Here’s How You Can Still Get Heart Healthy After 40-
Over the last 10 years, scientists have been observing bright infrared light and flares coming from the location of two colliding galaxies. In a newly published study, scientists say that from their modelling, they believe they have most likely been observing a tidal disruption event (TDE), or the tearing apart of a star by a […] -
Scientists say that they have found proof of water on the moon—by looking in the desert in northwest Africa. A mineral that requires the presence of water to form was discovered in a lunar meteorite by a team of Japanese scientists. They identified the mineral moganite in just one of 13 lunar meteorites, which they […]

Astronomers have discovered a peculiar neutron star hanging out by itself. The star, E0102, is located 200,000 light years from Earth. Neutron stars are the dense core of stars that have collapsed and gone through a supernova explosion. NASA says E0102 is rare because it has a low magnetic field and no stellar companion. The […]

Our universe is not as special as previously thought, according to new research. A team of scientists from the UK and Australia studying “dark energy,” the mysterious force accelerating the expansion of the universe, found that varying amounts of dark energy can support life—a conclusion that goes against currently held views on the issue, and […]

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, has a cycle that converts methane from a gas into a liquid, similar to the water cycle on Earth, reports Science alert. The latest findings on this cycle have scientists understanding that intense methane rainstorms occur more frequently than expected. These rainstorms occur less than once a Titan year, which is […]

The accepted theory is that planets are formed as grains of dust collide within the disk of material that circles young stars. Pluto, however, could be breaking the mould, formed not from dust, but from comets—a billion or so—according to research published May 23. “We’ve developed what we call ‘the giant comet’ cosmochemical model of […]
