We are not alone: Our sun escaped together with stellar ‘twins’ from galaxy center

by quasarn01 | Mar 12, 2026 | Astronomy

Researchers have uncovered evidence for our sun joining a mass migration of similar “twins” leaving the core regions of our galaxy, 4 to 6 billion years ago. The team created and studied an unprecedentedly accurate catalog of stars and their properties...

The Rubin Observatory’s LSST will detect imminent impactors before they crash into Earth

by quasarn01 | Mar 11, 2026 | Astronomy

The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) has barely begun observations and is already wowing us. Images like its Cosmic Treasure Chest have us anticipating even more cosmic glory. And when the observatory sent out 800,000 alerts in one night in February, we got a taste of the...

Fiber setup compresses mid-infrared pulses to 187 femtoseconds using just 80 watts

by quasarn01 | Mar 11, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Ultrashort mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser pulses are essential for applications such as molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and biomedical imaging, but their generation often relies on complex and power-intensive systems that are difficult to implement outside...
