Scientists observing a distant galaxy are currently trying to find an explanation as to why some black holes are not surrounded by stars. One theory that they came up with is that this may have been caused by two or more galaxies colliding into one another. 100 New Alien Planets Discovered by NASA Kepler Mission
The revived Kepler space mission has helped NASA identify 100 new alien planets. Aside from these, the spacecraft was also able to monitor over 200 more that are currently awaiting confirmation. NASA Scientists Watch as Black Hole ‘Burps’ Out Gases in Nearby Galaxy
Scientists from NASA were able to witness how a black hole from a different galaxy burped out waves of gases after ingesting nearby matter. According to them, this strange phenomenon could provide important clues regarding the formation of stars, Scientists Warn Giant Comets from Jupiter Threaten Earth
A new study conducted by astronomers is urging space agencies to monitor cosmic objects near other planets in the solar system due to Earth's risk of getting hit by giant comets. According to them, our planet could experience showers of debris from comets that can last up to 100,000 years. Next Mars Discovery Mission with InSight Lander Delayed by NASA
NASA was forced to delay its next mission to Mars due to an ongoing problem with one of the key components of the InSight lander. Although 2018 has been targeted as the new launch period, there's still a chance that the space agency might cancel the mission, which is still part of its Discovery Prog… Black Holes can Grow as Big as 50 Billion Suns According to New Study
A professor from the University of Leicester claimed in a new scientific study that black holes are capable of growing 50 billion times the mass of the sun. According to the author of the study, this is possible as long as the disk feeding the black hole continues to orbit around it. Scientists Baffled by the Weakening Geysers of Saturn’s Enceladus Moon
Scientists are still trying to find out the cause behind the weakening geysers on the surface of Enceladus, which is one of Saturn's 62 known moons. This issue is a growing concern for the scientific community since the natural satellite's geysers are currently scientists' only means to study the mo… Scientists Discover Wolf 1061c, the Nearest Habitable Exoplanet to Earth
Scientists have recently discovered an alien planet that has the potential to host life. According to scientists from Australia's University of New South Wales, the world orbiting the red deaf star Wolf 1061, is the closest exoplanet to Earth that could be habitable. Scientists Solve Mystery of Missing Water in Hot Exoplanets
Scientists have finally solved the mystery as to why some exoplanets appear to have insufficient water. Through a combined project by the NASA and the ESA, they were able to discover that these planets' bodies of water were simply hidden behind cosmic clouds. Mars Could Soon Have Rings According to Scientists
Scientists predicted that someday, Mars could have rings around it just like Saturn. This could happen after the Red Planet's natural satellite Phobos completely breaks apart. Science News: Scientists Observing Birth of Possibly Three New Planets
