Physicists at University of Florida studied a 40-mile-wide black hole, named V404 Cygni. The magnetic strength around the black hole is 400 times lower than what we previously thought. They measured a precise 461 ± 12 gauss...
NASA is planning to infuse AI into space communication networks. It uses Cognitive Radio to employ underutilized parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. SCaN Testbed provides tools and resources to test Cognitive Radio in space...
Since the emergence of the Hubble Space telescope, we have discovered many distant galaxies, thousands of exoplanets and even peeked in our past, but one thing that astronomers are still not sure about is how many stars actually are there in the...
If you want to know more about the Sun, you are at the right place. You probably know that the Sun is ultimately the reason why we still have life on Earth. Without the Sun, not only humans, but other living organisms cannot survive. Lying at the...

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is set to launch its second lunar probe in March 2018. The unmanned mission, codenamed Chandrayaan 2, includes a lunar orbiter, lander and rover, all built by ISRO. It will be launched to the Moon on a GSLV...
A solar eclipse happens when the Sun, Moon and the Earth align almost perfectly with each other i.e, the Moon moves in between the Sun and Earth. Any beginner to solar eclipse would think that how a much smaller object like the moon could hide a...
Our solar system only has one star, the Sun and it’s massive. With an estimated diameter of 1,391,980 km, it’s more than 10 times larger than the planet Jupiter and 109 times than our own planet, Earth. But how does it fare among the...
For space lovers like myself, there is almost nothing as fascinating as the idea of getting to know new things about the universe. Five years ago, I didn’t have the amount of enthusiasm about the space and activities that I have right now and...
The modern astronomy has gifted us with the great pleasure of knowing our far-off planetary neighbors with more details than ever before. Whether it’s Jupiter’s intimidating Great Red Spot or Saturn’s mesmerizing planetary rings...
According to the Roman mythology, Jupiter is the king of gods, after which Jupiter is named. If you put that in the context of the planetary setting in our solar system, this name is fully justified as this giant gas planet is the biggest planet in...
It’s actually not a long time ago that we started the journey of Space exploration with modern techniques and advanced technology. We invented the Hubble Space Telescope, sent satellites and probes to the outer reaches of the space to discover...
