An 8 billion year journey to a radio telescope antenna, or a bit about the oldest fast radio burst
In June 2022, astronomers detected an unusual burst of radio waves that traveled through the universe for about 8 billion years, roughly half the age…
The theory of star formation in stellar nurseries has been scientifically revised
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have demonstrated that stars can be born by receiving matter from outside their parent molecular cloud.…
Scientists have just announced the discovery of a “missing law of nature” that explains the evolution of everything in the Universe.
The universe contains “many evolving systems, and we seem to have no laws of nature that fully describe the reasons for their existence.” A new…
There may be large amounts of organic matter inside Ceres.
In 2017, while studying data collected by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, scientists discovered fatty compounds near one of Ceres’ craters. In trying to determine the origin…
