Scientists Say Dark Matter Could Turn Failed Stars Into ‘Dark Dwarfs’
Astronomers now propose that “failed stars” known as brown dwarfs could be powered by dark matter. Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of the […]
Scientists Trace Universe’s Missing Ordinary Matter Using FRBs and X-rays
Almost half of the matter of the universe is yet hidden from observation, literally unknown to us. Scientists have discovered the fast radio waves and […]
Meet the Johnson CLPS Team Supporting NASA’s Lunar Exploration Goals
As part of NASA’s Artemis campaign, the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, managed out of Johnson Space Center in Houston, is paving the way […]
Water May Have Formed in the Universe 100 Million Years After Big Bang
Water molecules may have emerged in the universe much earlier than previously estimated, suggesting that the conditions necessary for life existed billions of years before […]
New Dark Matter Hypothesis Suggests Ionisation Clue in Milky Way’s Core
Unusual activity at the centre of the Milky Way has raised new questions about dark matter, potentially pointing to a previously overlooked candidate. Researchers suggest […]
Black Hole Singularities May Not Exist, Say Scientists
The existence of singularities at the heart of black holes has been challenged by physicists, with new modifications to Einstein’s general relativity equations suggesting that […]
Aditya-L1’s SUIT Telescope Captures First-Ever Solar Flare Kernel, Revealing Unseen Solar Activity
India’s space-based solar observatory, Aditya-L1, has recorded a never-before-seen solar flare phenomenon, marking a major step in solar research. The Solar Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) […]
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 Scientific Mission on Space Station Concludes
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission with agency astronauts Nick Hague, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov is preparing to return to Earth […]
X-ray Signal from Helix Nebula Suggests Planet Was Destroyed by White Dwarf
An unusual X-ray signal detected from the Helix Nebula for over four decades has now been linked to the destruction of a planet by the […]
