‘Oumuamua asteroid may really be alien technology; it accelerates under its own power
In 2017, astronomers discovered a strange object that entered and then left the solar system. They called it ‘Oumuamua, and it is the first-ever interstellar object identified by scientists. The leading theory for what ‘Oumuaua is suggests that it’s a hydrogen comet. But there are key problems to this theory. For one, a hydrogen comet would have fallen […]

Recurring bursts of cosmic radio waves reach Earth yet again
Astronomers predicted that a mysterious fast radio burst would repeat this July or August. And it did, as predicted, according to recent observations of the fast radio burst (FRB) called FRB 121102. In June this year, an international group of researchers found that FRB 121102 repeats every 157 days. Such repeating FRBs are not unheard-of, however, this was […]

Astronomers discover more stars exhibiting unusual light fluctuations
A strange, dimming star may not be alone after a scientist discovered more stars that are possibly displaying unusual light fluctuations. Some of the stars are dimming rapidly while some are dimming at slower rates, which is similar to Boyajian’s star — a star that dips in brightness for days or weeks at a to,e before […]

The Sun once had a companion star, study suggests
The Sun was likely paired with another star, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. This star has the same mass as the Sun and was born out of the same cloud of dust. It was separated from the Sun after being pulled by passing stars and could be anywhere in the Milky Way. Researchers from Harvard University explained […]

Cradles of life? New research says oceans on exoplanets may harbor more life than Earth
A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that oceans on exoplanets may be more hospitable than those on Earth. Scientists traditionally detect which exoplanet is potentially habitable by looking for conditions that closely mimic those on Earth. However, exoplanets that greatly vary from the Earth in terms of conditions such as ocean salinity may, in fact, be more primed […]

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study
A mysterious space object that came from outside the solar system may be alien technology. This is because the other candidate theory is faulty, said astrophysicists from Harvard University and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made up of […]

Space-time ripples could help scientists uncover exoplanets from other galaxies
Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. These waves […]

Space speeding: Astronomers are baffled by 39 ancient galaxies the Hubble could not see
Astronomers have found an additional 39 ancient and massive galaxies lurking in secluded corners of the universe. The galaxies were found hiding around 11.5 billion light-years away, in a part of the universe where the light is so old that it’s invisible to many telescopes. The Hubble Space Telescope is built to see in ultraviolet, visible and […]

Supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy emits mysterious burst of radiation, growing brighter
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have recorded a mysterious and unprecedented flash of light coming from the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. Known to scientists as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is relatively quiet. For the most part, Sgr A*’s activity […]

Data from NASA Juno probe reveals Jupiter absorbed a protoplanet 10 times Earth’s mass, shattering the gas giant’s core 4.5 billion years ago
Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, may have once collided with another planet in the distant past. According to a recent study, published in Nature by scientists from Rice University and Sun Yat-sen University, this may explain the gas giant’s unique core. Most of Jupiter’s mass is comprised of hydrogen and helium. What makes Jupiter unique, compared with the […]
