Humanity is currently struggling against the novel Coronavirus. However, the world's various space agencies are afraid of the other possible threats, such as asteroid...

Understanding the origin of ‘Be X-ray’ binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries that consist of a Be star and a neutron star, orbiting around a rapidly...

A novel cosmological model to study thermodynamics on the horizon of the universe

Thermodynamics on the horizon of a flat universe at late times is studied in holographic cosmological models that assume an associated entropy on the...

Scientists found one more secret about Uranus

Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, to study the outer planets within the Solar System. One of...

Astronomers investigated a luminous supernova remnant (SNR) W49B

Studying Supernova Remnants is essential to better comprehend their role in the evolution of galaxies, dispersing the heavy elements made in the supernova explosion...

Astronomers captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds

Interstellar gas clouds are challenging to observe in visible light, but they emit strong radio wavelengths. But, Thanks to Nobeyama 45-m Radio Telescope in...

Astronomers witnessed most energetic outflows ever in the universe

Using the unique capabilities of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers observed most energetic outflows ever releasing from quasars and tear across interstellar space like...
