A distant planet might sit in the perfect orbit for life, with temperatures just right for liquid water. But if that world is too dry, it could still be completely uninhabitable. New research suggests that many so-called “desert planets” may مزید پڑھیں
A distant Jupiter-like planet has revealed an unexpected secret: water-ice clouds hiding in its atmosphere. The discovery, made with JWST, shows these alien worlds are more complex than scientists thought. Astronomers have identified an unexpected feature on a distant gas مزید پڑھیں
An unprecedented neutrino detection in the Mediterranean has pushed the boundaries of high-energy astrophysics, raising new questions about the most extreme processes in the universe. Three years ago, scientists detected an “ultra-energetic” cosmic neutrino in the Mediterranean Sea, the most مزید پڑھیں
A massive star’s sudden transformation may signal an approaching supernova. One of the largest stars ever discovered has undergone a dramatic transformation, and scientists believe it may be nearing a violent end. New research led by Gonzalo Muñoz-Sanchez at the مزید پڑھیں
The lifetime of nitrous oxide is decreasing more quickly than expected, which is changing climate projections. Scientists at the University of California, Irvine report that climate change is accelerating the breakdown of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. This gas is مزید پڑھیں
Astronomers have uncovered an extraordinarily ancient star that offers a rare glimpse into the universe’s earliest chapters. An international team of astronomers has identified the most chemically pristine star ever observed, named SDSS J0715-7334, using data from the Sloan Digital مزید پڑھیں
A new analysis of meteorite isotopes challenges long-held ideas about Earth’s origins, suggesting our planet may have formed almost entirely from nearby material rather than distant sources. Planetary scientists have long debated the origin of the material that formed Earth. مزید پڑھیں
Four astronauts blasted off from Florida on Wednesday on Nasa’s Artemis II mission, a high-stakes voyage around the moon that marks the United States’ boldest step yet toward returning humans to the lunar surface later this decade in a race مزید پڑھیں
By applying machine learning to vast TESS datasets, researchers have built one of the most precise catalogs of nearby exoplanets to date. Astronomers at the University of Warwick have confirmed more than 100 exoplanets, including 31 newly identified worlds, using مزید پڑھیں
A new study proposes an innovative way to uncover elusive supermassive black hole binaries by tracking subtle, repeating flashes of starlight. Researchers from Oxford University and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) have outlined a new مزید پڑھیں
