The Traveler Star traveled 50,000 light years. One of the stars orbiting near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy…
Exoplanets like Neptune near red dwarfs don’t fit any theory of planet formation.
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet whose existence doesn’t fit the standard model of planet formation. LHS 3154b is unusually massive for a very low-mass star…
The Japanese cultivated vegetables in soil that mimics the soil of the asteroid Ryugu.
This experiment gives us hope that farming in space is possible. Japanese experts have successfully grown vegetables in soil that exactly matches soil samples brought…
A gigantic river of stars 1.7 million light-years long has been discovered between galaxies.
Astrophysicists have discovered a gigantic star stream stretching 1.7 million light years through space. This phenomenon was called the Koma River. Experts believe there may…
The Sun at the diameter of London: What is a neutron star?
A neutron star is the original core of a very massive star, incredibly compressed and left “naked” without a shell. This happens when this giant…
Red flag: How do scientists know the universe is expanding?

The void in the universe: the key to solving the Hubble problem and an alternative to dark matter
The universe is expanding. This fact was discovered by American astronomer Edwin Hubble in 1929. He discovered that galaxies are moving away from each other…
All of space and time trembles with the pulsation of gravitational waves.
From every corner of the universe, planets, stars, stellar debris, and other massive objects begin a complex but inherently unstable gravitational dance. Each mass bends…
Astronomers studied the disk around a massive star that was forming in another galaxy. So far, it has only been observed in the Milky Way.
Astronomers have discovered for the first time an accretion disk around a giant star forming outside the Milky Way. HH 1177 is located in the…
The first bacteria may have appeared in dense interstellar clouds
Chinese astronomers at the Zijinshan Observatory are developing the idea that life could arise in molecular clouds. His new calculations show that conditions in these…
