientists understand the formation of the Solar System and the origins of Mars's moons.
A metallic object approximately 11 feet in diameter was found in a Minnesota cornfield, appearing scorched on its underside. Authorities are investigating its origin, with officials considering it possible space debris.
An Indian solar mission and a European spacecraft jointly observed solar eruptions, offering new insights into their evolution near the Sun's surface. The data may improve understanding of coronal mass ejections and their impact on space weather.
Astronomers have identified a white dwarf star that appears green to the human eye, located about 280 light-years from Earth. The discovery adds to understanding of stellar colors and the visual appearance of white dwarfs under specific conditions.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 launch produced a glowing, jellyfish-like cloud in the atmosphere. The phenomenon occurred due to ice crystals forming from frozen water vapor at high altitude.
