It was just this year that we got our first real look at a black hole, and it matched many of the theoretical predictions that came before the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project made history. An impressive new NASA simulation […]

Nasa’s most recent illustration of a black hole surrounded by an ‘accretion disc’ of gas, dust and other material (Image: Nasa) A Nasa satellite has detected a black hole feasting on an unfortunate star. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) watched as the monster ate its victim after ‘ripping it to shreds’. This monstrous mukbang

What if there were a safe way to approach a black hole, like in the movie Interstellar? It would probably look something like this NASA visualization. This simulated black hole is surrounded by accumulated matter being pulled toward it, and the particles are in a thin accretion disk, where the swirling pace nears the speed
This striking black and white image was captured by Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (Photo: Nasa) We don’t know whether alien life ever existed on Mars. But we know there’s some pretty strange stuff on the Red Planet regardless of whether extraterrestrial organisms ever lived there. Now Nasa has spotted a gigantic and very unusual natural

The Orion crew capsule meant for NASA’s uncrewed Artemis 1 mission around the moon and back is being prepared for its flight. (NASA Photo / Radislav Sinyak) NASA says it’s ordering three more Orion spacecraft for missions to the moon, at a cost of $2.7 billion — and plans to order as many as nine

The Hubble Space Telescope took a close-up view of Messier 110, a neighboring galaxy that is home to a population of young, blue stars. (Photo Credit: ESA / Hubble & NASA, L. Ferrarese et al.) Messier 110, a neighboring galaxy of the Milky Way, may not look as dazzling as other celestial sights, but the

Once upon a time (700 million years ago), in a faraway land (the Solar System), there may have existed a temperate planet hosting liquid water. A new study by the Goddard Institute for Space Science (GISS) highlights Venus’s climatic history—and its implications for habitability on exoplanets in similar orbits. Four decades ago, NASA’s Pioneer Venus
NASA’s Mars 2020 rover recently entered its final year of engineering before it is launched on its journey to the red planet, and it has been subjected to a battery of tests to ensure it’s ready to touch down. The latest test was a spin on a rotating table to check its weight distribution. In

The MeerKAT telescope array was used to discover the massive structures Astronomers have discovered a pair of huge and mysterious mega-bubbles at the core of humanity’s home galaxy. The hourglass-shaped structures are among the largest features ever discovered in the Milky Way. They are believed to have been formed by a ‘phenomenally energetic burst that

The strange blob is visible in the centre of this image (Picture: Nasa) Nasa has glimpsed a ‘green blob’ in the middle of a strange part of space called the Fireworks Galaxy. The ‘pops of blue and green’ in the image above are actually bright bursts of invisible X-ray light captured by the NuSTAR space
