Gamma-ray bursts are intense flashes of energy that light up the universe. They were first spotted in the late 1960s, making them a relatively recent discovery in space science. These bursts are short-lived, lasting from a fraction of a second to a few thousand seconds. The bursts are caused by ext
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery. They spotted a huge burst of energy from a star not too far away. This burst, called a coronal mass ejection, is like a massive solar tantrum. It can be very destructive. This is the first time scientists have seen such an event happening on a star

Astronauts might soon be eating protein powder made from their own urine. This is not a joke. The European Space Agency is exploring this idea to keep astronauts fed during long space missions. The protein powder is called Solein. It is made using air, microbes, and electricity. The process involve
Telescopes have come a long way in recent years, with technology making it easier than ever to explore the night sky. There are two main types to consider: traditional visual telescopes and digital astrophotography telescopes. Each has its own strengths, depending on what you're looking for. Tr
