NASA probes find surprises at the edge of the Solar System.
Nearly 2,000 planets have been found beyond our solar system, and some of them are quite strange. Space.com has images of the strangest alien planets discovered so far.
For the second time in history, a human-made object has reached the space between the stars. NASA’s Voyager 2 probe now has exited the heliosphere – the

Study finds that if two black holes collide, they would release as much energy as 100 million supernova explosion. It is not the first time scientists are viewing galaxies combining, I mean there are billions of galaxies in our ever expanding universe, but they haven’t seen the end stage of colliding galaxies. The end stage results to the black holes in the center of each universe smash into each other, releasing some pretty violent cosmic fireworks that could wrap space time itself. The theory which was published in journal nature by researchers including scientists from Caltech and NASA’s jet propulsion Lab, suggests that an unusual light signal they are seeing from PG 1302-102, essentially a black hole emitting light from the super-heated particles swirling around its gravitational drain --- is being caused by cosmic dance between black holes in the system, each located less than the length of our solar system apart. When you look at the emission lines in a spectrum from an object, what you are really seeing is the information about the speed, whether something is moving toward you or away and how fast. It’s the Doppler Effect. If the theory is correct, study co-author George Djorgovski of California institute told the New York Times that when two black holes collide, they would release the energy equivalent to 100 million supernova explosion, which would rip apart the galaxy in which they are floating. The collision would also release gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of space time predicted be Einstein theory of general relativity. It is so unfortunate for astronomers who are hoping to witness such an event are out of luck, as predicted union won’t take place for about another million years, which is super long for human standards. The universe already knows whether the theory is correct because the light we are seeing from this system, located in the Virgo constellation, comes from 3.5 billion light years away, meaning what we are seeing right know took place billions of years ago. Until someday we will learn to travel through time, not going to our past or future, I mean travelling through space time, wrapping space time continuum,. We will continue to wait and see what happened after the black holes collides and whether the theory was right or wrong.

NASA says it has received a signal confirming its Juno spacecraft has successfully started orbiting Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.
Researchers say an anomaly in the orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects points to the existence of an unknown planet orbiting the sun.

Pockets of water have been detected in dust from our solar system – suggesting that life's ingredients may be spread across the universe
Your time starts when you are Born, your time ends when Die. But the time of Space never started and it will never end. So let’s study the space time very fast… TIME TIME TIME. 36,000 YEARS The sun…
Los hombres primitivos ya se dieron cuenta de la presencia de esta banda luminosa muchas leyendas tuvieron su origen en ella, conociéndose con el nombre de Vía Láctea. Tras la invención del telescopio, los astrónomos observaron que está constituida por gran número de estrellas individuales, y ahora sabemos que tal conjunto de estrellas representa el plano central de nuestra Galaxia.

Get ready for your close-up, Pluto! For the first time in history, a space probe has arrived within striking distance of the dwarf planet.
If anyone decides to do watercolours it is inevitable to bump into galaxies at some point. No wonder: they are colourful, you can splash around and it is practically impossible to spoil them.
A quirk of our leading theory of cosmic history could mean that black holes were once portals to a multitude of universes beyond our own
