Moon Rock or Asteroid? NASA Tracks 2024 PT5’s Earth Flyby

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planetary Science /

First detected on August 7, 2024, by the University of Hawaiʻi’s ATLAS telescope in Sutherland, South Africa, asteroid 2024 PT5 has intrigued astronomers with its Earth-like orbit around the Sun. This small asteroid, approximately 33 feet (10 meters) in diameter, poses no threat to our planet. Orbiting the Sun in a path similar to Earth’s,

Penguins Don’t Mate for Life: A Myth Debunked by Science

Biology /

A long-term study on little penguins in Australia has debunked the belief that these seabirds stay with one partner for life. The research uncovered a “divorce rate” nearly ten times higher than that of U.S. humans, with parenting success as the main factor behind separations. While some penguins, like Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), are more

Gaia Discovers a Swarm of Black Holes Roaming the Milky Way

Astronomy, Planetary Science /

Palomar 5, a seemingly calm star cluster, may hide a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes. Spanning 30,000 light-years and located 80,000 light-years away, it provides clues about star cluster evolution and tidal stream formation. Unique in its loose structure and 20-degree tidal stream, Palomar 5 contrasts with typical dense globular clusters of ancient

Popular Sleeping Pill May Block the Brain’s Essential Cleaning Cycle

Healthcare, Medicine /

During sleep, the brain performs a “wash and rinse” routine to clear out harmful proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, new research has revealed that a widely used sleep aid might interfere with this critical process. In 2012, neuroscientist Maiken Nedergaard from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) identified a unique system

Astronomers Find Unusual Slow-Spinning Radio Source That ‘Shouldn’t Exist’

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planetary Science /

At the end of their lifecycles, some of the largest stars explode in massive supernovas, leaving behind dense cores called neutron stars. These remnants can emit strong radio waves from their magnetic poles. As these stars rotate, their radio beams sweep across Earth, creating periodic pulses much like a cosmic lighthouse. These stars are known
