Earth was hit by an unusually long-lasting pulse on October 9, which has raised global curiosity. The high-energy radiation that swept over Earth is likely from the birth of a black hole and is called a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB), which originated 1.9 billion years ago. The burst was detected for nearly 10 hours and…
The world’s most powerful solar telescope has looked at its destination and captured mysterious regions on the Sun bursting with energy and power. The observatory has captured the layer of atmosphere just above the surface of the sun known as the Chromosphere. The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on June 3 looked…
The world’s most powerful particle accelerator that discovered the “God particle” is now hunting for what physicists call the ”glue” that holds our solar system, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies together — dark matter. After remaining shut for over three years, the cathedral of physics…
China’s Yutu 2 rover trundling on the Moon has spotted a mysterious outcrop on the far side of the lunar surface. The Chinese rover is in the Von Kármán crater on the lunar surface and spotted the cube-shaped object about 80 metres away from its location. According to a diary of the mission published by Our…
In Chile’s dry Atacama desert, stargazers are scanning the clear night skies to detect the existence of life on other planets and study so-called ‘dark energy,’ a mysterious cosmic force thought to be driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. Central to the race to peer into distant…
In the search for life beyond Earth, science has taken astronomers to mysterious giant gas planets that race around their host stars in extremely tight orbits. A new study is now shedding more light on the formation of these objects, known as hot Jupiters, as astronomers combine observations from the Hubble space…
