Astronomers have identified a new class of cosmic explosions, dubbed 'extreme nuclear transients', that are the brightest and most powerful since the Big Bang, shedding light on black hole behavior in distant galaxies.
A recent study challenges the belief that the Milky Way is destined to collide with Andromeda, presenting a 50/50 chance of avoiding this cosmic disaster in the next 10 billion years.
Astronomers have long predicted a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda, but new research suggests the fate of our galaxy is more uncertain than previously thought. A recent study shows only a 50% chance of merger within the next 10 billion years, revealing the complexities of galactic movement.
New simulations reveal that the Milky Way and Andromeda may not collide as expected. The chance of a merger has dropped to 50/50, raising questions about our galactic future.
What if Earth could think for itself? Topher McDougal's provocative theory in 'Gaia Wakes' explores the possibility of a conscious planet driven by AI, potentially guiding humanity towards a sustainable future. Could our world evolve a brain powered by technology?
