We can hardly imagine, how long Saturn spins, just by watching the clouds swirling at its surface. But the ripples in the ring have all the explanations about how fast the planet rotates. Well, its day flies by in 10 hours, 33 minutes and 38 seconds.

A recent space research claims that the mystery orbits of unknown in the outermost reaches of our solar system are not caused by the hypothesised ‘Planet Nine'. The phenomenon can be explained by the gravitational force of small bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune.

The number of asteroids colliding with the Moon and the Earth was about two to three times higher in the last 290 million years than in the previous 700 million years, finds a study that challenges previous understanding of Earth's history.

Robotic science, today, redefines the thing we see around us. Lately, scientists have used a 300-million-year old fossil skeleton and preserved ancient footprints to recreate the walk of prehistoric life.

The heavenly moon is not a stranger for us. We see it at night, almost daily, until the weather turns extremely cloudy. Besides connecting it with eclipses and some mythological beliefs there are many more facts about moon which are not known to all of us. To enhance your knowledge, we have come up with scientific facts about the lunar space which are worth-knowing.

A thorough study of data from NASA's Kepler space telescope has led scientists to discover a new planet that is twice as large as Earth. The newly discovered planet is within a zone that could allow liquid water to exist on its surface.

In the recent development, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has started its journey to hunt for moons in the solar system's most distant edge, looking for hints on creation of our solar system. Recently, the spacecraft has studied a space rock situated some 4 billion miles away from Earth.

Good news! A mumbaiker will have its imprint on Nasa's New Horizon spacecraft's trajectory while executing an historic flyby of the most distant object Ultima Thule in the solar system. The execution will take place at around 11 am (IST) on Tuesday.
