A neutron star merger is an extraordinary event. It features extremely powerful, chaotic magnetic fields that generate extremely energetic photons. Supercomputer simulations show that the extreme gamma-ray photons created in

So why should we expect interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS and ‘Oumuamua and even to some extent Borisov to be different-different?

While megastructures are clearly speculative, new research shows that they can (in theory) be built in a way that ensures long-term stability. These findings can provide insight into the properties

NASA telescopes have detected what could be the most distant gamma-ray burst ever detected. A merging pair of neutron stars generated when they merged and exploded as a kilonova. It

Once you start listing the properties of 3I/ATLAS, it becomes clear pretty quickly that this thing is distinctly different from any other comet we’ve ever seen. Here’s just a small

For forty years, a network of telescopes has been listening to the Sun hum and scientists have finally decoded what those sounds reveal about our star’s hidden interior. A new

Multiple mobile phones, dashcams, and dedicated meteor cameras capture a fireball over part of Europe on Sunday night. Thousands of people witnessed it, and the ESA’s Planetary Defence Team is

One of the Vera Rubin Observatory’s objectives is to detect incoming objects. It’s decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time will detect one-meter class objects about to impact Earth and

Lunar dust can be a pain – but it’s also literally the ground we will have to traverse if we are ever to have a permanent human settlement on the

Jupiter’s powerful, continuous aurorae dwarf those of Earth. Scientists know that Jupiter’s Galilean moons created bright spots on Jupiter’s northern aurora. The JWST observed these bright spots and generated infrared
