Discover what exist in the universe
Physicists think we may live in a multiverse—one where there are many universes besides our own. But how can we tell if that’s true? Astrophysicist and physicist Adam Becker explores four ways to find out if we do indeed live in a multiverse, and if so, what it means for […]
A new theory suggests that parallel universes or Multiverse may exist, and you could be living in one right now. In fact, according to the theory, there may be an infinite number of them — all of which are equally real and exist simultaneously. The paper proposing this new theory […]
One of the most powerful tools astronomers have for studying the Universe is the James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, which recently surprised scientists by detecting its first supernova, an explosion of a dying star and one of the Universe’s most important events to study. The explosion, named ASASSN-15lh, was […]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has officially begun to observe space, and it’s taken its first images of the Carina Nebula, which NASA calls a region of massive star formation that contains some of the brightest stars in our Milky Way galaxy. The new telescope recently sent back some […]
Betelgeuse, the second-brightest star in the night sky, will go supernova within the next million years according to new research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. While it may not be visible from Earth with the naked eye, you’ll want to look at least 10 times per minute if you […]
What is a Kuiper belt? The Kuiper Belt is a large, disc-like area of frozen particles beyond Neptune. It is home to many frozen comets and asteroids, including Pluto. The belt was first hypothesized by Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper in 1951, who observed that the orbits of planets in the […]
The black hole is a location in the Universe where gravitational power is so strong that even light cannot get out. The gravity is solid since the issue has been fit into a tiny area. As there is no light around or inside a black hole, It’s not visible to […]
The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral structure with hundreds of billions of stars, including the Sun. The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral structure of stars. The Milky Way, an irregularly brilliant band of stars and gas clouds, gives the Galaxy its shape. Even though Earth is wholly within […]
The Quest for the Galaxy’s Core Every star seen in the sky is a part of the same massive Galaxy. The Milky Way contains our solar system and between 100 billion and 400 billion other stars, many of which have their planets. The Milky Way earned its name from how […]
Is the Sun only one of the hundreds of billions of stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy, a vast cosmic sphere? The Milky Way is a massive cluster of stars, dust, and gas that stretches across the sky. It’s termed a spiral galaxy because it appears to spin […]
