Scientists have created the largest map of the universe showing 47 million galaxies. The images were captured over five years by the 5,000 eyes of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. The project will soon reveal additional data on dark energy.

Galaxies created in the lab offer a view into what they looked like during formation and also how they might sound. This simulation was made as part of the COLIBRE project, and scientists have made a realistic-looking cosmic event.

A new study has presented a strong case for sending a mission to Venus to look for signs of life. Scientists say their latest finding shows that Venus' atmosphere could contain the requisites that support microbial life.

In the vacuum of space, you cannot see an asteroid unless sunlight reflects off of its surface (its albedo). A 6-foot rock made of dark, carbon-rich or metallic material reflects almost no light against the pitch-black backdrop of space. 



'45,000 MPH blindspot': Why NASA failed to detect Northeast Ohio's 250-ton TNT Meteor before it hit Earth

Meteors strike the Earth's atmosphere daily, but they are almost entirely invisible during the day. For a meteor to be visible against a bright blue morning sky, as this one was at 8:57 a.m, it must be overwhelmingly luminous and incredibly powerful.

A collision between two planets was seen from Earth, an event that has only been seen a handful of times in the past. Scientists noticed chaos and temperatures running extremely high near the constellation Puppis, and were surprised when they found the reason.

Chaos, heat and a star that went bonkers: Scientists see major collision between two planets

Asteroid 2024 YR4 will miss the moon in 2032. Scientists have calculated that not only will it miss Earth, but it will also not collide with the moon anymore, an event that had a high chance of happening until recently. James Webb Space Telescope takes the honours.

Moon is safe - JWST pulls off near-impossible feat, locates asteroid that had gone into hiding

LHS 1903 is located 116 light-years away and has four planets, which are placed incorrectly. The placement of the planets goes against standard knowledge and has never been seen before. Scientists are calling it an inside-out star system. 

Rock, gas, gas, rock? Star system with 'strange disorder' baffles scientists

Rocket launches are precision operations where even minor weather disturbances can cause catastrophic failure. Space agencies follow strict 'Launch Commit Criteria' to monitor wind, lightning, and atmospheric conditions. 

How can weather affect a rocket launch?

The Ring Nebula has a mysterious iron bar inside it. Scientists had never seen anything like it before, and the discovery has left them shocked. Where did this iron come from? Could it have been left behind by a planet like Earth?

What would Earth look like after it dies? Mysterious iron bar inside Ring Nebula could be our planet's fate

New Norcia 3, an antenna installed in Perth by the European Space Agency, will prove fruitful in keeping the spacecraft in space connected with Earth. It will ensure data is received quickly and that the channel of communication never breaks. 

Scientists set up a 'phone line' between Earth and spacecraft in cosmos

The biggest known cosmic hamburger, a giant protoplanetary disk, is showing signs of planet formation. Scientists are watching closely as they eagerly await planets to be formed from all the dust that is present in this system.

Monster 'cosmic hamburger' shows signs of major activity that points to something huge

A planet about the size of Saturn has been discovered roaming through the Milky Way. It is a rogue body that was kicked out of its star system billions of years ago. This is the first time astronomers have been able to measure the mass of a rogue planet.

A Spanish military communications satellite was struck by a space particle while on its way to the geostationary orbit above Earth. The tech team is trying to gauge the damage, and if it is not fixable, another one could be launched later.

The universe will end someday, as it is expanding and stretching due to dark energy. But a South Korean scientist says this force is weakening, and the expansion has slowed down. Soon, gravity will become the bigger force and the universe will end in a Big Crunch.

Universe will collapse into one big fireball, with stars and planets sucked into a core

Comets have tails; 3I/ATLAS has a tail, and even Mercury has one. Does Earth have a tail? Yes. Our planet also has a tail, which possibly extends to two million kilometres into space. It is present on the dark side of the planet.

Earth has a tail, flowing for millions of kilometres into space on its dark side

Astronomers made some stunning discoveries in the universe in 2025. From the oldest supermassive black hole, to an asteroid that is spinning against the laws of Physics, here are 10 such findings.

9 space discoveries of 2025 that stumped astronomers

3I/ATLAS, comets, asteroids, quasi-moon and more. In 2025, scientists spotted several strange events and objects in the universe. There was a dying hole, and the oldest supermassive black hole. Here are some of the most mysterious cosmic events we saw in 2025.

The Artemis Moon mission is in trouble. SpaceX is now falling behind schedule on the Starship lunar lander, forcing NASA to take drastic action. The agency just launched an open call, inviting rivals like Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin to submit new designs for the crucial Human Landing System. This multi-billion US dollar development is a seismic shift in the new space race. Will Elon Musk be booted from the history-making return to the Moon? We break down the crippling delays, the high-stakes engineering challenge, and the future of America's path to the lunar surface.

Water has existed in the universe since its early years. This has been proved by a quasar 12 billion light years away, where the biggest water reservoir ever found in space resides. However, the water here is not exactly in the shape one would hope for.

Are aliens secretly observing us from Earth’s shadow? A new scientific theory suggests that extraterrestrial probes could be hiding in positions where they remain undetected by our telescopes.

Scientists have found a highly unusual supernova, dubbed SN 2023zkd. There were two explosions, and the star was reaching peak brightness for years. It even ate a part of the black hole. Here is what happened.

Unusual supernova saw a star eat a black hole, but the dark monster won

A cosmic merger that started a billion years ago is still in process. Two galaxy clusters residing in a bigger cluster are pulling stars away from each other, creating a bridge comprising these homeless stellar bodies.  

Light-year-long bridge: Stellar merger that started 1 billion years ago has turned into a cosmic robbery
