A long-standing question in astrophysics is: how and when did supermassive black holes appear and grow in the early universe? New research using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) suggests that an answer to this question lies with the intermittent way giant black holes may consume material in the first billion years after the Big Ban
Scientists at NASA have tried to develop a plan that makes use of the Sun as a cosmic telescope.Various studies have unveiled that the Sun’s intense gravity warps space-time and causes the bending of light rays. This will make it a powerful source of magnification.
Scientists have found evidence of a giant ringed gas planet which may be up to fifty times more massive than Jupiter, orbiting a star over thousand light years away from Earth.Astronomers have a good idea why a distant star is winking out. A massive planet with rings bigger than Saturn's could be the culprit.
By using scientific methods, It was on a clear evening that Einstein's friends and followers were able to prove his theory of general relativity with the aid of the solar eclipse.
NASA has announced its plans of launching a mission that aims to study neutron stars. American space agency National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) announced that they will launch its first-ever mission devoted to studying neutron stars.
Space experts trust that stars need to detonate in a supernova before they fall into black holes. Researchers have detected a monstrous star 22 million light years away, N6946-BH1, that seems to have skirted the supernova step altogether - it lit up marginally and just vanished.
NASA just announced its plan to visit a star next year. The space agency would start with the closest star to Earth, the Sun for an extreme exploration.
The astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University test the basic principles of event horizon to seek whether the matter completely vanishes into the supermassive black hole.
NASA aims to understand mysteries about the sun by launching a probe into its atmosphere in 2018. NASA has recently announced its mission to launch a space probe into the sun’s atmosphere where the temperature reaches up to 500,000C.
NASA scientists are investigating the way to create a highly reflective aluminum mirrors that sensitive to the broad spectral range for the future space telescope.
NASA’s Curiosity was found silica enriched rock samples in the Lighter-toned bedrock called Halos. As per study this silica actually migrated from an old sedimentary rock from the ancient Martian lake.
Before, Earth's twin boiling planet Venus has an atmosphere that is so thick which makes it hard to study its surface. But now, researchers are able to study the mystery behind why there are few rare volcanoes in the planet after changes in 2006.
