In 1989, physicist Bob Lazar claimed he worked at a secret facility near Area 51, where he allegedly studied alien craft. He stated that their propulsion systems relied on a mysterious “Element 115.”

What is Element 115 and why Bob Lazar claims UFOs use it as jet fuel to defy physics?

Every year, when a strange light in the sky or a viral “flying saucer” clip surfaces, two names dominate search engines and online forums: Area 51 and Bob Lazar. Here’s why the fascination refuses to die.

Why Area 51 and Bob Lazar still trend every UFO sighting season?

Einstein Rings act as powerful lenses, magnifying galaxies so distant that even our strongest telescopes couldn’t otherwise see them. This helps astronomers study the early universe and hidden cosmic structures.

This cosmic circle can bend light! Understanding the science behind 'Einstein Ring'

When it comes to the mysteries of the cosmos, two concepts often spark curiosity and confusion, black holes and wormholes. While they’re sometimes mentioned together in science fiction, these space phenomena are fundamentally different in nature, purpose, and reality. 

Black Holes vs Wormholes: What’s the difference between these two cosmic objects?

For decades, scientists have speculated whether black holes could be more than just cosmic traps. Could they be portals to other dimensions?

Do black holes really lead to other dimensions?

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, provided humanity with its first up-close look at Saturn and its magnificent rings. The spacecraft revealed unexpected complexity and beauty, transforming our understanding of planetary ring systems. Here’s a detailed look at the key discoveries:

Curiously, Punctum can’t be seen in optical or X-ray light. It only reveals itself in millimetre radio wavelengths, a rarity for such a bright and compact source. This makes it invisible to most space observatories, leaving ALMA as the only instrument currently able to detect it.

Research has already shown that space conditions can alter bacterial behaviour. This study could help scientists develop strategies to stop infections before they become untreatable, both for astronauts on long missions and for people here on Earth.

Why SpaceX has launched disease-causing bacteria to the International Space Station?

Data from Voyager 1 revealed how our solar system’s magnetic bubble protects us from harmful cosmic radiation, offering clues for future deep space missions.

As humanity sets its sights on Mars, a new kind of robotic explorer is being built to lead the way. Meet Olympus, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) four-legged robot designed to thrive in the Red Planet’s harshest environments, from rocky plains to deep lava tubes.

This space robot could help humans explore the most dangerous parts of Mars

The journey is expected to last around 400 years, meaning countless generations would be born and pass away aboard the Chrysalis, never knowing life on Earth. This transforms the vessel from merely a mission into a completely new way of life for its residents.


Meet Chrysalis! A spaceship that could take 1,500 humans on a journey to the stars

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, crossed into interstellar space in 2012 and it’s been quietly sending back mind-bending discoveries ever since. Beyond our Sun’s influence, it’s detecting strange signals and particles that are rewriting what scientists thought they knew about the universe.

5 mysterious phenomena NASA’s Voyager-1 has detected in interstellar space

When NASA’s Voyager 1 launched in 1977, personal computers were a luxury, calculators were pocket-sized marvels, and floppy disks were cutting-edge. Yet, nearly half a century later, the spacecraft is still operating, powered by computers that would seem prehistoric by today’s standards.

How ancient computers have been running NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft for last 47 years

NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (Nicer) telescope, a $67 million X-ray instrument aboard the International Space Station (ISS), has halted science operations due to a sudden hardware malfunction.

On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Earth completed its rotation slightly more slowly than usual, making the day fractionally longer. While the difference was imperceptible to people, scientists say the cause offers important clues about the forces influencing our planet’s spin.

A sudden slowdown in Earth’s spin was detected on August 5! Is it a warning sign?

Its route through the inner solar system may have been aimed at scanning Earth or other planets for atmospheric or radio signals indicating life.

L 98-59 f orbits its star every 23 Earth days in an almost perfectly circular path. The planet receives a similar amount of stellar energy to Earth, placing it within the star’s habitable zone.

SETI has reviewed over one million objects for technosignatures as part of large-scale radio surveys, while new systems like LaserSETI are being constructed to monitor laser pulses across the sky, enhancing our detection capabilities for intelligent signals.


How close are we to 'first contact' with aliens and what if they’re not friendly?

The science of geodesy plays a significant role in measuring the positions of Earth after tracking the locations of the black holes in distant galaxies. It is done for navigation, communication, and Earth observation every day.

Where are we in Universe? Scientists turn to Black Holes to locate Earth, but phones and Wi-Fi block signals

Axiom Mission 4 marks India’s return to human spaceflight with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla as pilot. Led by veteran astronaut Peggy Whitson, the mission includes astronauts from 31 countries, focusing on science and global collaboration in space.


31 countries unite for Axiom Mission 4 – What makes it special for India

A study led by Tanguy Bertrand of the Paris Observatory, in Nature Astronomy, found that Pluto’s haze affects its climate by absorbing sunlight during the day and releasing it as infrared radiation at night.

Rakesh Sharma became India’s first astronaut in 1984, flying aboard Soyuz T-11 for 8 days. He was born in Punjab, and he was an indian air force pilot selected for the Indo-Soviet Interkosmos programme. His famous words, “saare jahan se achha,” inspired a nation.

Why do Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma's words 'Saare Jahan Se Achha' from space still inspire India?

Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe. They contain hundreds to thousands of galaxies, vast quantities of hot gas, and dark matter. PSZ2 G181 is considered lower in mass compared to typical colliding systems, which makes this repeated interaction especially valuable for study.
