Back in 1972, NASA sent their last team of astronauts to the Moon in the Apollo 17 mission. These astronauts brought some of the Moon back to Earth so scientists could continue to study lunar soil in their labs. Since we haven't returned to the Moon in almost 50 years, every lunar sample is precious.
Kepler detected the dwarf nova system called KSN: BS-C11a, that is made up of a white dwarf and brown dwarf which is significantly smaller than the white dwarf.The regular orbit of the brown dwarf around the larger white one is the distance from Earth to the Moon. A total of 83 minutes and a distance of 400,000 kilometers is how close they are.
One object in the middle of the milky way galaxy (MWG) perplexed astronomers for a quite some time. It is thought to be a hydrogen gas cloud on a collision course with a black hole.
A new genesis of life throughout the cosmos is now proposed, and it postulates that life was caused by a near collision of a proto-earth, with a comet. This giant comet apparently carried away remnants of microbes that hitched and seeded a part of the cosmos.
Finding dark matter in the universe is like finding a needle in a haystack of cosmic proportions. The tool of choice is the Dark Energy Camera, with 570-mega pixels and installed in the 4-meter Victor M. Blanco telescope that is located in the Andes Mountains in Chile.
Out in the cosmos, the collision of two neutron stars caused enough ruckus to be heard in known space. These gravitons scattered and sent a graviton wave that was detected on earth way back in 2017. There is speculation that this event is a black hole and it just made the theory of relativity a bit out of whack.
A particular patch of the universe that glows brighter where there are dense patches - this is a stark contrast to areas with sparse patches of matter.
