In a groundbreaking astronomical discovery, scientists have confirmed the existence of a solitary black hole drifting through our galaxy the first of its kind ever detected. Unlike the vast majority of black holes known to science, which reveal their presence by interacting with nearby stars, this one travels alone through the Milky Way, completely invisible… Read More »
A mysterious visitor from deep space is hurtling through our solar system and it’s turning out to be much larger and more puzzling than anyone expected. The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is only the third interstellar object ever discovered, after the famous ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. But unlike those earlier discoveries, this… Read More »
The ozone layer, a fragile shield high in Earth’s atmosphere, protects life on our planet from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Excessive UV exposure can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to ecosystems. For decades, human-made chemicals, especially chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), were thinning this crucial layer, creating the infamous “ozone hole” over Antarctica. Today,… Read More »
NASA’s Voyager spacecraft have once again rewritten the history of space exploration. More than four decades after their launch, these pioneering probes achieved something once thought impossible — they crossed the heliopause, the invisible boundary where the Sun’s solar wind meets the vastness of interstellar space. But what stunned scientists most was what they found… Read More »
For the first time in more than half a century, humanity is preparing to return to the Moon. NASA has officially confirmed that its Artemis II mission the first crewed lunar mission since Apollo 17 in 1972 – is scheduled to launch in February 2026. This historic mission will carry a crew of four astronauts… Read More »
Moon at Apogee: Farthest Point from Earth On Friday, September 26, 2025, at 5:46 A.M. EDT, the Moon will reach apogee — the point in its orbit where it is farthest from Earth. At that exact moment, our natural satellite will stand 251,996 miles (405,548 kilometers) away from us. What is Apogee? The Moon follows… Read More »

Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or… Read More »
More than half a century ago, on September 28, 1969, the skies above the small town of Murchison in Victoria, Australia, lit up with a spectacular fireball. Moments later, a powerful explosion shook the air as fragments of a meteorite rained down over the region. What might have seemed like just another meteorite fall at… Read More »
In a groundbreaking astronomical discovery, scientists have detected a strange, ultra-dense object just 3,000 light-years from Earth and it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Nicknamed a “dark star,” this mysterious object looks and behaves like a black hole, yet it defies nearly every known rule of astrophysics. It has no event horizon the defining… Read More »
The night sky is about to treat stargazers to two beautiful celestial events this week. On September 25 and again on September 27, 2025, the Moon will pair up with two fiery red objects Mars and Antares, the brilliant heart of the Scorpius constellation. These rare alignments will create stunning views that anyone with a… Read More »
