An international team of researchers has announced a significant advancement in gravitational-wave astronomy, with the detection of 128 new cosmic collisions involving black holes and neutron stars.
A study led by Jenny Frediani at Stockholm University has revealed a planet-forming disk with a strikingly unusual chemical composition: an unexpectedly high abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in regions
The sun will someday die. This will happen when it runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and can no longer produce energy through nuclear fusion as it does
Every once in a while, you may look up toward the sun and see strange bright lights on either side of it. Or perhaps you’ll be sitting in an aircraft,
Wait wait wait. There are other, less stressful options. I don’t want to end on such a downer note. There is hope for us yet!
For nearly a century, cosmologists have relied on a simplified model of the universe that treats matter as uniform particles that don’t interact with each other. While this approach helped
When most stars like the Sun die, they don’t go out with a bang, they fade away as white dwarf stars, Earth-sized remnants that slowly cool over billions of years.
A new study by Manuel Barrientos and colleagues from the University of Oklahoma reveals that between 0.6% and 2.5% of white dwarfs in our solar neighborhood undergo dramatic cooling delays
New research published in the journal Science reveals the red planet’s mantle preserves a record of its violent beginnings.
