Scientists think they have finally found evidence for the existence of a cosmic object that has only existed in theory. Dark matter has never been seen, but some researchers think its proof lies at the centre of the Milky Way.

Eerie glow at the centre of Milky Way could reveal a cosmic giant never seen before

Without Jupiter, planetary dynamics could become more chaotic over immense timescales, increasing the risk of destabilised orbits.

What if Jupiter vanished? Here’s why Earth depends on its giant guardian..

The James Webb Space Telescope has recently captured a striking example: a ‘question mark’-shaped distortion produced by a rare hyperbolic umbilic lens, the result of precisely aligned galaxies and clusters warping spacetime itself.

6 strange facts about the observable universe and why most of it is hidden

The question of whether the cosmos is infinite, or simply unimaginably large, remains one of the most profound mysteries in astrophysics.

Is the universe infinite? Scientists reveal how vast it really is..

Astronomers call this the observable universe, and its scale and limits reveal both the progress of science and the mysteries still unresolved.

Observable universe is 93 billion light years wide but what’s beyond it? Here’s what we can’t see...

From invisible forces shaping the stars to the birth of time itself, here are six discoveries that continue to redefine our understanding of existence.

6 mind-blowing facts about the universe that will leave you stunned

Exploring this cosmic scale reveals not only the fragility of our planet but also the staggering immensity of everything beyond, offering a perspective that challenges our understanding of space, time, and our place in the universe.

How small is Earth? Exploring the vast scale of galaxies, clusters and beyond

From dense globular swarms to open formations etched into familiar constellations, these stellar gatherings are visible to the naked eye from dark-sky sites.

They are products of violent collisions, rare cosmic alignments, or mysterious forces we still cannot fully explain. 

Tadpole, Black Eye and Cosmic Owl: What makes these 7 galaxies the weirdest in the universe?

In the years following the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have tallied over 1 trillion galaxies in the universe, but Andromeda stands out.

Scientists have spotted an extremely rare type of tiny, ancient star which happens to be one of the oldest in the Milky Way galaxy. According to a report by ScienceAlert on Sunday (June 16), the star named CWISE J124909+362116.

Maverick star, one of the oldest in Milky Way, spotted moving at insane speed

In a new study, MIT researchers and undergraduate students spotted three of the oldest stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The stars were discovered in the “halo” region of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way galaxy is humanity's home as we know it. However, as per recent research, the massive galaxy that houses our planet Earth, along with hundreds of billions of stars, may have symbolised something else for ancient Egyptians: a celestial deity.

Mythology meets Astronomy: Ancient Egyptians believed Milky Way galaxy was a celestial goddess, claims study

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has come up with an interesting finding. It has revealed that a box-shaped cloud of opaque dust, which lies at the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, is not just made up of gas, a study on Monday (Dec 4) said.

The shapes and sizes of galaxies are as diverse as the universe itself. Now in a study published in the Nature Astronomy journal, the spotlight is back on the helical shape of our Milky Way.

It's all in the shape: Science reveals what makes Milky Way unique

Scientists have found that some stars in our Milky Way galaxy are leaving and getting ejected into intergalactic space. They then spend the rest of their lives on an uncertain journey.

Some stars are breaking up with our Milky Way galaxy. But why?

Andromeda galaxy, the nearest one to ours, is approaching Milky Way galaxy. Scientists say that it will begin to merge in Milky Way in a few billion years. Astronomers and people in general have started to process how the merging of these two galaxies will look like.

How Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies look like when they merge. Take a look

NASA is gearing up for humanity's deepest-ever peek into the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy. For this, it will make use of its Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will monitor the vast expanse of space for "tell-tale flickers" for secrets that may change our understanding of the world "out there".

Astronomers have created a beautiful atlas of 400,000 galaxies in the cosmic neighbourhood of Milky Way. The atlas features detailed images of numerous galaxies, which are not only available for astronomers but can also be accessed by the general public online for free.

A mysterious structure of galaxies in a giant bubble found not too far from the Milky Way could be a relic from the Big Bang, said researchers who stumbled upon the weird cluster in a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, earlier this month.

Is there life beyond Earth? It is one of the most profound questions of all time. The hunt for an answer is going on for decades. A study now suggests the possibility of life existing on planets orbiting the stars of the Milky Way galaxy. One-third of the planets orbiting the most common stars across the galaxy may harbour life.

One-third of Milky Way Planets may hold conditions to support life: Study

A new study has suggested that the Milky Way Galaxy harbours one-third of planets that have water and as a consequence, are suitable for life. This study, based on recent telescope data provided by the Kepler Mission, states that there are billions of planets — which are smaller and cooler, with half the mass of the Sun — that revolve around M dwarfs (also knowns Red dwarf).

Milky Way galaxy has hundreds of millions of potentially habitable planets, says new study

A supermassive black hole was found by astronomers at the heart of an ancient galaxy which is five times bigger than the expected size, on the basis of the number of stars it contains.
