The inner core of the earth oscillates as assumed earlier by the scientists. This article provides further clarifications.

Space junk is a problem that has to be tackled at the world level. An assignment was undertaken by astroscale and various governmental organisations.

The concept of antimatter is a fact and is very important for the existence of this very universe, even from the viewpoint of particle physics. It’s a mysterious entity in our universe, and we know very little about it. It has existed since the creation of the universe, the Big Bang, even so, why is it that we know very less about it than any other “Matter” is a very important question.

Everyone dreams of a day when we finally make contact with an intelligent alien race from beyond galaxies. But this might not be real good news. Not because they could be hostile to us, but because a fundamental hypothesis about the universe itself, connected to the fermi paradox, would doom us to extinction in such a case

Thought this year may have been a bad one for some, it wasn't the same in the field of Astronomy & Astrophysics as we were able to witness many new findings and events throughout the year, starting with the dazzling first image taken of the Sun by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope to witnessing the closest Great Conjunction in 397 years.

Physics has been making groundbreaking discoveries over the years. Sometimes coming up with an update to some existing theory, or sometimes making a completely new theory to explain a new phenomena. But the real challenge lies in coming up with an experimental technique to validate the theory. Here are few such experimental feats that were achieved in this year.
