NASA Astronaut Captures Stunning 'Sprite' Light Show Above Earth's Atmosphere
Sprites are a type of TLE, which create brilliant flashes of light high above powerful thunderstorms and are difficult to observe from the ground.

New Study Uncovers Shadowy Origins of Universe’s Most Luminous Phenomena
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha...

NASA's Dual Rocket Launch to Uncover Mysteries of Alaska's Auroras
NASA is set to launch two rockets from the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska, aiming to study the aurora borealis. The missions will focus on flickering auroras and the mysterious dark patches known as "black auroras." Led by Marilia Samara and Robert Michell, the rockets will collect data on auroral behaviour and electron movement. Precision tim...

Watch: California Coast Illuminated By Glowing Blue Waves
The science behind these luminous waves traces back to microscopic plankton called dinoflagellates, single-celled organisms that emit light when agitated.

Jubilee Review: A Celebration, Homage And Lament Rolled Into One
Jubilee Review: Prosenjit Chatterjee is poise personified as a conflicted but resolute movie mogul. Aditi Rao Hydari is luminous, lighting up the sepia-toned frames with her presence.

NASA Shares Stunning Rare Image of Two Quasars Merging Together
NASA has shared an image that shows two stunningly luminous centres of light surrounded by what appears to be waves of gases let loose in the sky. NASA said the two lights are recently discovered quasars that appear to be merging into a single object.

Gamma Ray Emission, Trillion Times More Energetic Than Light, Observed
In a cosmic first, researchers have observed the most powerful and luminous yet known energy release -- a trillion times more energetic than visible light -- in the brightest type of electromagnetic events known to occur in the universe called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

Most Distant Star Ever Detected Sits Halfway Across The Universe
Researchers said on Monday they used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to spot the star, which is up to a million times more luminous and about twice as hot as our sun, residing 9.3 billion lights years away from Earth. It is a type of star called a blue supergiant.

These Creatures Use Glowing Vomit To Attract Mates - And It's Utterly Beautiful
In the dense darkness of midnight in the Caribbean, the displays look like strings of tiny, glowing pearls. Some light up in zigzag patterns, others appear in a horizontal trail or streak upward toward the surface. The luminous beads linger for a few seconds, then fade to black, like bashful underwater ghosts.
