A new study has claimed that small Magalanic Cloud (SMC), a small galaxy, is located about 200,000 light-year away, our Milky Way Galaxy is being torn down, a new study has claimed. Conclusions, published in Astronomy Physics Magazine Supplementary On Thursday (April 10), suggests that the gravitational bridge of SMC’s elder Magalnnic Cloud (LMC) may … Read more
It’s been nearly two weeks since NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Willmore returned to Earth after what turned out to be a marathon mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). And now Ms Williams has shared a heartfelt video of her long-awaited reunion with her dogs at home. While everyone was wishing for ‘Suni’ … Read more
An eight-year-old boy from the USA has made it to the Guinness World Records (GWR) for being the youngest person to fly in zero gravity. Jack Martin Pressman, during the flight, performed mid-air tricks such as backflips and 360-degree spins. In a video posted on Instagram, he is seen putting water droplets in his mouth … Read more
Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, the two US astronauts currently stuck in space for nine months, had an unlikely ‘alien’ friend around when the newly arrived SpaceX crew docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday (Mar 16).

Washington: The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every six years at about 186,000 miles (299,000 km) away. It might come even closer in the future, with scientists estimating a one-in-2,700 chance of a collision with Earth in September 2182. So what would happen … Read more
Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander is currently on its way to the moon. Ahead of landing, it captured glimpses of the Earth from space. On Monday, Firefly Aerospace shared some new visuals taken by Blue Ghost on X. The side note read, “T-5 days until Blue Ghost says goodbye to Earth! With the accuracy … Read more
Strange electromagnetic waves resembling bird chirps have been detected at an unexpected distance from Earth, raising concerns for space missions. These signals, known as chorus waves, can accelerate particles to dangerously high speeds, posing a risk to spacecraft and astronauts. Previously observed much closer to Earth, the latest detection occurred nearly 100,000 miles away. This … Read more
Astronauts returning from extended space missions are reported to experience significant changes in eye health, linked to prolonged exposure to microgravity. Researchers have identified that the altered blood flow and pressure conditions in space can lead to vision problems. These changes are primarily associated with a condition termed spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), affecting around 70 … Read more
The universe’s most massive black holes fuel themselves by cooling gas around them, astronomers have found. Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, researchers have demonstrated how black hole outbursts trigger a self-sustaining feeding process. The study, published in Nature Astronomy and led by Valeria Olivares from … Read more
India’s journey toward human space exploration marked a critical step with the dispatch of the Crew Module for the first uncrewed mission under the Gaganyaan project. The module, integrated with a liquid propulsion system at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) in Bengaluru, has been sent to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This … Read more
A23a, the world’s largest iceberg, weighing more than one trillion tons, is set on a collision course with a remote British island off Antarctica, according to a BBC report. Measuring nearly 3,900 square km at its peak — roughly three times the size of New York City, the “megaberg”, visible from space, is heading northwards … Read more
