Venus and Mars in Moonlight

Perhaps the title could have been the gods of love and war in the moonlight... Venus, the goddess of love, and Mars, the god of war, are captured in the same frame with the Moon in this photo. This photo was taken by Kevin Bourque in South Carolina, USA, on February 20, 2015. During the 3-second exposure, the light reflected from the Earth also illuminated the dark side of the Moon.

Largest Black Hole Ever Discovered

The black hole, named OJ 287, is the largest black hole yet discovered, with a mass of 18 billion solar masses. If this black hole were located near our Sun, its event horizon would be 104 billion km in all directions. This means its total diameter is 211.7 billion km. To understand the distance, let's consider Pluto's orbital distance. Pluto is approximately 3.6 billion km from the Sun.

During a solar eclipse, the Moon's shadow falls on Earth. In the photo, we see the shadow cast over Türkiye and Cyprus. The shadow travels across the Earth's surface at an average speed of 2,000 km/h. This means the shadow stays in one place for only a few minutes at most.

Colliding Stars Solve Seventeenth-Century Explosion Riddle

APEX observations reveal the mystery of Nova Vulpecule 1670 Several great seventeenth-century astronomers, including Hevelius and Cassini, who also mapped the moon, carefully studied a new star that appeared in the sky in 1670. Hevelius called the star a Cygnus nova, but it is now known to astronomers as Nova Vulpecula 1670 [1]. Throughout history […]
