Image curtesy of NASA. Astronomers around the world are preparing for one of the most extraordinary celestial events of the coming decade, as near-Earth asteroid 99942 Apophis is set to make an exceptionally close approach to our planet on April 13, 2029 . First discovered in 2004, Apophis initially made headlines when early orbital calculations suggested a small but concerning chance of impact with Earth. While continued observations have since ruled out any collision risk

Late 2024 marked the beginning of one of humanity’s most ambitious astrobiology missions yet, as NASA successfully launched the Europa Clipper spacecraft on a decade-long journey to Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa. Europa has long fascinated scientists as one of the most promising places in our solar system to search for conditions suitable for life. Beneath its frozen outer shell lies a vast global ocean, thought to contain more than twice as much water as all of Earth’s oceans c

Astronomy news has been buzzing again, this time about black holes and neutron stars. With new detections from gravitational wave observatories and fresh insights from space telescopes, scientists are piecing together more about these exotic remnants of dead stars.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is shaking up astronomy again. This time, it’s with the detection of mysterious objects dubbed "dark galaxies" — star systems so smothered in dust that they’re almost invisible to traditional telescopes. The discovery is making astronomers rethink how galaxies formed in the early universe.

After months of researching, tweaking, and slowly piecing things together, I can finally say my planetary rig is complete.
