Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have observed five extremely dense proto-globular clusters along a hair-thin arc of glittering stars. The discovery could help them understand how the earliest galaxies formed.

NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above the Earth but, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that aliens are about to strike.Using an imaging instrument called the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts uncovered strange X and C shapes, which have been cropping up in surprising places at surprising times.The researchers found the structures dancing around the ionosphere – the area where Earth’s atmosphere meets space – and say that the discovery could help improve radio communications and space weather forecasts.The ionosphere – which sits around 50 to 400 miles (roughly 80 to 644 kilometres)...

NASA scientists discover strange structures hovering above Earth

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.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - NASA released on Friday a pair of images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope showing two galaxies - one nicknamed the Penguin and the other the Egg - in the process of merging in sort of a cosmic ballet as the U.S. space agency marked two years since it unveiled the orbiting observatory's first scientific results.

A man tragically met his end by being boiled alive and subsequently dissolved in a hot spring, while his sister captured the horrifying incident on film. Colin Scott, 23, slipped and fell into the blistering waters near Porkchop Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, where he was cooked alive before the highly acidic waters dissolved his body. Official police documents released after Colin's death back in 2016 revealed that he and his sister, Sable, had ventured into a restricted area in search of a spot for an illicit swim.

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have determined that an exoplanet dubbed LHS 1140 b may be an icy water world that could potentially harbor an Earth-like atmosphere and even support life. The planet, which was previously believed to be a mini-Neptune, meaning a gas dwarf that...

A mountain-sized asteroid nicknamed the “planet killer” will make its closest approach to Earth in over a century on Thursday.The asteroid, officially known as Asteroid (415029) 2011 UL21, will pass by Earth just after 9pm BST (4pm ET) on 27 June, travelling at nearly 26 kilometres per second.Nasa has classified the rock as a “potentially hazardous asteroid”, though it poses no danger to Earth for at least the next thousand years. According to the open-source project Space Reference, the asteroid is “comparable in size to Mount Everest” and will make a much closer approach in 2089.A free live stream of...

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

3 Zodiac Signs That Don’t Apologize

One of the most sought-after objects in the Universe has just been detected right here in the Milky Way galaxy.
At the center of a tightly packed, spherical cluster of stars named Omega Centauri around 17,000 light-years away, astronomers have found evidence of an intermediate-mass  black hole, tipping the cosmic scales at a mass equivalent to at least 8,200 Suns.

We think of galaxies as ancient. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, formed 13.6 billion years ago, and the James Webb Space Telescope has allowed us to peer back to some of the first galaxies in the early universe. But are galaxies still being born today?

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.

Supplies of dissolved oxygen in bodies of water across the globe are dwindling rapidly, and scientists say it's one of the greatest risks to Earth's life support system. Just as atmospheric oxygen is vital for animals like ourselves, dissolved oxygen (DO) in water is essential for healthy aquatic ecosystems, whether freshwater or marine. With billions of people relying on marine and freshwater habitats for food and income, it's concerning these ecosystems' oxygen has been substantially and rapidly declining.

A group of international researchers at the in Germany recently discovered one of the rarest types of black holes in the universe. The researchers were observing a cluster of stars in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole named Sagittarius A (Sgr A) at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. They then discovered signs of an intermediate-mass black hole, a type of black hole that’s sometimes referred to as the “missing link” of black holes, according to .
