Solar storms, commonly known as solar flares, are regular phenomena for a fiery gas star like our Sun. These powerful events are not only stunning displays in our sky but also pose significant threats to our technology-dependent civilization. This has led NASA to develop an advanced model that can provide a 30-minute warning before a […]
The largest planetary construction site ever seen, spanning hundreds of billions of miles in size, may very well be cast in an enormous shadow that accentuates its bizarre appearance. In short, it looks like a cosmic butterfly — and, for years, it was ignored. The object, known as IRAS 23077+6707, was originally cataloged as a […]

Imagery from the solar-powered spacecraft shows some intriguing features on the ice-encased Jovian moon. Images from the JunoCam visible-light camera aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft supports the theory that the icy crust at the north and south poles of Jupiter’s moon Europa is not where it used to be. Another high-resolution picture of the icy moon, […]
The planet is only the second of its kind to be discovered around this type of star. Astronomers have discovered a new, Earth-sized planet that orbits an ultracool dwarf star similar in size to Jupiter, Guardian reported. This new extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is named Speculoos-3b and is located relatively close to the Earth, just 55 light-years away. Meanwhile, the dwarf […]
Fourth time’s the charm? Matter of Time SpaceX’s Starship rocket — the most powerful in the world — may finally take to the skies for the fourth time as soon as next month, according to CEO Elon Musk. On X, formerly Twitter, Musk shared a photo of several Starship systems being prepared for launch at […]
Astronomers have discovered a new Earth-sized planet orbiting a small, cool star that is expected to shine for 100 times longer than the sun. The rocky world, called Speculoos-3b, is 55 light years from Earth and was detected as it passed in front of its host star, an ultra-cool red dwarf that is half as […]
Astronomers have discovered an Earth-size planet orbiting an ultracool red dwarf star similar in size to Jupiter. The red dwarf, located some 55 light-years away, is 100 times less bright than the sun and exhibits half the temperature of our star. This new extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is named SPECULOOS-3 and represents just the second […]
