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.

Aurora borealis is a beautiful dance of light across the sky. If you want to observe this brilliant natural wonder, you have to go to countries near the North Pole, Scandinavian countries preferably.

Ever wondered what a cat might be thinking when you just go 'ps ps ps' at it? It may well be pointing out cat language grammatical errors in your speech but it may also be angry you are not taking its name.

Cats can remember each other's names, says this research

Gold is the most sought-after precious metal in the world. Sure there are metals rarer than gold but the yellow metal has enticed humankind for more than a millennium.

This star is made of gold, but it's dying

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!

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has plans to build a pair of identical satellites dubbed 'Disha' to study the upper atmosphere. While placed in low earth orbit (nearly 500km above the earth's surface), the spacecraft is meant to study the physics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere, including the distribution of temperature, density, and chemical constituents, and the chemical reactions that occur there.

NASA has detected a monster marsquake on Earth's neighbour. We already know that the red planet experiences quakes regularly. But this one, detected by NASA's InSight Mars Lander is mother of them all.

A rare species of deep-sea dragonfish was recently discovered nearly 1,000 feet below the ocean surface, called the twilight zone, off the coast of northern California.

Scientists discover rare bronze deep-sea dragonfish 1000ft below ocean. See how it looks

The Universe is filled with millions of galaxies of various shape, types and sizes. These galaxies are not fixed in one place. They are travelling through space.

This f-word is definitely not a taboo. We flirt consciously or otherwise and the eternal game goes on. Some of the best literature can be (rather unceremoniously) summed up as flirting gone on for some 500 pages.

Want to know best ways of flirting? This scientific study might help

Has a night of (totally avoidable) web-series binging left you cranky the next morning? Did you yell at a person you usually don't yell at? Or did you feel the world was a miserable place (more than you feel normally?

Lack of sleep makes us see other people differently: Study

There are many strange things in the Universe. From galaxies to black holes and whatnot. But pulsars are perhaps the most interesting. Pulsars from dead stars. And black widow pulsars are still an interesting sub-category.

Scientists find 'black widow' pulsar that's eating a star

Machines are learning things fast and replacing humans at a faster rate than ever before. Fresh development in this direction is a robot that can taste food. And not only it can taste the food, it can do so while making the dish it is preparing!

Robot which can cook and taste food is here!

It is already known that Covid infection affects physical as well as mental health. But a new study suggests that cognitive impairment caused due to severe Covid infection may be equal to drop of 10 IQ points.

Severe Covid infection may affect thinking similar to 20 years of ageing: Study

It is a known fact that Moon affects tides of the seas. The vast oceans on the Earth's surface are affected by effect of Moon's gravity. This is common knowledge with school textbooks across the world teaching this scientifically proven fact that has been observed for centuries before the scientific age.

Moon may be 'stealing' Earth's water for itself, here is how

Black holes are an enigma. We can only theorise what happens inside this mysterious celestial structure but we don't know for sure as no one, or nothing from our planet has entered black hole and returned to tell the tale.

Watch: NASA video of a black hole goes crazy viral 

Even and odd numbers are fairly simple right? Numbers fully divisible by 2 are called even numbers (2,4,6,...). Rest are called odd numbers (1,3,5,7,....). Learning this fact was quick and easy for us.

Even honeybees can tell diffrence between even and odd numbers 

Planet Earth may have harboured and nurtured life for millions of years but there have been catastrophic events in the past. Some of them were (literally) out of this world.

Asteroid the size of Golden Gate Bridge is approaching Earth

Although James Webb Space Telescope is soon to open entirely new vista of space research for us, good ol' Hubble deserves its due. Humanity's very firt eye in the sky has been steadfast in sending pictures of far corners of space for last three decades.

Large Hadron Collider to restart after three years and hunt for ‘dark matter’

The skies of Hawaii had a marvelous show on display just a few days ago. The night skies over the island lit up by a tiny speck that resembled a 'flying whirlpool'.

Mysterious 'flying whirlpool' over Hawaii turns out to be a dying SpaceX rocket

We've seen it in movies. The protagonist is travelling in a spacecraft. A few beeps later, he receives a sophisticated telephone call. In other words, the person wanting to connect with our hero appears almost in flesh.

NASA 'holoports' a doctor on Earth to ISS in first such achievement
