A NASA satellite has located an Earth-sized habitable world within its star's; it is likely that the planet might be having water on it.

There has been a long debate on the perception that the universe is flat; but a new study has come up claiming that it is actually curved.

James Peebles has been awarded for "theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology", and Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz shared the award for "the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star."

The new planet, named GJ 3512b, is seen revolving around M-type red dwarf. This kind of star is quite small, traditionally one fifth the size of the sun and up to 50 times dimmer. For comparison, our sun weighs roughly 333,000 times more than Earth while GJ 3512b's star only weighs 270 times more. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, weighs around 1,047 times less than the sun.

A very common general knowledge question ' What is the closest planet to Earth?' gets a new twist. While most of us may consider Venus as the answer but, actually, it may be Mercury.

Our solar system has been a point of discussion since the evolution of earth. And, the existence of Planet Nine has been questioned since its discovery in 2014. Scientists are expecting to find the strange facts covering the celestial object.

In the latest 'Red planet' observation, scientists with the help of data from NASA's Curiosity rover found that the rocks on Mars are more porous and less compacted than expected.

Astronomers during the largest digital sky survey have revealed the biggest astronomical information, which is over 1.6 petabytes. It is the second edition of data, scientists say.

Scientists reveal that the moon rock samples once collected by Apollo 14 astronauts have the origin from Earth. The rock found on Moon is presumed to be the oldest known rock of the Earth. It was formed around the same time our planet was formed, according to an analysis in Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

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.
