A groundbreaking discovery reveals that a binary star system just 150 light-years away will explode in a Type Ia supernova in 23 billion years. This finding confirms a long-theorized origin of supernovae, changing our understanding of cosmic events.
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have found a unique binary star system of two white dwarfs that are on a collision course, set to explode in a spectacular Type 1a supernova in 23 billion years. This event will be incredibly luminous, shining ten times brighter than the moon!
A new study suggests dark energy, the force driving cosmic expansion, may be weakening, challenging decades of scientific understanding and hinting at a possible 'big crunch' scenario.
A groundbreaking study reveals that Wolf-Rayet 104, once thought to be a potential 'death star', holds more mysteries than expected. With surprising orbital dynamics, this pinwheel star challenges our understanding of cosmic phenomena.
Scientists have created woolly mice to study genetic traits of extinct mammoths, explored hornet diets, and uncovered primordial water from supernovae. Plus, a hopeful update on the ozone layer's recovery!
A recent study suggests water may have formed just 100–200 million years after the Big Bang, challenging existing timelines on cosmic evolution and life’s crucial ingredient.
A groundbreaking study reveals that Earth's water may have originated from supernova explosions shortly after the Big Bang, suggesting that conditions for life existed billions of years earlier than previously believed.
