Watch today rare transit of Mercury over Sun
A transit of Mercury over the disc of the Sun will take place this afternoon and be visible from Bangladesh.
Super star has 5 twins
As a star, the sun is so big that it can accommodate 13 lakh earths. Now imagine a star that is around a hundred times larger than the sun and outshines the sun five million times. Such massive stars produce and distribute a large amount of elements vital for formation of life when they eventually explode as supernovae. Unfortunately, these hypergiants are extremely rare as their size makes them unstable. According to Nasa, the lone example of such a star until recent times, which has not exploded, was Eta Carinae.
Discovery of oxygen on comet 'big surprise'
Stunned scientists announce the unexpected discovery of large quantities of oxygen on a comet which streaked past the Sun in August with a European spacecraft in tow.
Giant 'hole' in sun is 50 Earths wide
The sun has sprung a leak: A hole in the topmost layer of the sun and its magnetic field, the size of 50 Earths, is letting loose an ultrafast solar wind that has kicked off several nights of auroras down on Earth.
See-through solar cells could turn windows, phones into power sources
Transparent solar is based on a fact about light that is taught in elementary school, sun transmits energy in the form of invisible ultraviolet and infrared light, as well as visible light.
Sun X-ray reveals colorful processes
A space telescope designed to look into the furthest-most reaches of space at some of the most energetic phenomena in the known universe has, once again, been turned to face our nearest star, producing a rare and beautiful insight to our X-ray sun.
Getting ready for the mission to Hell
Two most audacious space missions- Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus, are currently in development and will venture inside the orbit of Mercury to study the Sun
