Researchers reveal binary star system in the ant-shaped Ant Nebula using lasers from the old nebula
An ant-shaped Nebula known as Ant Nebula or Menzel 3 was discovered back in the 1920s by theoretical astronomer and astrophysicist Donald Menzel. It is located in the constellation Norma about 8,000 light-years away from Earth. It has intrigued many scientists due to its distinct shape because of which, a team of researchers started collecting […]
New theory on the formation of the universe: Bubble Theory
It has been many years, and till now the scientists have not able to give an exact definition which can clearly state the process of formation of the universe. Scientists have been made many significant discoveries to know about the origin of the universe, but they are still unsure about it. There are many theories […]

Warm Neptune forms watery structures, indicating exoplanet formation
The distant planet warm Neptune is observed to form a distant exoplanet which is situated 437 light years away from the planet and is capable of shredding lights to the stars in different ways. Often called as HAP-P-26b or warm Neptune by the astronomers is observed to contain a primitive environment with remains of hydrogen […]
Can you help NASA in finding Planet 9 with this new website?
The US space agency NASA wants citizen scientists to help them in identifying the presence of Planet 9 in our solar system. NASA has created a website Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 where interested participants can scan the data of our solar system and help in identifying the new planet located beyond Neptune. Scientists have mapped our solar […]
Astronomers Develop a More Precise Lifetime for Jupiter and Saturn’s Formation
Since centuries, the formation of our solar system and its involved planets has been a matter of question for the scientists and the explorations missions to ascertain this problem is numerous. In such a providential celestial breakthrough, scientists have found out the actual birth timeline of solar system’s two most pivotal planets – Jupiter and […]
NASA Develops a New Electronics That Can Withstand Venus’ Extreme Temperature
If you ever wondered – why scientists are trying to colonizing Mars rather than Venus, then the answer is Venus’ extremely unreceptive atmosphere. The extreme inhospitable climatic and temperature conditions are two of the most challenging factors for the scientists to study Venus – the second planet of solar system. Regardless of numerous advancements in […]
Saturn May Be Steering Away Asteroids from Earth: Study
In a first-of-its-kind effort to decipher the conundrum if Jovian bodies protect habitable planets from the harsh impacts catastrophic events, scientists have found “Saturn,” instead of “Jupiter” to be the “hero” of the entire episode. The long-established belief that ‘Jupiter is the “planetary shield” for earth’ is likely to be a moderately correct because a […]
Cassini Captures Dazzling Close-Up View of Saturn’s Rings
