Discovery of unusual star may change our picture of how stars explode and elements are made

Scientists have found a star unlike any other one recorded—which may change our understanding of how stars die. …read more […]

NGC 2403 XMM4 is a super-Eddington neutron star, study finds

By analyzing the data from various space telescopes, astronomers have performed a detailed study of an ultraluminous X-ray source known as NGC 2403 XMM4. Results of the study, published January 5 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal, indicate that this source is a neutron star accreting at super-Eddington rates. …read more […]

NASA: There Is A Giant Square Structure Hidden Under The Moon

NASA: There Is A Giant Square Structure Hidden Under The Moon

It seems that after all, no one can accurately explain the dozens of mysteries surrounding Earth’s natural satellite.

While most of the times, when UFO hunters spot odd structures either on the moon or on Mars for example, these turn out to be, sometimes just the result of pareidolia. This however, isn’t the case here. According to scientific study, rifts across a giant area of the Moon’s surface, known as Ocean of Storms actually form an enormous rectangle.

Now, to the dozens of mysteries surrounding the moon we can add this giant …read more […]

Mammoth rocket stage for Blue Origin New Glenn goes for sideways ride on Space Coast

A first stage of Blue Origin’s massive New Glenn rocket became king of the road for a day making a trip from the factory to its launch complex on Wednesday. …read more […]

NASA-funded study finds: Dozens of advanced ancient civilizations collapsed before us

Is it possible that just like many other advanced civilizations in the past, ours too is heading towards an impending collapse? Is the collapse of society imminent? These are some of the questions a study from NASA aims at answering. The study, partly sponsored by the Goddard Space Flight Center suggests that civilizations as we know it could come to an abrupt end in the coming decades due to a number of factors.

If we look back in history, 3000 – 5000 years, we will find a historical record that …read more […]

Webb discovers dusty ‘cat’s tail’ in Beta Pictoris System

Beta Pictoris, a young planetary system located just 63 light-years away, continues to intrigue scientists even after decades of in-depth study. It possesses the first dust disk imaged around another star—a disk of debris produced by collisions between asteroids, comets, and planetesimals. …read more […]

Old stars may be the best places to search for life

Once upon a cosmic time, scientists assumed that stars apply an eternal magnetic brake, causing an endless slowdown of their rotation. With new observations and sophisticated methods, they have now peeked into a star’s magnetic secrets and found that they are not what they expected. The cosmic hotspots for finding alien neighbors might be around stars hitting their midlife crisis and beyond. …read more […]

‘Stellar paternity tests’ match orphaned stars to their Milky Way origins

In the chaotic environment of open star clusters, strong gravitational interactions between bodies can launch individual stars far outside the cluster, even outside our galaxy, the Milky Way. Now, for the first time researchers have mapped several of those stars, which exist outside the galaxy’s disk, to the clusters of their origin using new data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia Mission. …read more […]

‘Self-eating’ rocket could help UK take a big bite of space industry

New developments on a nearly century-old concept for a “self-eating” rocket engine capable of flight beyond the Earth’s atmosphere could help the U.K. take a bigger bite of the space industry. …read more […]

Researchers look at thermal stabilization in photonic packages

Photonics offers various advantages, including enablement of high-speed and low-loss communication by leveraging light properties in optical data communication, biomedical applications, automotive technology, and artificial intelligence domains. These advantages are realized through complex photonic circuits, comprising diverse photonic elements that are integrated on a photonic chip. …read more […]

Q&A: Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 passengers likely would have died if blowout occurred above 40,000 feet, says physicist

If the Alaska Airlines plane that lost a portion of its fuselage while ascending after takeoff Friday had been flying at normal cruising altitude, its passengers and crew would probably have died from the depressurization event, according to a Northeastern expert. …read more […]

Study disproves assumption about perovskite solar cells, showing that shallow defects dominate in terms of efficiency

Free charge carriers in perovskite solar cells likely have a special form of protection from recombination, researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have discovered by means of innovative photoluminescence measurements. …read more […]

Scientists resolve intriguing phenomenon of superlubricity and formulate its laws

Skoltech researchers have explained why very weak friction obeys different laws than those governing regular friction as we know it from school physics. Among other unexpected and counterintuitive features, the alternative friction laws formulated by the team reveal why increasing the weight of a body sliding along a surface does not necessarily cause greater friction. …read more […]
