While the study of mysterious aircraft or objects…

The James Webb Space Telescope may have captured the evidence of "dark stars". It has spotted three objects which were initially identified last December as some of the universe's earliest-known galaxies but researchers say that they might actually be humongous dark stars.What are dark starsIt is a well-known fact that the sun and other ordinary stars are powered by the fusion of atoms. But dark stars run on mysterious stuff called dark matter. Scientists have been looking for evidence of such a type of star, which was…

NASA on Wednesday released an image obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth, as the U.S. space agency marked one year since it unveiled the telescope's first scientific results.The Webb telescope, which was launched in 2021 and began collecting data last year, has reshaped the understanding of the early universe while taking stunning pictures of the cosmos.The Rho Ophiuchi image was an example of that, showing a nebula - a humongous cloud of…

The James Webb space telescope has given scientists the capability to discover celestial objects they wouldn't have been able to otherwise, such as ancient galaxies that theoretically shouldn't exist. Now, as part of the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey, researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole we've seen to date.  Thanks to the near- and mid-infrared images James Webb has taken, researchers were able to find a supermassive black hole in the galaxy they've dubbed…

One of Europe’s newest satellites is already putting in work. The Meteosat-12, which is run by the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), has captured a new and stunning video of lightning crackling across the sky over Africa and Europe. The video was captured roughly 22,000 miles above the Earth, and it showcases the flashing and flickering appearance that lightning exhibits from space. This new satellite is the first of its kind to provide this kind of lightning…

The American space agency, NASA captured an image of a strong solar flare peaking at 7:14 pm on Sunday. The pictures were captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. This solar flare has been classified as an X1.0 flare. The 'X' denotes the most intense flares and the number provides more information about its strength. The sun is approaching the Solar maximum, a period of its most intense solar activity in an 11-year cycle.  The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on July 2, 2023, peaking at 7:14pm…

The MAVEN spacecraft captured a unique shade of Mars. For the first time, the red planet is seen in a beautiful hue of ultraviolets. In the images, Earth's neighbour is seen changing its attributes as the Red planet undergoes a seasonal change.  The ultraviolet shades of Mars were captured during the summer season of the southern hemisphere when Mars was closest to the sun. In January 2023, when Mars' northern hemisphere reached the farthest point in its orbit from the sun, MAVEN photographed the planet for…
