A research team led by Assistant Professor Wu Chengyuan from Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has delved into the evolution of post-merger remnants resulting from the coalescence of double oxygen-neon white dwarfs. Their findings shed light on how specific factors influence the final fate of such remnants. Impacts of Convective Boundary Mixing […]

While we are aware of the existence of lunar ice, its origin remains somewhat uncertain. A recent investigation proposes that streams of electrons, which indirectly originate from both Earth and the Sun, are playing a role in the creation of frozen water on the Moon’s surface. These electrons impact the Moon when it traverses through

The James Webb Space Telescope from NASA has initiated its examination of the famous supernova, SN 1987A, situated 168,000 light-years distant in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This supernova has been under extensive scrutiny for nearly four decades, spanning from gamma rays to radio waves, since its detection in February 1987. Fresh observations using Webb’s NIRCam

By employing NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a group of astronomers from around the world has detected a fresh, substantial, and compact exoplanet. This recently discovered extraterrestrial planet, named TOI-332 b, ranks among the most densely-packed Neptune-sized planets ever observed. The discovery is detailed in a paper released on August 23 and available on

While outer space lacks traditional air, it experiences a unique form of wind known as solar wind, composed of charged particles emitted by the Sun. The precise process driving this phenomenon remains unclear, but the Solar Orbiter spacecraft from the European Space Agency (ESA) has recently detected hitherto undiscovered “small-scale” eruptions on the Sun’s surface

Today, the European Southern Observatory has shared a stunning new image providing valuable insights into the potential formation process of Jupiter-sized planets. By employing the advanced capabilities of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists have identified sizable dusty clusters near a young star. These clusters hold the possibility

A group of planetary scientists hailing from Belgium, the United States, France, and Germany has presented findings, based on data from the InSight lander, which indicate the presence of a fully liquid core on Mars along with internal mass irregularities. Their research, detailed in a publication in the journal Nature, elaborates on the analysis conducted

In the constellation Cetus, located about 250 million light-years from Earth, sits the elliptical galaxy NGC 547. This galaxy is the subject of a stunning image the NASA Hubble Space Telescope captured. The photograph reveals NGC 547 shining brightly just below the center of the frame, with its companion galaxy NGC 545 visible near the

According to recent research, irregularities in the cooling process of molten iron in the Earth’s core are responsible for variations in the planet’s magnetic field. Why do satellite operations and compass readings experience interference that results in inaccurate directions not aligned with true north due to the irregularities in the Earth’s magnetic field? Earth’s magnetic
