But if you went to Venus, that wouldn’t be the case. Not every planet has a moon – so why do some planets have several moons, while others have none?

James Webb Space Telescope captures galaxies merging

In the vast expanse of our universe, new mysteries arise daily. Just when we think we understand the galaxies, a unique element or phenomenon emerges. Scientists are always on the chase to unravel these enigmas, and recently, yet another mysterious object has captured their interest. At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, astronomers have identified an unusual object that defies the definition of any known celestial body, according to a study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The Sun is the center of the universe, and all planets revolve around it, right? Well, not exactly. When people think of the solar system, they usually picture the Sun at the center with Earth and the other planets orbiting it. However, the reality is more complex, reports IFLScience. Surprisingly, even the moon doesn't orbit the Earth. So, what really goes on in our solar system?

Turns out the Earth and other planets technically don't always orbit around the Sun's center

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

Scientists have for the first time discovered a cave on the Moon. At least 100m deep, it could be an ideal place for humans to build a permanent base, they say. It is just one in probably hundreds of caves hidden in an “underground, undiscovered world”, according to the researchers.

Wherever massive stars form, black holes inevitably arise, ranging from a few solar masses up to 100 solar masses or even a little bit greater. At the cores of galaxies, supermassive black holes abound, with masses ranging from several hundred thousand to many billions of times the mass of our Sun. However, intermediate mass black holes have long remained elusive. A new discovery claims a black hole of 8200 solar masses at the center of globular cluster Omega Centauri, changing the game forever.
