Two Fermi bubbles (purple) extend 25,000 light-years in each direction from the Milky Way’s center, hinting at a long-ago black hole explosion in the region. (Image credit: NASA Goddard) Two of the most amazing structures in our galaxy have become…

NWA 16788 was found in the Sahara Desert in November 2023. It is 70% larger than any known Martian meteorite. (Image courtesy of Sotheby’s) The largest known Martian meteorite sold at auction for $5.29 million, well above its asking price…

The European Space Agency’s LICIACube spacecraft captured images of the debris field shortly after the impact of DART from Dimorphos. Studying these images yielded unexpected results. (Photo: NASA DART and LICIACube team) Three years ago, NASA made history by deliberately…

The “beast” appeared over the northeastern edge of the sun on Saturday (July 12). It raged for more than three hours before finally disappearing. (Photo: Michael Jaeger) A giant plasma plume nicknamed “the Beast” was recently spotted dancing above the…

An artist’s impression of two black holes merging. (Image credit: AiVreaSaStii/pixabay) Researchers have discovered the largest black hole merger in history – a colossal collision of two massive rips in space-time that spiral around each other. It could point to…

(Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona) A new study suggests that thick, mineral-rich clay layers found on Mars suggest that potentially habitable environments existed on the Red Planet for significant periods of time in ancient times. The clays require liquid water to form.…

The Milky Way surrounded by satellite galaxies, as simulated by Acquarius-A-L1. (Image credit: Aquarius simulations, Virgo Consortium/Dr Mark Lovell.) Researchers say the Milky Way may be surrounded by many as-yet-undiscovered satellite galaxies. Using high-resolution simulations of our galaxy’s dark matter—the…
