Researchers from the Center for Astrobiology and other international centers have discovered a super-Earth with unusually low density. The explanation seems to lie in its…
The James Webb telescope detects signs of “supermassive stars” of unusual dimensions
If the signs detected by the prodigious space telescope are confirmed, a star up to 10,000 times larger than our sun would have existed in…
Red supergiant star Batelgeuse increases its brightness and could explode as a supernova
Betelgeuse is the closest red supergiant star to our planet, and one day it will explode as a supernova. In recent days it has increased…
They discover a planet the size of Earth that is covered in volcanoes
The study also found that there are two other planets in the star system, called LP 791-18 b and c. The researchers suggest that the…
Galactic bubbles are more complex than estimated
Astronomers have revealed new evidence about the properties of giant bubbles of high-energy gas that extend far above and below the center of the Milky…
A new study puts a definitive age on Saturn’s rings: they are very young
A new study led by University of Colorado Boulder physicist Sascha Kempf has provided the strongest evidence yet that Saturn’s rings are remarkably young, potentially…

Search table of stars included in the periodicity search. – THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL (2023). DOI: 10.3847/153 The stars that live closest to the supermassive black…
Primal black holes the size of an atom, the true nature of dark matter?
Dark matter is an unknown type of matter that cannot be detected other than by its gravitational influence. It is more abundant in the cosmos…
The ring that surrounds black holes has been recreated in the laboratory
Researchers at Imperial College have created a spinning disk of plasma in a laboratory, mimicking the disks found around black holes and forming stars. The…
Astronomers observe the first radiation belt outside our solar system, essential for the search for habitable planets
Astronomers have described the first radiation belt observed outside our solar system, using a coordinated array of 39 radio satellite dishes from Hawaii to Germany…
