Mercury hosts water ice

Searching for extraterrestrial water presence has never been so rewarding. Messenger, NASA’s probe orbiting Mercury, has discovered ice sheets on the planet’s North Pole. Finding ice on the Sun’s closest neighbor is astonishing. While Earth lies comfortably at 93 million miles away from the Sun, Mercury and the star are separated by just 36 million miles. Because it has almost no atmospheric layer … [Read more...]

Half of Earth’s Water is Older than the Sun

September 29, 2014 Posted by Editor

Think about all the astronomical knowledge we produced during the last decades and keep this in mind: we are still in the early days of space research. The research domain is ridiculously vast, but what drives the endeavor is the challenge of breaking the dogmatic view of Earth as an exception. There are two main ways of providing data that can tell us if we are alone in the Universe. One is by … [Read more...]

Astronomers Discovered Water Vapors on Exoplanet

September 25, 2014 Posted by Contributor

Exciting astronomical news! With the help of Hubble Telescope, astronomers detected water vapors on an exoplanet. HAT-P-11b is 124 light years away from Earth. So far, astronomers managed to observe atmospheric characteristics of Jupiter-sized exoplanets. HAT-P-11b has a size similar to Neptune, making it the smallest planet outside of our solar system ever to have its most important … [Read more...]

Oldest star in the universe found!

February 12, 2014 Posted by Contributor

It’s seems like the ultimate age barrier has been broken. The oldest living star formed only one or two hundred million years after the Big bang itself may have been discovered. Born some 13.6 billion years ago, the ancient star offers a unique view into what the universe looked like soon after its birth and bests the previous record handily, by 400 million years. According to the lead author … [Read more...]

Universe’s early galaxies spread out and grow through collisions

January 31, 2014 Posted by Staff

Scientists have been inquisitive about enormously massive galaxies that were already old and no longer forming new stars in the very early universe, approx. 3 billion years after the Big Bang. By arraying NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Europe's Herschel Space Observatory, the mystery surrounding the evolution of compact elliptical galaxies, have been solved. Now new research from the … [Read more...]
