Astronomers acquired rare incredibly twisted image of bursting star 2023
An incredible spectacle in and of itself, a supernova is the violent and dramatic explosion of a massive star. However, astronomers have obtained a picture that is even more remarkable; it is a distorted representation of a supernova, the light of which was significantly bent by the gravity of another galaxy. Fascinatingly, its light was […]

NASA suspects microbes in the Moon’s south pole 2023
Once believed to be inhospitable and lifeless, scientists are now contemplating the possibility that lifeforms exist on the Moon. According to a report from Space.com, the upcoming NASA Artemis 3 moon mission, scheduled to launch in late 2025, could reveal whether microorganisms that presumably traveled from Earth on previous space voyages survived in the super-cold, […]
A “termination event” starts the solar peak with geomagnetic storms and spectacular aurora borealis 2023
On April 23, aurora borealis were spotted at relatively low latitudes near the equator. The stunning display was visible in Texas and Extremadura, Spain, where NASA’s finest shot of the day was taken by astrophotographer Lorenzo Cordero. “It is due to one of the largest magnetic storms that has happened in recent years, caused by […]
Scientists Beam Solar Energy From Space To Earth For First Time; Netizens Question ‘Isn’t Sun Doing That For Years’ 2023
