Hidden dark matter stars and where to find them
While dark matter’s enigmatic nature persists, Proca stars made of dark photons could help shed light on this cosmic mystery.
New JWST data challenges our understanding of supermassive black holes
The new findings contradict most observations of supermassive black holes, making this an unprecedented discovery.
LISA gravitational wave detector could help scientists see the birth of the Universe
ESA greenlights LISA, a space-based observatory poised to detect gravitational waves across space and time.
Astronomers might have a shot at imaging primordial black holes
Gravitational waves could be the key to imaging elusive primordial black holes born in the first moments of our Universe.
“Stellar paternity tests” link orphan stars to their parent clusters
Astronomers used the Gaia Space Telescope to say “you are the father” by tracing hot young stars back to their place of birth.
Astronomers track weather on an exoplanet that rains gemstones
The Hubble Space Telescope saw massive cyclones, storms, and weather chaos in the changing atmosphere of WASP-121b, a planet so hot it rains iron, sapphires, and rubies.
Neutron stars may be hiding quark matter in their cores
Massive neutron stars have such enormous pressure in their cores that neutrons residing there lose their integrity and become a new type of matter.
JWST captures stunning images of Uranus
The powerful telescope gave space fans an early Christmas present in the form of a detailed image of Uranus, observed using infrared light.
