As hobbies go, stargazing has a pretty low barrier to entry. All you really need is a pair of Mark 1 eyeballs and maybe a little caffeine to help you …read more Continue reading Keeping Track of the Night Sky with Discrete Logic Chips
Flat-Earthers might have been right all along – they were just a few billion years late. Scientists at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) have found that newly formed planets might take on a flatter shape, before rounding out.Continue Reading… Continue reading Earth may actually have once been flat – kinda, a long time ago
Astronomers have mapped out half the universe in X-ray light, using a space telescope called eROSITA. The new map, which contains almost a million X-ray sources, is the basis of dozens of new scientific papers, with many more to come.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Huge X-ray image covers half the universe, including a million sources
“Astronomers discover a completely unknown object floating around in space” is a common news theme, but it’s fun every time. The latest is a brand new type of star – ancient red giants the team has nicknamed “Old Smokers.”Continue ReadingCategory: Spac… Continue reading “Old Smokers”: Astronomers discover previously unknown type of star
Mobile apps and AI processing are making things a lot easier for would-be stargazers, who no longer have to fiddle with focusing using cold fingers or even track and identify celestial objects – smart telescopes take care of all that for you. The lates… Continue reading Celestron “home observatory” lets users view the cosmos on a smart TV

Astronomers have discovered a neutron star orbiting a mysterious object that, by all accounts, shouldn’t be able to exist. Seemingly invisible in light, and too small to be a black hole, the object defies explanation.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, Sc… Continue reading Neutron star discovered orbiting mysterious object that shouldn’t exist
It’s safe to say that French smart telescope innovator Vaonis took the internet by storm last year with the launch of the book-sized Hestia. Now the company has returned to its Vespera model for a second-generation upgrade.Continue ReadingCategory: Tec… Continue reading Vaonis Vespera II smart telescope captures the cosmos in 4K
