The National Science Bee is a buzzer-based science competition for individual students, with questions ranging from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, Astronomy, Mathematics, and other scientific fields.

Astrophysicists say that the newly observed phenomena will allow them to better understand the formation of binary star systems and how often they merge, something that has never been measured before.

An astrophotographer captured the ‘difficult shot’ of the Moon, International Space Station and overpowering sunbeam from his ‘backyard’

Indian Institute of Technology, (IIT) Indore has started admissions to its new MTech programmes including Electric Vehicle Technology, space engineering and MS (Research) Program in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering.

Scientists in France have for the first time seen the incandescent filaments of hydrogen gas known as the "cosmic web”. Eight months of observation with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and a year of data crunching revealed the filaments as they existed only one to two billion years after the Big Bang.

The Navonmesh Prasar Student Astronomy Team (NaPSAT), comprising 10 school students, has been selected to participate in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge 2021 scheduled in April.

Ten students from Navonmesh Prasar Student Astronomy Team (NaPSAT) have been selected for NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge 2021 to be held in the month of April.

AstroSat, India's first multi-wavelength satellite, has detected an extreme ultraviolet (UV) light from a galaxy which is 9.3 billion light-years away from Earth, the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) said on Monday.

Sushant Singh Rajput's website is called "Self Musing". "Fans like you were real 'godfather' for Sushant," wrote his team

"We are deeply saddened by the dramatic news on the death of well-known Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput," tweeted ISU on Monday

US-based astrophysicist and scientist Dr Karan Jani has introduced fans to a little-known side of Sushant Singh Rajput. He was an astronomy enthusiast and an avid reader, Dr Jani wrote in a moving tribute to the actor who was found dead at his Mumbai residence on Sunday.

Elon Musk on Monday dismissed scientists' concerns that his company's Starlink constellation of internet satellites would obscure the view of the night sky, predicting the network "will not cause any impact whatsoever in astronomical discoveries."

A recent study has found out that our fundamental measurement of the whole universe could have been wrong all this while. It says that whatever we knew about the chemical measurement of stars could be wrong.

University of British Columbia (UBC) Astronomy Student Michelle Kunimoto has discovered 17 new planets, including a potentially habitable, Earth-sized world, by combing through data gathered by NASA's Kepler mission.

NASA's Juno mission has provided its first science results on the amount of water in Jupiter's atmosphere. Published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, the Juno results estimate that at the equator, water makes up about 0.25 per cent of the molecules in Jupiter's atmosphere - almost three times that of the Sun.
