Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope discovered a giant asteroid impact around Beta Gactris, the second brightest star in the constellation Scorpio. Chen othersBeta…
debtFor nearly 15 years, I used to fly to Los Angeles every June to cover E3, the massive video game conference where major games and consoles…
Neutron stars typically spin quickly, taking just a few seconds or even a fraction of a second to complete one revolution around their axis, but one…
Astronomers Multi-unit spectroscopic probe The (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile has imaged Propride, an externally illuminated protoplanetary disk around a young…
Astronomers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered very old stars in the Milky Way’s halo, a cloud of stars that covers the entire disk…
The night sky is a treasure trove of celestial wonders, and sometimes incredible events happen when no one is watching. Astronomers were thrilled when a satellite…
Brown dwarfs, often referred to as “failed stars,” are a fascinating type of celestial object. They are too large to be considered planets, yet too small…
Using data from ESA’s Gaia mission, astronomers discovered a nearby binary system of massive stars orbiting a dormant star-derived black hole over a period of 11.6…
Astronomers using NASA/ESA/CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a typical extremely metal-poor, star-forming, blue, compact dwarf galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, I. Zwicki 18…
Alex Jamison’s veganism gained worldwide recognition after starring in the 2004 film Supersize Me, an influential Academy Award-nominated documentary exploring our fast food culture.Originally working as…
In a new paper in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, leading computer scientists from around the world review recent advances in machine learning that are converging…
Astronomers have known for decades that the powerful light emitted by massive stars can disrupt planetary disks of dust and gas that swirl around young stars,…
White dwarfs, known as “man-eating stars” by scientists, are not just a concept from a Stephen King novel set in space. They are born through the…
SN 1987A is the only supernova visible to the naked eye in the past 400 years and the most studied supernova in history. This event was…
In a new study, astronomers from Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology examined the coupled distribution of spin and orbital orbits of exoplanets in…
A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive starwww.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg3005 Some 40,000 light-years away, a strange object could be either the heaviest neutron star or…
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized planet passing by the young Sun-like star HD 63433. HD 63433d is located close…
Using NASA/ESA/CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers detected a brown dwarf with infrared emissions from methane, likely due to energy in the upper atmosphere. The heating…
A University of Michigan astronomer, Sally Ooi, led a study on the star-forming regions of the host galaxy NGC 2366, a typical dwarf irregular galaxy. This…
