Neutron stars are among the most extreme objects in the universe. Formed from the collapsed cores of supergiant stars, they weigh more than our sun and yet are compressed into a sphere the size of a city. The dense cores of these exotic stars contain matter compressed into unique states that are impossible for us … Read more
Astronaut Matthew Dominick was flying about 17,000 miles per hour above Earth when he looked out the window and saw this remarkable view. Dominick, who was sent to the space station in March as commander of the International Space Station, NASA‘S SpaceX Crew-8 mission, grabbed its camera and snapped the above photo. Taken on July … Read more
At the tiniest scales, our intuitive view of reality breaks down. It’s almost as if physics is fundamentally indecisive, a truth that becomes increasingly difficult to ignore as we zoom in on the particles that pixelate our universe. To understand it better, physicists had to come up with an entirely new framework to fit it … Read more
The rate at which the universe is expanding is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy. However, new research suggests that this may not be the case at the edges of black holes. Rather than suggesting that dark energy does not act at the boundaries of black holes, this … Read more

A giant NASA radar in the remote Mojave Desert captured images of several impressive asteroids, including a mile-wide behemoth, as they passed near our planet. Fortunately, there are no known asteroids that could potentially hit Earth for more than a century, and the chance of an impact from the largest class of asteroids (like the … Read more
Scientists may have unlocked the secret of the still-beating hearts of the universe’s most extreme “dead stars,” but the explanation is twisted. The team thinks that an avalanche of quantum tornadoes is causing this ‘disturbance’ in the rotation of a class of neutron stars called pulsars. This happens when they become entangled with neighbouring stars, … Read more
NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above Earth. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean aliens are about to strike. Using an imaging instrument called Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts discovered strange X and C shapes, appearing at surprising times in the most surprising places. The researchers found that … Read more
By James Cirrone for Dailymail.Com and Reuters 9:44 PM June 30, 2024, updated 9:56 PM June 30, 2024 Scientists conducting a new genomic study claim that the last woolly mammoths on Earth became extinct due to an extreme storm or plague. If the species had not become extinct, they might still be there today. These … Read more
What you need to know Google normally announces products in October, but the company sent out surprise invites this week to a Made by Google event in August. Additionally, Google broke a growing trend when it decided not to announce or showcase any new hardware at Google I/O 2024 last month. Google may be trying … Read more
