A total "Solar Eclipse" is coming in 2017. This has been a phenomenon that has not happened in decades. The upcoming year is filled with lunar events.
Can Earth be really wiped out and erased from the universe come 5 billion years?
Life emerged on Earth because of the massive and powerful storms that erupted on the surface of the Sun nearly 4 billion years ago. These are the findings of a new study conducted by NASA astronomers.
A post-Pluto flyby carried out by NASA-funded New Horizons mission on a Kuiper Belt object (KBO) known as 1994 JR1 debunked earlier theory of the ex-ninth planet’s quasi-satellite. Expanding missions on KBOs in the fringes of the solar system could well explain our cosmic origins.
Scientists don't only try to find Earth-like planets with their sophisticated telescopes. They also look at the younger sun-like stars for more information. The logic says that since Earth is the only planet where life can sustain, if the scientists have to look for other planets to find surviving life forms, they will have to look in places that have conditions similar to our own. However, according to Lisa Kaltenegger, astronomer, a lot of opportunity is being lost.
A new study reveals that car door windows do not offer as much protection from UV Rays as the car windshields do. The findings reveal that less protection from sun’s harmful rays in the side windows exposes drivers to higher risk of left eye cataracts and skin cancer on the left side of the face.
Weight measurements were made by determining the speed of dust cloud orbiting the galaxy that houses the black hole.
The experiment to create ribose in conditions similar to that of a comet's icy surface strengthen the theory that a comet or asteroid strike could have triggered life on Earth.
The system is around 680 light years from Earth. The planet's proximity to its sun causes its atmosphere to inflate due to heat.
The planet's orbit was estimated based on the gravitational force it exerts on some Kuiper Belt Objects.
Researchers have shown how solar cells can be placed on simple designs of cut plastic that can track the sun more effectively than conventional tracking panels.
Three planets that can be described as super-Earths and one big outer planet form a system similar to our own solar system.
The star system is rare and is said to be 250 light-years away.
The leap second will be added to compensate for Earth's slowing rotation
Hubble Telescope helped astrophysicists discover a planet that is losing its atmosphere to evaporation, as the planet is too close to its star.
