The universe is a varied and complex entity full of unknowns. To date, astrophysicists’ observations about the mapping of the cosmos indicate that small galaxies could be distributed around their host galaxies in random order. New data, however, is revealing that these smaller galaxies form thin disks around their hosts, according to a Vice report…

NASA’s InSight Mars lander set to end mission on Red Planet this summer
1/7 As the Mars InSight lander’s power diminishes because of dust on its solar panels, preventing it from charging, NASA engineers plan to power down most of its instruments — but hold out hope it will be able to wake back up at some point.

Water discovered on ‘habitable zone’ exoplanet could actually be methane, new study finds
Evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere of an exoplanet caused widespread excitement in 2019, signaling the first discovery of a key element for life on a planet in a “habitable zone” outside of our solar system. A new study, however, suggests that vapor found on the planet named K2-18b may not be the life-supporting…
New 5.0 marsquake is biggest yet detected
Spectrogram from the InSight Mars lander, showing the biggest marsquake detected so far, at magnitude 5.0, detected earlier this month. Image via NASA/ JPL-Caltech/ ETH Zurich. Earthquakes are common on our planet, and they can be big, with devastating consequences. The planet next outward from the sun, Mars, has quakes, too, which we’ve seen as…
How do galaxies arrange themselves in the universe? New study has an interesting answer
The mysteries of the universe continue to fascinate scientists all around the world and one of the major points of contention over the years have been the placement of the galaxies all around the cosmos. While the existing theories suggest that there is no pattern when it comes to the various galaxies, a Vice report…
Invisible Space Walls’ “Fifth Force” Discovery Could Solve Cosmology’s Greatest Mystery
Scientists might have just found the “fifth force” working in space. According to them, this force might be mediated by a hypothetical particle called “symmetron” or also known as “domain walls”, which are responsible for bolstering the creation of invisible walls in space.
