Residents within an 80-kilometre radius of Beltrami County, Minnesota, reported witnessing a bright flash and hearing a "sonic boom" in the sky on Monday night (Nov 13).

Experts say sonic boom & flash in Minnesota were not from a meteorite. Was it a UFO?

In an astonishing discovery, the astronomers have found a mysterious galaxy which is eerily similar to our own. The distant galaxy, which is known as ceers-2112, was identified by an international team of researchers recently by analysing the images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near Infrared Camera.

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA researchers have identified an ancient galaxy in the early universe that hosts an actively feeding central black hole. This black hole is remarkably massive, accounting for approximately half of the galaxy's total mass.

Oldest black hole was formed 470 million years after Big Bang, and it has just been found

Astronomers recently came across tellurium, an element rarer than platinum on Earth, about 1 billion light years away. The observation was done using NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Two neutron stars collided about 1 billion light years away, releasing a rare element

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery, detecting the aftermath of a colossal planetary collision in a distant star system located 3,600 light-years away.

Astronomers recently discovered an enormous ribbon of hydrogen encircling a spiral galaxy called NGC 4632, which is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. They said they found it using CSIRO's Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope, on Wajarri Yamaji Country in Western Australia.

For over 80 years, a remarkable meteorite lay hidden in plain sight, overshadowed by its unassuming role as a doorstop on a local farm in Michigan. Weighing in at 10 kilogrammes (22 pounds), this celestial treasure remained unnoticed until a curious turn of events brought it to the attention of the scientific world.

This decades-long doorstep turns out to be valuable meteorite worth $75,000. Here's how

The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has helped scientists unravel the myriad mysteries of the universe. Astronomers have been able to witness some of the rare cosmological events that shape the understanding of the cosmos.

In the Venusian haze, researchers have discovered traces of phosphine, which may be a sign of extraterrestrial life. This substance was discovered in the Venusian Clouds, while the presence of traces of grass was first reported in 2020. However, a recent study claims that phosphine has now been discovered further into Venus' atmosphere.

In a scenario straight out of a comic book, a tantalising method for striking fear into enemies has emerged. Picture this: two ancient stellar remnants violently converging right before your nemesis's eyes, resulting in a colossal explosion and a gamma-ray burst visible across the cosmos.

Supermassive black holes in themselves are a fascinating things. Imagine a celestial phenomenon so powerful that it keeps a whole galaxy together. Imagining a gravitational force that literally keeps billions of stars together is something beyond imagination of most of us.

A supermassive blackhole has changed its direction and is now facing Earth, scientists at the Royal Astronomical Society discovered, after they reclassified a galaxy that is 657 million light-years away from the blue planet.

Scientists with NASA announced they have discovered an Earth-sized planet that is likely rocky and could be habitable. The planet, named TOI 700 e, is slightly smaller than Earth and orbits a red dwarf star called TOI 700 about 102 light-years away.

A massive blast of light considered extremely rare and is believed to have been triggered by the collision of stars with a black hole that hit the Earth recently and which could help change our understanding of the universe, scientists revealed.

Scientists find ‘unusual, intense blast of energy’ from nearby galaxy

Scientists have discovered a planet that they think is potentially habitable. The super-earth is located 100 light years away, and is 40% larger than Earth. Molly Gambhir brings you a report.
