The truth is that since the 1970s, physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility that there are even stranger objects in the universe that return everything that disappears inside them: white holes.

An astronomical novelty. The object in question is not spherical, teardrop shaped, and the first pulsating star from a single hemisphere.

NASA scientists have discovered the reason for the loss of brightness of the star Betelgeuse. And no, it is not going to explode, just yet.

The solar system is a much larger place than it appears, and it has many more elements than we normally count.

Astronomers have discovered that our planet has captured a 'mini moon' that has been orbiting the Earth for three years. It won't stay long though.

Four telescopes have captured this extraordinarily energetic event. It is the largest cosmic outburst since the Big Bang, the event that gave rise to the universe.

Katherine Johnson was one of the many women who made the calculations of the trajectories of NASA's first space flights from the shadows.
