The world will see an annular solar eclipse or the "Ring of Fire" eclipse, on Oct 2. This eclipse takes place when the moon passes between the Sun and Earth but does not completely block the Sun

The annular solar eclipse of 2024 will occur on Oct 2, 2024. This year's eclipse will cover almost all of sun surface and be visible for a significantly longer period of time-7 mins and 25 sec

Asteroid 2024 PT5 will follow a horseshoe-shaped path for a period of 53 days before returning to a sun-centred path. The event will take place from September 29 and will last till November 25

If the latest study turns out to be true, it will challenge our traditional understanding of the universe, especially concerning black holes and dark matter

The Perseid meteor shower will peak across the United States on August 11 and 12 this year. On peak display, skywatchers could see up to 100 meteors each hour

Every year on July 2, people all over the planet observe World UFO Day. This day is about learning more about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and the possibility of life beyond Earth

Perihelion Day happens toward the beginning of January. This celestial event isn't simply a fascinating fact for stargazers and researchers; it also affects our planet and its environment

The Leonid meteor shower is brought about by the dust and debris abandoned by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. This yearly event will be seen in India, among other countries, from November 3 to December 2

How the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a surprisingly bright, complex and element-filled early universe

Jupiter is coming closer to Earth than it has since 1963. This is due to Earth and Jupiter's differing orbits around the sun, they do not pass each other at the same distance each time

All astronomers concur that planets are created in protoplanetary discs, which are the bands of gas and dust that encircle newly formed, young stars. Even though the universe has hundreds of these discs, it has been challenging to observe genuine planetary birth and development in these settings.Currently, astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have created a novel method to find these elusive newborn planets, along with "smoking gun" proof of a small Neptune or Saturn-like planet hiding in a disc. The Astrophysical Journal Letters today published a description of the findings.According to Feng Long, a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for Astrophysics and project leader, "directly finding young planets is highly tough and has thus far only been effective in one or two situations." Because they are encased in substantial amounts of gas and dust, planets are always too dim for us to see them.Instead, they must look for signs that a planet is forming ..

Stars are the machines that sculpt the universe, yet scientists don't fully know how they form

It has been an exciting week with the release of breathtaking photos of our Universe by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Images such as the one below give us a chance to see distant galaxies

Unveiled by US president Joe Biden, the stunning image of SMACS 0723, a cluster of thousands of galaxies, was released on July 11

Many astronomers believe there's a good chance that life exists on planets orbiting other stars, and it's possible that's where life will first be found

The supermoon be visible for the next three days and people across the world would be able to see till Friday morning, according to Nasa
