Scientists at the European Space agency have made a stunning discovery: half a million new stars within the Omega Centauri cluster. Launched by the ESA a decade ago, the Gaia space mission set out to create a comprehensive 3D map of our Milky Way galaxy.

Stunning discovery: Scientists find half a million new stars in Omega Centauri cluster

The European South Observatory (ESO), in its latest photo, captured a rosy red nebula in its full glow. The large cloud of gas and dust, which is known as IC1284, is an emission nebula which is a form of diffuse and bright cloud of ionized gas which emits its own light.

New research has shown that America's rapid adoption of LED lighting might be saving money by using less electricity but it's making it harder to see the stars, due to increased light pollution.

LEDs are contributing to light pollution and erasing our view of stars

For over 80 years, a remarkable meteorite lay hidden in plain sight, overshadowed by its unassuming role as a doorstop on a local farm in Michigan. Weighing in at 10 kilogrammes (22 pounds), this celestial treasure remained unnoticed until a curious turn of events brought it to the attention of the scientific world.

This decades-long doorstep turns out to be valuable meteorite worth $75,000. Here's how

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.

Scientists have warned that the ability of humans to see the cosmos in the night sky may vanish in just 20 years because of light pollution. “The night sky is part of our environment and it would be a major deprivation if the next generation never got to see it, just as it would be if they never saw a bird’s nest,” said Martin Rees, the British astronomer royal, while speaking to The Guardian.

Stars to become invisible to our eyes in two decades due to light pollution, warn scientists

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been up and running for a while now. It is bringing us pics from all corners of the universe. The humanity's eye in the sky has now sent us images of 'sand' clouds in the atmosphere of a faraway planet that revolves not one but two stars.

This planet has 'sand' clouds and it orbits two stars

A new research has revealed that our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might be forming stars at a much higher rate than previous estimates. The study conducted by the scientists at the University of Würzburg in Germany has surprised the scientific community.

Chaos in Milky Way? Stars forming at greater pace than previously thought, study shows

According to a paper published in the Science Journal, the impact of light pollution had some alarming observations with each passing year. Scientists spotted fewer stars with their naked eyes as artificial lightning overpowered everything, making the dim stars barely visible. Watch this report to know more.
