Scientists think that the Moon may have been formed by the collision between an object and the Earth, the object is considered to be similar to that of the Earth. This has opened up new possibilities for new theories on the formation of the Moon. The study is one of

The LHC was not operational for the last 2 years and has started for the first time since 2013. The collisions will not start for another month but the protons are now circling around the 27k long machine in both directions. Researchers are hopeful to discover new phases of physics

A latest discovery by Astronomers has spurred excitement in the scientific community. A key stage of birth of a star has been witnessed by using radio telescopes. This process in overall took 18 years. The star is 4,200 light years from our solar system and is surrounded by a cloud

It was thought previously that planets with 4 suns were impossible but the new study suggests that it is very common. Researchers have spotted 4 suns in 30Ari, there were many 2 star exoplanets discovered before. Stars are in myriad forms and there can single, binary, triple and quintuple star

A new study says that the dark surface of Mercury is because of passing comets which produces dusting of carbon. The surface of Mercury is low in iron that is one of the reasons why the planet does not reflect light efficiently. Researchers first made a model on how much

Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and US astronaut Scott Kelly are getting ready for the 12 month long duty on the international space station. This will be the longest stay in space ever attempted; this will be a challenge for the 2 daredevils while they will be on board the 400km

Many scientists think that there is a chance that Pluto might bounce back in the “planet arena” this year. Pluto may get the good news by the end of this year and now the SETI institute has even better news for all Pluto fans: The most renowned features of Pluto

Nasa’s Curiosity rover discovered nitrogen in the surface of Mars. The rover’s internal lab detected oxidized nitrogen while it was analyzing rock and dust. Scientists believe that the nitrogen was released during the heating of the powders and the breakdown of nitrates. Researchers are saying that if the source of

The large Hadron Collider is facing a delay after the team spotted a short circuit within its large electromagnets. The LHC was supposed to start colliding protons together at higher velocities but the LHC is now facing a delay of several weeks, The LHC already took a break of two

The Hubble space telescope has discovered that there is a salty ocean beneath the Surface of Ganymede – the largest moon of Jupiter. Called the ocean of Ganymede, the ocean is said to be saltier than that of earth. There is a thick crust of ice above the ocean and
