A unique astronomical event will take place on December 7 when Earth will align itself between Jupiter and the Sun. Due to this alignment, the gas giant will remain visible all through the night and the skywatchers will get a rare chance to see the biggest planet of our solar system.

Earth is set to align between Jupiter and Sun in rare astronomical event on Dec 7

The sun has now reached its "solar maximum period" in this solar cycle because of which there have been increased sunspots and solar activity in the star. NASA’s Space Weather Programme head Jamie Favors said that solar maximum is a time when increased sunspots and solar activity are likely to have implications on the everyday lives of humans on Earth.

Sun has reached its ‘solar maximum period’ officially. Here's what will happen next

The Sun has unleashed the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle, sending intense bursts of radiation toward Earth. Solar flares, which are sudden explosions of energy on the Sun’s surface, can disrupt satellite communications, GPS signals, and even power grids on Earth. Scientists are closely monitoring the situation to assess potential impacts, though no immediate threat has been reported. This flare marks a significant event in the ongoing solar activity cycle.

Sun Unleashed The Most Powerful Flare Of Solar Cycle

Astronomers have discovered a planet roaming in the Milky Way, orbiting a white dwarf. Around 1.9 times the mass of Earth, this planet likely supported life during its lifetime and orbited a host star.

It may appear to be a prank to many, but this TikToker is seriously claiming that he is a 'time traveller' from 2671 who has travelled across ages to warn humans about the catastrophic events due to happen this year.

In a stunning discovery, astronomers have been able to catch a glimpse of a star which has boiling bubbles of gas on its surface. The star on which the activity has been seen is a red giant star, named R Doradus, with a diameter which is nearly 350 times bigger than the sun.

Boiling bubbles, 75x larger than the Sun, spotted at THIS distance from Earth

Astronomers have made a record-breaking, shining discovery with the help of the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) by spotting the brightest quasar ever found, which is now being called the most luminous cosmic object in space.

This galaxy's core is 500 trillion times more luminous than Sun. It's not getting powered by a star but...

In a rare cosmic event, a "two-way highway" was opened up between Earth and the Sun through which they exchanged charged particles. This caused the skies to light up with auroras in the US states of Arizona and Arkansas along with parts of Australia and New Zealand.

A new catalogue of 126 strange worlds was published by NASA which in detail talked about these alien planets and how they are different from Earth. Multiple papers were published related to this survey which specified some of the features of these alien planets.

THIS strange, alien world is boiling hot and completes one year in just half Earth day

Scientists have been trying to decode a baffling discovery of a 2,000-year-old “computer” found in a Greek shipwreck, which is interestingly very complex. The astronomical calendar, known as the Antikythera mechanism, has been called "the first computer” and has left scientists baffled after it was found in the shipwreck in 1901.

The intense solar wind streams which have been slamming the magnetic field of Earth - also known as the magnetosphere - have led to some major changes. The solar winds have formed the sunward side of the magnetosphere which is called a bow shock and has stretched the magnetic field in the shape of a wind sock with a long tail on the nightside.

Sun's coronal mass ejection bombarded Earth, changed its magnetic field. Here's how

The Sun is approaching its maximum which is leading to more solar flares and stronger geomagnetic storms hitting the Earth. In its 11-year-long cycle, the Sun reaches the peak of its activity which is called "approaching the maximum".

Earth has been hit by cannibal CMEs as Sun reaches its maximum. Here's what will happen to our planet

Delta Aquariids, the annual meteor showers that light up the sky from July to August, will peak on Tuesday (Jul 30). The celestial event in which two meteor showers - Delta Aquariids and Presteids - become clearly visible in the sky and eventually come together has been going on since July and will end in August.

The rays of the Sun are not just impacting humans and the surface of the Earth, but also penetrating deep within the Earth and making changes in its core, as per a new study.

Sun is slowly penetrating and changing Earth's core. Here's how

A NASA spacecraft recorded a video of two loops of "dark" plasma exploding on the surface of the Sun on Sunday (Jul 21). NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observed the two loops of cool, dense plasma eruption from the surface of the sun.

The scientists are puzzled to observe that the Sun has started another solar cycle without completing the current one. It appears to be moving ahead of its time as solar cycle 25 has been only halfway through and solar cycle 26 has only started.

Sun starts next solar cycle, without completing current one. Here's how it will impact Earth

Scientists have discovered a new planet with the most elongated orbit ever seen in any of the 5,600 planets spotted till now. The planet stands strangely unique because it appears to be orbiting the wrong way.

Scientists spot eccentric, backwards-orbiting planet which is turning into 'hot Jupiter'

It is very well known that there are eight planets in our Solar System and then a dwarf planet - Pluto. But now the astronomers are suspecting there is a 7 per cent chance that another planet is hiding in the Oort cloud near Earth.

Unknown planet lurking in our Solar System? Scientists say Earth may have a new neighbour

It has been taught to us from school days that Earth orbits around the Sun, which results in the cycle of day and night. However, if we try to understand the movement of Earth currently in the Solar System from the point of view of scientists, our planet is not currently orbiting the Sun.

Strictly speaking, Earth is not revolving around the Sun currently. Here's what it means

Crafted by humans nearly 2,600 to 2,900 years ago, the oldest map of the world Imago Mundi - which is also called the “Babylonian Map of the World" still exists in the form of a tablet.

A team of international researchers is inching closer to solving a solar mystery that has puzzled scientists for centuries. Astronomers have been stuck by the sun’s magnetic field while striving to understand where it originates.

A major release of intense solar flare from the Sun, which created a dazzling spectacle, was captured in detail by a NASA solar observatory. However, when the eruption was closely observed, it appeared that a lot of solar material in the vast plasma plume had not been able to escape the grasp of the sun and the explosion turned into a failure.

Watch: Sun captured firing off intense solar flare, then gulping it back

The world witnessed shimmering Northern Lights, unlike the name they were visible as far away as in the dark. While the solar storms didn't cause much damage except nudging some satellites a few hundred meters from their orbit the question of course is can we even predict them? Now a new study has thrown some exciting insights.

Unveiling the origin of the sun's magnetic field

The Sun's volatile activity peaked late Tuesday when the colossal sunspot AR3664 unleashed a massive solar flare, the most powerful eruption of the current solar cycle. Watch in for more details!
