Ball lightning is one of the most mysterious and difficult to explain natural phenomena. He appeared during the storm, flew through the air, passed through…
This is a breakthrough! The LIGO telescope breaks the quantum limit
Thanks to the new method, the telescope will be able to detect 60% more gravitational waves. The gravitational wave machine measures extremely small distortions in…
James Webb discovers silicate and carbonate particles in the disk of a dirty white dwarf
Bodies destroyed by dwarves can be quite large. The James Webb Infrared Space Telescope has discovered traces of silicate and carbonate minerals in the disk…
A warped disk has been discovered around the star RZ Piscium
Astronomers observed the variable star RZ Piscium and discovered that it orbits a compact, broken debris disk. The research results have been published on the…
Astronomers discover a new nearly dark galaxy
A region of 100′′×100′′ around Nube. The figure is a composite of an RGB color image using the g, r and i HiPERCAM bands and…
Physicists have distorted light, like black holes: how successful they have been
Researchers used a special crystal to bend the path of light, like a black hole. This phenomenon is called pseudogravity. The new crystal can bend…
The Great Betelgeuse dimming event in high resolution

Study: The Universe Could Be a Black Hole
This conclusion was reached by studying global maps of the masses and radii of objects ranging from subatomic particles to superclusters of galaxies. Scientists at…
Astronomers: Life may exist on the dwarf planet Ceres
According to American scientists from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, extraterrestrial life could potentially exist on the dwarf planet Ceres, whose orbit is…
Small stars, big mysteries: searching for habitable planets in the Kepler sample
Finding Earth-sized planets in Kepler’s habitable zone is difficult for M stars. Updated Gaia data do not support the expected increase in frequency of Earth-sized…
