Keck Observatory and Gemini North Telescope on Mauna Kea have published a study about Wolf-Rayet stars orbiting the central supermassive black hole at the center…...
Yonsei Fires Back at Nobel Laureates on Universe's Expansion
8+ hour, 46+ min ago (418+ words) A Southampton team with Nobel laureates Adam Riess and Brian Schmidt defends the universe's accelerating expansion; Yonsei answered on August 26 that the analysis has two flaws. “The previous, well-established measurements were, in fact, fine, and our current understanding of the…...
Before JWST began science operations, a dust-sized particle struck one segment of its 6.5-metre mirror at hypervelocity and left an uncorrectable deformation — damage revealed because Webb can detect nanometre-scale changes in its own optical surface.
2+ hour, 24+ min ago (941+ words) Webb detected a permanent deformation on mirror segment C3 through nanometre-scale wavefront sensing, corrected part of it and remained well inside requirements. By Deep Field · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 30, 2026 · How we edit Before the James Webb Space Telescope released…...

What Is a Supernova? What Happens After a Star Explodes
4+ hour, 53+ min ago (754+ words) The explosion is not simply a large firework at the surface. In a massive star, the core has been building heavier elements through nuclear fusion. When the core reaches iron, fusion can no longer provide the energy needed to support…...
Some signs of quantum gravity may be an illusion
10+ hour, 55+ min ago (294+ words) Quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of gravity explain almost everything we see in nature, yet physicists still do not know how to unite them. A new theoretical framework suggests that some experiments that appear to show gravity behaving quantum mechanically…...
The universe’s total mass-energy budget, according to standard cosmology: 4.9% ordinary matter, 26.8% dark matter and 68.3% dark energy — meaning everything made from the atoms on the periodic table accounts for less than one-twentieth of the cosmos.
11+ hour, 24+ min ago (1022+ words) Planck's 2013 universe inventory assigned 4.9% to ordinary matter, 26.8% to dark matter and 68.3% to dark energy, within the standard flat ΛCDM model....
Astronomers find that a basic rule about star formation is wrong
14+ hour, 20+ min ago (1105+ words) Astronomers found that the mix of stars changes across the Milky Way, challenging a basic assumption used to measure distant galaxies. Astronomers can’t see most of the stars in a distant galaxy. The faint ones give off almost none of…...
Astronomers May Have Found The Universe’s First Truly Starless Galaxy
16+ hour, 9+ min ago (312+ words) Astronomers may have identified the strongest candidate yet for a galaxy made almost entirely of gas with no stars. Team leader Ignacio Trujillo of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias in Spain described the significance of the observation to Space....
The universe is still accelerating — two Nobel laureates had to prove it again
1+ day, 43+ min ago (379+ words) They have now published their response in the same journal that ran the original challenge. The universe is still accelerating. The Nobel Prize is still justified. The mystery, though, is as deep as it has ever been. Dr. Phil Wiseman…...
