Hey AstroDrivers, Today we’re diving into one of the universe’s deepest mysteries gravity itself and a groundbreaking new idea that could turn our understanding of cosmic forces completely upside down. For centuries, our concept of gravity has been inextricably linked to mass. From Newton’s elegant description of two massive objects attracting each other, to Einstein’s…
Reveals Our 500,000 MPH Ride Through the Milky Way! Hey AstroDrivers, Joy Kumar Sharma here, ready to share a truth that will absolutely shatter your sense of scale. We all know the basics: Earth takes about a year to orbit the Sun, covering some 584 million miles in the process. We use that cycle to…
Astronomy buffs, prepare for one of the most exciting comet seasons in recent years. Three comets — C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), C/2025 R2 (SWAN), and C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) — are making headlines for their predicted brightness, orbits, and viewing potential. This post brings you the latest on each, plus tips on when and how to see…
As the night skies of late September and the coming winter months begin to unfold, one of the most spectacular sights in astronomy is returning to prominence — Orion, also known as Kalpurush in Bengali. This brilliant constellation, steeped in myth and scientific wonder, is set to dominate the celestial stage once again, captivating stargazers…
Introduction The IC 348 star-forming region in the Perseus constellation has been revealed in extraordinary detail through the combined power of NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope. Released on July 23, 2025, this composite image blends X-ray and infrared data to showcase the hidden processes of stellar birth and the beauty…
Auroras and Satellite Risks In the summer of 2024, people across North America enjoyed stunning auroras in the night sky. But the same solar activity that causes auroras can disrupt satellites. These satellites are vital for GPS, communication, and navigation systems on Earth. To protect them, scientists are turning to artificial intelligence (AI). NASA’s Frontier…
IntroductionNASA’s Arcstone lunar reflectance mission has started operations, bringing a revolutionary approach to satellite data calibration. By using the Moon’s stable brightness as a reference, Arcstone is setting a universal standard for spaceborne sensors. Launched on July 23 from Vandenberg Space Force Base aboard a SpaceX Transporter-14 rideshare, the Arcstone spectrometer quickly completed testing. By…
Astronomers have spotted something 3,000 light-years away that doesn’t fit into any category we’ve ever seen before. We already know the two extremes: But this new object is neither. Boson Star Concept Art — A striking interpretation of a boson star warping light, capturing the mysterious nature of these hypothetical objects (as detailed by Space.com)…
Can We Make Oxygen from Water—Elsewhere in the Universe? On Earth, we often say forests are the “lungs of our planet,” but the real oxygen powerhouses are microscopic: phytoplankton in the oceans produce over 50% of our atmospheric oxygen through photosynthesis. The process is simple—water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are converted into oxygen (O₂)…
Since the beginning of time, humans have looked up at the sky and asked the same question: What lies beyond? The stars, the Moon, and the planets have always inspired awe. But over thousands of years, that curiosity turned into science—and eventually, exploration. Today, let’s take a journey through the complete history of space exploration—from…
