Astronomers have been discovering an increasing number of rocky exoplanets, worlds similar in size to Earth. This month (December 15, 2022), an international team of astronomers said it has found two more worlds in our own neighborhood of the galaxy. These worlds are less than 16 light-years away, very close, relatively speaking! And they’re in the habitable zone of their star, the zone…

There are two specific galaxies worth gazing at in the Virgo constellation: the Sombrero Hat galaxy (M104) and M87, which has a jagged shaft of light jutting out of it, and both are mysterious in their own way. The true mystery of Virgo, however, is located farther away. Our local group, which includes the Milky…

Imagine an engine that needs no propellant. It sounds impossible, and it most likely is. That’s not stopping one NASA engineer from testing theories around the EmDrive — a conceptual “helical” engine that could defy the laws of physics and create forward thrust without fuel. Such a creation would allow us to travel the far…

Blackholes are oпe of the most mysterioυs cosmic objects that have marveled oυr scieпtists siпce we learпed aboυt their existeпce.
