Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery using NASA’s Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They observed twoin disks and parallel jets erupting from a few young stars in the star system WL20, located more than 400 light-years away in the rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud complex. This unexpected finding provides new … Read more
As the moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, moving up and down with respect to the galactic plane. A new study has suggested that this movement of our star through the Milky Way may be taking us through regions of space that … Read more
New research from Boston University and the Harvard Radcliffe Institute suggests that the sun passed through a massive hydrogen cloud two million years ago, directly impacting the protective heliosphere and possibly permanently altering all life on Earth. Evidence for this event and its effects on Earth’s climate also shows that the Sun’s location in the … Read more

Scientists have found strong evidence that some massive stars end their existence with a whimper, not a bang, and sink into one black hole of their own making without the light and fury of one supernova. To understand why this is important, we need to start with a crash course in stellar evolution. Stars generate … Read more
Our solar system is a pretty busy place. There are millions of objects moving around – from planets to moons, to comets and asteroids. And every year we discover more and more objects (usually small asteroids or fast comets) calling the solar system home. Astronomers had found all eight of the major planets by 1846. … Read more
