An international team of astronomers reports the detection of two new brown dwarfs orbiting distant stars using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The newfound objects are about 30 times more massive than Jupiter. The finding was detailed in a paper posted on March 7 to the arXiv preprint server.

I’ve long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe’s origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the traditional singularity-based models of cosmology. Instead of a universe emerging from an infinitely dense point, I propose that a flat universe and its time-reversed partner—an anti-universe—can emerge together from nothing through a smooth, quantum […]

To learn more about the deepest reaches of our own galaxy and the mysteries of star formation, Japanese researchers have created a deep learning model. The Osaka Metropolitan University-led team used artificial intelligence to pore through the vast amounts of data being acquired from space telescopes, finding bubble-like structures that had not been included in […]
