SPACEScientists have discovered evidence or proof that Earth used to be covered by a worldwide ocean that transformed it into a "water world" over three billion years ago.
Aspiring astronauts, your wait is finally over! Now, you can apply to be a part of the team as NASA opens its doors for new applicants as it aims to send another pair of man and woman astronauts to the moon come 2024.
Using the Gemini South telescope, astronomers have taken a photo of a plenary nebula called the CVMP 1. The snapshot was taken during the Cerro Pachon summit in Chile. The said plenary nebula is located in Circinus' southern constellation some 6,500 lightyears away.

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.
