You might be wondering how could there be an edge to the universe if it’s infinite. This question has been asked lots of time and people come up with several answers. One of those answer is: We can never know and test it so it’s not even scientif…
Earth’s been hiding a little secret from its partner, the moon. Turns out the Earth has had a “mini-moon” on the side for over a century, and even though the relationship has been exposed, the partnership is likely to continue for centuries to come. …
In February 2016, Japan launched a pioneering black-hole-monitoring satellite but after the successful launch they lost its control under strange circumstances. Now, we can finally witness what Hitomi saw right before it went offline. When Hitomi…
Math lovers have recently revealed something odd happening with the number 998,001. When divided 1 by 998,001, the resultant decimal number will give you nearly every three digit number. Learn more in the video below:

The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope is quickly making good on its promise. The Netherlands-based array picks up low radio frequencies, including the traces of radiation that form when galaxies merge. Now, an international team of scientists h…
A recent study published by two Canadian astronomers, claims an anomaly in the pulsing of a collection of stars is probably proof of an alien civilization. There can be several other explanations for this signal but the researchers really do consid…
We hear a lot about Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and that’s because we have extremely fancy hardware floating around and, in some cases, cruising on the surface of those planets. The planets that lie further away from the Sun don’t get nearly as much…
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy won’t collide for next 4 billion years. But but a recent discovery of a massive halo of hot gas close to Andromeda Galaxy may mean that our galaxies are already touching. Astrophysicist Nicholas Lehner from …
