Astronomers have uncovered evidence suggesting the Milky Way was flipped by more than 90 degrees after a violent collision with a dwarf galaxy known as the Gaia Sausage around 10 billion years ago. Researchers say the massive impact reshaped the galaxy long before the Solar System formed, offering fresh insights into the Milky Way's turbulent past.

The cosmic collision that changed our galaxy

Scientists continue to unravel the mystery of supermassive black holes, the universe's most powerful gravitational traps found at the centre of galaxies. New research is helping astronomers better understand how these cosmic giants form, grow and influence the evolution of galaxies, offering fresh insights into some of the most extreme environments in the universe.


Supermassive Black Holes: Why black holes don't run out of fuel

Scientists continue to unravel the mystery of supermassive black holes, the universe's most powerful gravitational traps found at the centre of galaxies. New research is helping astronomers better understand how these cosmic giants form, grow and influence the evolution of galaxies, offering fresh insights into some of the most extreme environments in the universe.

stronomers have identified a mysterious object known as '1998 SH2' as a rare "dark comet", a space object that looks like an asteroid but behaves like a comet. The object's unusual orbit and unexpected course changes have puzzled scientists for years, offering new insights into the hidden population of small bodies travelling through the Solar System.

Researchers have discovered rare amino acids and ancient chemical signatures inside a meteorite preserving conditions from 4.5 billion years ago. The space rock offers fresh clues about the early Solar System and the building blocks of life, raising new questions about how organic molecules may have travelled across the cosmos long before life emerged on Earth.

Astronomers are preparing to explore the universe like never before with the world’s largest digital camera, featuring 3,200 megapixels and 189 advanced sensors. The powerful observatory will scan the night sky to map the Milky Way, track millions of asteroids, and search for the mysterious “Planet Nine” believed to exist beyond Pluto.

The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has officially launched its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a groundbreaking 10-year mission set to transform astronomy. The observatory will capture an ultra-detailed, high-definition map of the southern sky, helping scientists study everything from dark matter and dark energy to asteroids, supernovae and distant galaxies.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered remarkable clues about interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a cosmic visitor that may be up to 12 billion years old, far older than our Solar System. Scientists say the ancient object could offer a rare glimpse into a distant era of the universe when stars were forming at a furious pace.

WASP-94A b is a Hot Jupiter that resides 700 light-years from Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope found strange clouds forming in the morning and vanishing by evening. They state that these clouds are made of rocks.

Gamma Cassiopeiae is the middle star in the W-shaped Cassiopeia constellation and has been a mystery ever since an astronomer detected anomalous hydrogen emissions coming from it in 1866. Scientists now finally know what is going on there.

Wormholes are one of the most fascinating structures in the universe, even though they have never been discovered. Scientists now believe that our galaxy, the Milky Way, could have this unreal object at the centre, connecting us to another point in space.

A new scientific discovery is challenging long-held assumptions in modern physics, suggesting that the universe may not behave strictly according to established rules. Researchers believe the findings could reshape our understanding of fundamental forces, space, and time.


Universe in Breaking the Rules, New Discovery Shakes Shakes Modern Physics

Star Wars-type Tatooine worlds are more common in the Milky Way and are actually better suited for planet formation. There is a hostile region near binary stars, but once it is crossed, the chaos ebbs and young planets can be born.

Hostile twin star systems birth more planets, and then kick them out

What if everything we know about the start of time is off? A new study is shaking cosmology by ditching the explosive Big Bang for a “Big Bounce.” The idea: our universe was born when a black hole in another universe collapsed and rebounded. Even wilder — dark matter might actually be ancient black holes from that previous cosmos. So did the universe ever truly begin, or are we just living in the latest chapter of an endless cycle?

New Theory Challenges Cosmic Origins, Black Hole Bounce Model Replaces Explosive Beginning

A new study is reviving the Big Bounce theory, suggesting the universe did not begin with the Big Bang but rebounded from an earlier cosmic collapse. First pitched by Indian physicist Raj Kumar Pathria, the idea could transform our understanding of reality.

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.

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.

Astronomers across the world received 800,000 alerts from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in just one night, informing them of any new observations or changes in one region of the universe. The observatory in Chile has been built to deliver 10 terabytes of data every night. 

8 lakh cosmic alerts in one night: Too much? Vera will scale this number up to millions

White noise on televisions and radios contained remnants of the Big Bang. When we saw it on screen during a bad reception or when channels were unavailable, we were unknowingly watching our universe's past in the present moment.  

You saw remnants of Big Bang as TV static happened, and you didn't even know

A scientist has claimed the place we cannot see beyond the observable universe is where heaven could be located. This place begins from where the Cosmic Horizon ends. However, critics have dismissed his theory.

Radio signals emanating from an object located 15,000 light-years away from Earth are going against everything scientists know about pulsars. A strong burst reaches us around every 1,000 seconds, and it is a scientific anomaly.  

Every 22 minutes, a strange object has been sending a signal to Earth for 38 years
