Astronomers Observe a Massive Star Releasing Cosmic Bubbles
Scientific Asia: 180 light-years away, on the surface of the massive star R. Doradus, astronomers can observe boiling plasma. Boiling processes on the red giant star R. Doradus have produced enormous bubbles that are 75 times larger than the Sun. However, the speed at which the bubbles “pop” is what astronomers found fascinating—not the magnitude…
Historical Finding: NASA Discovers the Closest Supermassive Black Hole Pair As Twin Titans Collide
Two Galaxies’ Cores Are Heading Toward Collision Stars flying through space essentially never collide with one another. A star-like sun’s diameter and its distance from the next star in proximity are roughly 1:10 million. However, galaxies do collide. The distance of 2.2 million light-years separates our galaxy from the nearby Andromeda galaxy. That is merely…
Astronomy Information: Everything from the Ground Up
Everything we witness in the sky today would have been unknown if astronomy hadn’t existed. It is one of the oldest disciplines of science, making it possible for astronomers to understand the nature of space and beyond. Despite the progress in today’s highly technological world, astronomers are still in question about thousands of discoveries in…
Exploring the Universe – The History and the Latest Discoveries in Astronomy
