See a Wafer-Thin Crescent Moon Leapfrog Jupiter in the Post-Sunset Sky This Week
Skywatchers can catch a fleeting celestial display as a wafer-thin crescent moon appears near Jupiter in the western sky on April 29 and 30. The moon will leap to Jupiter’s upper right by April 30 evening, with just over five degrees separating the two. Earthshine and nearby stars add to this picturesque twilight event visible shortly after sunse...

Lyrid Meteor Shower 2025 to Fill the Night Sky Soon: Know When to Watch
The spectacular and glittery meteor Lyrid can be observed with the naked eye. The scientists reported a familiar incident that happened around 2700 years ago. You can see the meteors up to 15 to 20 meters streaking the sky. Watch this breathtaking view in the rural region where park, beach or mountain trails.

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Helps Confirm the First Solitary Black Hole
In the Sagittarius constellation, a lone and first-ever solitary black hole has been discovered by a team of scientists. Although the discovery began in the year 2011, the observations have confirmed it recently. The size of this black hole is as massive as seven times of the sun. Despite the conflicts and differences of observations by another tea...

T Corona Borealis May Erupt Soon: Rare Nova Could Be Visible to Naked Eye
T Corona Borealis, a binary star system in the Northern Crown constellation, is showing signs of an imminent nova eruption. The white dwarf star, which pulls material from its red giant companion, last erupted in 1946. Astronomers have detected patterns similar to previous eruptions, leading to predictions of a possible outburst within the next two...

Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals a Stunning Einstein Ring in Hydrus
A striking new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals an Einstein ring in the Hydrus constellation. The phenomenon occurs when a massive foreground galaxy bends light from a hidden background galaxy, forming a near-perfect ring. This effect, predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, helps astronomers study galaxies from the...

Rocket Lab Deploys Eight Satellites to Boost Global Wildfire Monitoring
Rocket Lab successfully launched eight satellites into orbit for OroraTech on March 26. The mission, "Finding Hot Wildfires Near You," aims to improve real-time wildfire detection through thermal infrared imaging. The satellites will join OroraTech’s existing network, operating at a 97-degree inclination, 550 km above Earth. CEO Martin Langer hig...

Rocket Lab Launches Final Five Satellites for Kinéis' IoT Constellation
Rocket Lab has successfully launched the last five satellites for Kinéis' "Internet of Things" constellation. The mission, called "High Five," took off on March 17 from the company's New Zealand site. The Electron rocket deployed the satellites into a 404-mile orbit, completing the 25-satellite network. This system enhances global connectivity by ...
