Astronomy

Are we alone? This question is nearly as old as humanity itself. Today, this question in astronomy focuses on finding life beyond our planet. Are we, as a species, and as a planet, alone? Or is there life somewhere else?

To help combat the effects of global warming, scientists have proposed an innovative idea to shield Earth from the sun with a spaceborne "umbrella" of sorts.

The study said just over a billion years after the Big Bang, time appeared to flow five times slower.

The discovery is based on an analysis of the data captured by South African Radio Astronomy Observatory's MeerKAT radio telescope.

The planet is located 731 light years distant from Earth and revolves around its star every 7.24 days.

India was a knowledge society since Vedic times involving Maths, medicine, metaphysics, astronomy, etc in Sanskrit, but all such learning came back to the country several thousand years later as "discoveries by Western scientists," ISRO chairman said

Indicating the existence of a neighbouring planet, astronomers noticed a kink in the velocity of the star HIP-99770.

From Vedic concepts of astronomy to plastic surgery, Ayurveda to Yoga, higher education students will be encouraged to take courses on Indian Knowledge System as part of their academic curriculum, according to the University Grants Commission.

Astronomy could be hindered by the rising number of satellites and space debris in orbit around Earth, reflect increasing amounts of sunlight towards the night side of the planet. Here's how satellites and space debris may increase the overall brightness of the night sky, hiding stars and impacting astronomy.

The Milky Way has been producing stars at a rate that is 2-4 times higher than previously thought.

The small distant world called Quaoar, named after a god of creation in Native American mythology, is producing some surprises for astronomers as it orbits beyond Pluto in the frigid outer reaches of our solar system.

A potentially habitable planet with a mass similar to Earth's has been found by scientists outside of our solar system.

In a milestone in development of space astronomy in India, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics has built the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph, the largest payload that would fly on Aditya L1, the country's first dedicated mission to study the Sun.

An incredibly bright flash that appeared in the night sky in February came from a black hole pointing straight at Earth, astronomers have said.
