An international team of astronomers has discovered the smallest known brown dwarf star using the James Webb Space Telescope. According to research published in the…
The mystery of hydrogen-deficient supernovae has been solved
Astronomer Ylva Getberg tracks hydrogen-poor supernova source stars. He made an amazing discovery. Supernova explosions are usually so powerful that they shine as brightly as…
Black hole could swallow Hawking Cluster from inside
This hypothesis is based on the theory of black holes forming seconds after the Big Bang. Dark matter is one of the universe’s greatest mysteries.…
A warm planet where the year lasts 22 days has been discovered near Earth.
A team of astronomers led by CfA’s Alison Birilla has discovered a new exoplanet: warm Jupiter. Astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and…
Astronomers have discovered a rare planetary resonance solar system 100 light years away
“Resonant” planets could shed light on how such systems form and evolve, and why our solar system is out of sync. In a solar system…
A structure resembling the debris of a galactic collision has been discovered in a nearby galaxy
An international team of scientists analyzed data from multiple sources and found that the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the Milky Way’s satellites, contains two…
Entropy is key to assessing the habitability of exoplanets
The recipe for life is very simple: water, warmth, and nutrients. Italian chemist Luigi Petracone believes that another factor is needed: entropy. In his article,…
The mystery of hydrogen-deficient supernovae has been solved
Astronomer Ylva Getberg tracks hydrogen-poor supernova source stars. He made an amazing discovery. Supernova explosions are usually so powerful that they shine as brightly as…
How our universe is reflected in black holes.
Astronomers have developed a set of equations that accurately describe the reflection of space in diffracted light around a black hole. The distance between each…
Life may have emerged just seconds after the Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered surprising evidence that life may exist in unexpected corners of the universe. Research into the Barrett Cluster, a galaxy cluster where dark…
