A gamma-ray space telescope engaged in scanning the cosmos has augmented its catalog with hundreds of potent dead stars. This inclusion of 294 stars, previously unidentified, elevates the count of gamma-ray pulsars in the Fermi catalog to over 340 objects. This marks a significant advancement from the telescope’s initiation in 2008, when fewer than 10 such pulsars were known, Science Alert reported. The recently unveiled … Continue reading Hundreds of Dead Stars Discovered Pulsing Gamma Rays

The James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled AzTECC71, a dusty star-forming galaxy from the early universe, challenging previous assumptions about the prevalence and composition of galaxies. This discovery provides new insights into cosmic history and the evolution of galaxies. Initially observed as a luminous blob through ground-based telescopes, AzTECC71 mysteriously disappeared in Hubble Space Telescope images. Now, the elusive entity has reemerged as a faint … Continue reading Webb Captures Mysterious Reappearance of a Ghostly Object

Astronomers have uncovered an unusual family of six planets located approximately 100 light years away from Earth. These exoplanets are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, placing them in a category known as sub-Neptunes, commonly observed around sun-like stars in the Milky Way. What distinguishes this discovery is that the planetary system exhibits resonance, indicating that the six planets engage in a celestial dance, … Continue reading 6-planet solar system found in Milky Way galaxy with all planets in sync

Last week, many were treated to a dazzling display of auroras thanks to strong solar activity. This week, the Earth is likely to be impacted by even more solar activity, without the aerial color show. Over the weekend, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Monday and Tuesday, saying a “high speed stream from a coronal hole is expected to influence the … Continue reading Geomagnetic storm likely to impact Earth through Tuesday

Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) assumed manual control of an approaching cargo ship carrying numerous supplies following a malfunction in its automated rendezvous system. The unmanned cargo ship, named Progress 86, successfully docked with the ISS’s Russian-built Poisk module under the remote guidance of Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub. Monitoring its approach from inside the ISS, Kononenko utilized a system … Continue reading Cosmonauts dock Russian Progress cargo ship to ISS
