A study analysing stars that were born from the same molecular cloud shows that 1 in 12 stars may have swallowed a planet during its lifetime.
The EHT collaboration recently published a new image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. In the image, it is possible to map the magnetic fields.
A study shows that stars that approached the Solar System in the past may have caused changes in the Earth's orbit as well as the climate.
Three moons have been discovered around the planets Uranus and Neptune. Two of them will be named after mythological sea creatures and the other will be named after a Shakespeare character.
Using artificial intelligence techniques, a Brazilian group participated in a team that managed to translate a charred papyrus from 2000 years ago. Project is part of the Vesuvius challenge that focuses on reading papyri from Herculaneum.
Results of The Dark Energy Survey were released and brought yet another mystery about dark energy. Dark energy appears to be much more complicated than we thought.
A galaxy is a collection of stars with gas, dust, dark matter, and a supermassive black hole at the center. What happens when a galaxy has no stars?
A group of astronomers have found evidence that Mars may still be volcanically active today. This would be a new discovery in Astronomy since, for decades, Mars was believed to be inactive.
After decades, humans will finally return to the Moon. The first manned mission is scheduled to take place in 2024, which will be a year considered a milestone in Astronomy.
Super-Earths are exoplanets that are more massive and larger than our planet but are smaller than giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The question that remains is: could a Super-Earth be the long-awaited Earth 2.0?
A new study conducted by Japanese universities indicates the possibility of an unknown planet in the Kuiper Belt. Here, we provide further information on this theory.
Using data from NEOWISE, a group of astronomers from Leiden in the Netherlands observed two planets colliding for the first time. The collision resulted in a new structure that had not been observed before. Furthermore, understanding this collision can give us an answer to how the Moon formed when the Earth was still young.
