Catastrophic Collapse Of Universe Is Imminent, Physicists Say
March 29, 2015 | Editors
Our universe has been in existence for nearly 14 billion years and science has led us to believe it will keep existing for many billions more. So, will the universe expand forever, or will it one day collapse under the influence of its own gravity? Read More
Colliding Galaxy Clusters May Shed New Light on Dark Matter
March 27, 2015 | Editors
Dark matter is one of science’s great mysteries. It makes up an enormous amount matter in the universe, it is invisible, and it does not correspond to anything in the realm of our experience. Different theories compete for an explanation, but so far none of them has prevailed. Read More
Black Hole (Infographic)
March 26, 2015 | Editors
Don’t let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area – think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Read More
Supermassive Black Hole Blows Away Its Own Galaxy’s Star-Making Gas
March 26, 2015 | Editors
Astronomers have obtained direct observational evidence for the first time of a supermassive black hole, at the center of a large galaxy, powering huge molecular outflows from deep inside the galaxy’s core removing massive quantities of star-making gas thereby influencing the size, shape and overall fate of the host galaxy.

Life On Mars? NASA’ Curiosity Rover Finds Traces Of Nitrates On Mars
March 26, 2015 | Editors
Scientists for a long time were fairly certain that at one point in the universe’s history, Mars was host to forms of life, but that theory might have just been confirmed by NASA’ rover. Curiosity rover tasked with surveying the Red Planet has come up with surprising results when gathering samples from the soil and the environment of Mars. Read More

Scientists are Trying to Prove Existence of Parallel Universes With CERN’s LHC
March 25, 2015 | Editors
After two years undergoing upgrades, the CERN Large Hadron Collider is gearing up for a new round of experiments, and things could get interesting this time. If scientists detect miniature black holes when using the Large Hadron Collider it could prove the existence of parallel universes and possibly disprove the Big Bang theory. Read More
How Big is the Universe?
March 24, 2015 | Editors
This #Infographic puts in to perspective just how big the universe is. From the city you live in, to the state, country, continent, planet, solar system, galaxy etc. Visualizing the universe and its visible area puts in to perspective just how small we are. With the help of Hubble space images, and advanced high definition cameras from NASA, we are able to see the universe how we never could in the past. Read More
Huge Explosion in the Sky Spotted In 1670 Was Actually Rare Stellar Collision
March 24, 2015 | Editors
Some of seventeenth century’s greatest astronomers, including Hevelius — the father of lunar cartography — and Cassini, carefully documented the appearance of a new star in the skies in 1670. Hevelius described it as nova sub capite Cygni — a new star below the head of the Swan. Read More
Once-Wild Jupiter could have Destroyed Super Earths in Our Solar System
March 24, 2015 | Editors 1
As astronomers have gained the ability gaze at far-off exoplanets, they have started to realize our solar system is more unique than they could have imagined. Many other alien’ systems have ‘super-Earths’ and other planets in tight orbits close to their star, but ours does not. And now we might know why. Read More
