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.

Astronomers revealed images of star graveyard in the Milky Way Galaxy. Supernova, the largest explosions takes place in space. Watch further to know more.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have shot down a US military drone, news agencies have reported citing US officials. Houthi rebels in the past have shot down American drones, but the latest incident has taken place just when the situation in the Middle East is tense due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Red giant star Betelgeuse blows off its top; scientists dub it a 'never-before-seen' phenomenon

The European Space Agency's Gaia space observatory has reportedly detected several "starquakes" which are similar to tsunami-like earthquakes. Gaia which was launched in 2013 studies the Milky Way and has created a map of the galaxy but it has now revealed new information about stars and their chemical composition including the colour, age, temperature and brightness level of stars.

Scientists have spotted unusual radio waves about 1,300 light-years from Earth. This strange “pulse” is being emitted from a neutron star, which rotates extremely slowly, completing one rotation every 76 seconds.

James Webb Space Space Telescope may be humanity's future 'eye in the sky' but good ol' Hubble telescope still has a place in our hearts. Hubble has faithfuly relayed images of distant stars and galaxies to Earth for three decades.

The Milky Way has a black hole! In what can very well be called the astronomical discovery of the century, astronomers have uncovered the existence of a supermassive black hole right in the middle of our galaxy.

There's a blackhole 4 million times the size of sun at the centre of Milky Way. Check it out!

Astronomers have taken a close-up image of a rare and mysterious space object, rekindling interest in learning more about it. ORCs (odd radio circles) are massive rings of radio waves.

Scientists believe that a mysterious signal coming from our galaxy could be one of the rarest known objects. The paper, uploaded to preprint server arXiv, discusses GLEAM-X J16279.

We normally associate bubbles with water (or with soap, we know you do!). But bubbles in space? That's a bit of a bouncer for most of us. How can a bubble form in space when there is no air?

Galaxies are huge. Really huge. Our Milky Way galaxy is so huge that it would take light (at 300,000 kilometres per second) would take 100,000 years to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.

Astronomers have charted the Milky Way's dramatic history in a new map. The study, published in 'The Astrophysical Journal,' was led by Khyati Malhan of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany.

Astronomers have identified the first-ever wandering black hole in the Milky Way galaxy as per a new study. "We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole," wrote a team of astronomers led by Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute.

Scientists have found hundreds of mysterious strands at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy. They were captured by a MeerKAT telescope image by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO).

The universe has so many things going on that it is impossible to keep track of them all. Though we have taken leaps in developing new technology and are on the cusp of using the most powerful telescope ever built (James Webb), it is not possible to simultaneously keep track of literally trillions and trillions of celestial objects.

This is Milky Way galaxy's latest collision

Astronomers have discovered that our teeth and a galaxy which is 12 billion light-years away have something in common. The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) along with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has detected fluorine in a distant galaxy called NGP-190387.

This element is found in both our teeth and in a galaxy which is 12 billion light years away

NASA has discovered the first possible planet outside the Milky Way Galaxy. Located in the 'Whirlpool' Galaxy, the new planet is 28 million light-years away from earth. How was it discovered? Palki Sharma gets you the details.

Gravitas: NASA discovers first planet outside Milky Way Galaxy

A new discovery made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is baffling astronomers. Potentially representing what would be the first planet seen to transit a star outside of the Milky Way, scientists have found evidence for a possible planet candidate in the M51 ("Whirlpool") galaxy.

Planet outside Milky Way galaxy: This unique discovery is baffling scientists

The heart of the milky way galaxy, also known as the galactic centre is emitting some 'unusual radio waves'. Extraordinary signals that are unlike anything known to mankind have been discovered by a team of scientists at the university of Sydney. The scientists say these signals are beyond their understanding. That they're not coming from a star or a planet. But from a new kind of celestial object. The story is truly puzzling. The question is, could this be a new sign of life in outer space?

That space is filled with breathtaking visual treats is something that is commonly known. But who knew space sounded divine? We may have grown up on tv shows and movies using the usual zip-zap-zoom to represent what they thought were sounds in space.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has spotted a contingent of young stars and star-forming clouds jutting out from the Milky Way's Sagittarius Arm.

Scientists have discovered light 'echoes' emitted from behind a black hole in the Milky Way galaxy. Palki Sharma tells you how this discovery vindicates a century-old theory by Albert Einstein.

Scientists have resolved a 13-billion-year-old mystery of the Milky Way's elements with the help of a stellar explosion in space. The Milky Way began to form relatively soon after the Big Bang explosion that marked the beginning of the universe some 13.

We know what is at the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, a Supermassive Black Hole. The unimaginably huge gravity associated with this Supermassive Black Hole is the reason billions of stars in our galaxy are held 'together'.
