‘Oumuamua asteroid may really be alien technology; it accelerates under its own power
In 2017, astronomers discovered a strange object that entered and then left the solar system. They called it ‘Oumuamua, and it is the first-ever interstellar object identified by scientists. The leading theory for what ‘Oumuaua is suggests that it’s a hydrogen comet. But there are key problems to this theory. For one, a hydrogen comet would have fallen […]

The Sun once had a companion star, study suggests
The Sun was likely paired with another star, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. This star has the same mass as the Sun and was born out of the same cloud of dust. It was separated from the Sun after being pulled by passing stars and could be anywhere in the Milky Way. Researchers from Harvard University explained […]

Space-time ripples could help scientists uncover exoplanets from other galaxies
Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. These waves […]

Breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial life as scientists discovered stars could host as many as 7 habitable planets
A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This factor could […]

Data from NASA Juno probe reveals Jupiter absorbed a protoplanet 10 times Earth’s mass, shattering the gas giant’s core 4.5 billion years ago
Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, may have once collided with another planet in the distant past. According to a recent study, published in Nature by scientists from Rice University and Sun Yat-sen University, this may explain the gas giant’s unique core. Most of Jupiter’s mass is comprised of hydrogen and helium. What makes Jupiter unique, compared with the […]

Researchers spot 2 new Earth-like planets orbiting a tiny star located about 12.5 light-years from our Solar System
Astronomers believe that they have found two new Earth-like exoplanets situated within their host star’s habitable zone, or the area around a star that can support the existence of liquid water. These are the conclusions of the scientists who have been observing the star known as Teegarden’s Star, an ultra-cool dwarf that sits just 12.5 light-years […]

Traces of ammonia in reddish ice on Pluto suggest volcanoes spew liquid WATER instead of lava
As the farthest planet in the solar system, Pluto has always been filled with mysteries. A recent study revealed that the icy planet may contain ammonia and water, the presence of which indicates the potential existence of life. Researchers from various institutions in the US found traces of ammonia in the reddish ice caps of […]

Liquid water on Pluto? Gases trapped in a layer of ice could be what keeps an underground ocean from freezing, report researchers
Scientists believe that a layer of gassy material on Pluto’s surface is stopping an ocean underneath it from freezing over. New models of Pluto’s evolution suggest that this gassy layer is helping to insulate this body of water. If their calculations are correct, this means that these gases, if present in other planets, can potentially harbor life-supporting bodies […]

Not all Earth-sized planets are habitable: Study says those around younger stars have “no hope of sustaining life”
Planet hunters looking for habitable planets outside the solar system may save themselves time by ignoring younger stars. A European study has indicated that exoplanets around these stars are unlikely to sustain life because their hosts would have burned away their atmospheres. If true, it would be a shame. The latest searches for exoplanets showed […]

Earth could have been a hostile ocean planet if not for ancient supernova
Shortly after the birth of the sun, a nearby star came to a thermonuclear end. The stellar funeral pyre bathed the young solar system with large amounts of radioactive metals. Swiss researchers suggest that the heat from aluminum isotopes from this supernova evaporated the excess amounts of water on the young Earth, thereby keeping it from transforming into a lifeless, […]
