The competition to built the world’s first ‘next generation’ telescope is on. Astronomers around the globe have convened to participate in the development of the new facilities, aspiring to observe time on the telescopes as they complete with their...
Are we alone in this Universe? This is the most fundamental question of space science. Not only scientists, common people also show significant excitement towards the existence of intelligent species in another planet, just like us. Scientists deploy...
GTC or the Gran Telescopio Canarias is the world’s largest telescope that has been under construction for seven years. Till now the telescope is not fully complete, but complete enough to look into the Universe for the first time.
The...
Year 2007 has begun with the announcement regarding a rocky planet close to star which aids probably in support of life. But, possibilities were proved wrong as Gliese 581c cannot support life, as it is to hot for supporting liquid. But, it is...
Astronomers always kept trying to create a bigger and powerful telescope. But, you would be astonished to know that one of the most powerful telescopes positioned in the huge stars usually become black holes whereas small stars are converted into white...
Here’s a step ahead in the field where Scientists hope to see into the far-distant past of the universe as the Mexicans threw the switch-on Wednesday to a massive telescope atop Mexico's 5th-highest mountain that detects electromagnetic radiation...
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer -- NASA's astronomy satellite is back in full operation. After a near-death experience in December 2004, its aging onboard software control system has been rejuvenated and its mission extended by enterprising...
To be successful in an oblivion venture all that is needed is not only painstaking calculations and a really big telescope – but, bolstered optimism. Then how can one measure something he can't see or feel!? That is what a researcher at Cambridge...
ET, a telescope turbo-charger has found its first planet outside the solar system. Astronomers have described it as if it is a suitcase in space tracking possible faraway Earths. To find a world like ours that orbits a different star, these two small,...

Plasma is found spewing from the poles of newborn stars moves in clumps that travel at different speeds. The resulting "traffic jams" create massive shock waves that travel trillions of miles, when fast-moving particles run into slower material on...
Astronomy and Space Exploration is considered to be the buzz word for beginning with an astronomy class in schools and colleges. Gallatin High School is introducing the first of its kind above the roof. Physics teacher Allen Robnett and his students...
Scientists claim that the Crab Nebula is one of the most intricately structured and dynamic objects ever observed. The new Hubble image of the Crab was assembled from 24 individual exposures. The image was taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space...
