Enlarge / The Milky Way’s central black hole is in a very crowded environment. Supermassive black holes are voracious. Clumps of dust and gas are often disrupted by turbulence and radiation when they get pulled too close. So why are some of them orbiting the edge of the Milky Way’s own supermassive monster, Sgr A*? … Read more

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

This is an artist’s impression of a young star surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. An international team of astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study the disk around a young, very low-mass star known as ISO-ChaI 147. The results reveal the richest hydrocarbon chemistry yet observed in a protoplanetary disk. … Read more
An international team of astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study the disk of gas and dust surrounding a young, very low-mass star. The results reveal the largest number of carbon-containing molecules yet seen in such a disk. These findings have implications for the potential composition of any planets that could form … Read more
A little-known ingredient in energy drinks was thrust into the spotlight this week after scientists theorized it could partly explain the rise in colon cancer in young people. Taurine is an amino acid used in Red Bull to energize cells and improve mental clarity. However, scientists in Florida hypothesize that this ingredient could “feed” harmful … Read more
