On November 28, we celebrate Red Planet Day. Red Planet Day is not just a celebration of Mars; it’s also a reminder for us to keep exploring this fascinating planet. Mars is often called the "Red Planet" due to its reddish color.

Explore why space appears dark despite the countless stars in the universe. Learn about the inverse square law of light and the vast distances between stars that cause the darkness of space.

Join us on an awe-inspiring journey through the cosmos. Explore the wonders of space, from distant galaxies to the mysteries of our own solar system. Discover the latest in astronomical research and space exploration.

This post was shared a few days ago by NASA, since then this post has gained more than four lakh likes. Instagram users are in awe of this picture. 

Numerous cultures hold the belief that eclipses carry negative energy and can potentially exert unfavorable influences on human existence, with a specific focus on pregnant women and their unborn child. Know all here.

On August 30th, a rare celestial trifecta is occurring with a Full Moon, Supermoon, and Blue Moon all coinciding. This means that the Moon will be exceptionally close to Earth, appearing about 7% larger than an average Full Moon.

Scientists at the Royal Astronomical Society have made a groundbreaking discovery A supermassive black hole in the PBC J2333.9-2343 galaxy has changed its direction The discovery was made after researchers reclassified the galaxy

On July 29, the Earth broke its record for the shortest day as it completed a full spin in 1.59 milliseconds less than its standard 24-hour rotation.

A rare 'seasonal full moon' will be visible in the night sky over this weekend. You can check the moon rise time for your city to be sure to not miss this rare astronomical event.

A month after 2021's first total Lunar Eclipse there is another celestial event that is set to occur — the Strawberry Moon. It will appear from June 25 midnight, around 12:09 AM and can be seen for three days, till early Saturday morning.

By calculating the age of the stars, the researchers were able to determine, for the first time, that the stars captured from Gaia-Enceladus have similar or slightly younger ages compared to the majority of stars that were born inside the Milky Way.

Astronomers recently discovered a colossal galaxy which was formed just 1.5 billion years after the Bing Bang, challenging the accepted theories of 'how all galaxies in the universe may have formed'.

Radio detection of exoplanets aims at the physical characterization of exoplanets and comparative studies with solar system planets.

The century's longest Lunar Eclipse or Purna Chandra Grahan will be witnessed by the world shortly. 

Young space enthusiasts may have to hope for clear skies to be able to view the breathtaking phenomenon.  

The astronomers spotted the new moons when they were looking for objects on the fringes of the solar system. 

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US made the detection on January 4 this year, demonstrating that a new window in astronomy has been firmly opened.

Mr Kulkarni, who is a professor of astrophysics and planetary science at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, built the Palomar Transient Factory, with which he conducted a large-area survey of the night sky in search of variable and transient phenomena.

The study that was published in the journal “Astronomy and Astrophysics” suggest that this new discovery can provide clues to researchers about how planetary systems evolve over time.
