(Natural News) A sky survey in Chile has led to the unexpected discovery of a “massive monster galaxy” previously unknown to scientists. In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, researchers led by University of Arizona astronomer Christina Williams said that such massive galaxies had never been seen before, hinting that a new population of galaxies is waiting to be discovered. […]

(Natural News) During the recent Astrobiology Science Conference held in Washington, astronomers said that strange signals from distant exoplanets called “technosignatures” may point to the existence of intelligent civilizations elsewhere in the cosmos. With recent technological developments, the scientists said that they may one day be able to detect technosignatures should advanced alien species exist. Searching for […]

(Natural News) New research has revealed that a supermassive black hole located at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy exploded 3.5 million years ago. The blast, scientists said, was so big its flare managed to travel through both poles of the galaxy. This prompted lead author Joss Bland-Hawthorn of the University of Sydney to […]

(Natural News) An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. […]

(Natural News) Mars may have multiple lakes hidden beneath ice, suggests a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. The discovery comes as a 2018 study previously found evidence of a large saltwater lake beneath the Martian south pole, a finding met with both excitement and skepticism. Since this assertion, an international team of researchers is supporting the […]

(Natural News) China’s mysterious space operations continue to baffle astronomers as an object left in space by a Chinese spacecraft has been observed exhibiting strange behavior. Astronomers who tracked the object said that it was oddly luminous for a brief period before darkening again. It was also emitting radio signals, fueling speculations that it was more than just a piece of debris. […]

(Natural News) People tend to think of space as just an empty void in between galaxies, stars, planets and other celestial bodies. This “void,” however, actually contains more matter than the galaxies themselves. In between galaxies exists a matter called the intergalactic medium (IGM). This matter – composed mostly of hot, ionized hydrogen, with bits of […]

(Natural News) The Earth is flying through a cloud of radioactive debris left behind by an ancient supernova explosion, according to a new report by scientists looking at our oceans. A team from the Australian National University (ANU) has made this conclusion after studying radioactive dust found at the bottom of our oceans. While this dust is in […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This […]

(Natural News) The spacecraft Mars Express from the European Space Agency (ESA) captured images on July 17 and 19 that show a mysterious cloud about 1,110 miles long hovering over the volcano Arsia Mons in Mars. Scientists said that it previously appeared in the same spot in 2018, as well as at least three more occasions […]
