NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope have recently released a breathtaking new image of NGC 2835, a spiral galaxy located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. This latest photo, part of Hubble’s ongoing observation campaign, reveals intricate details of the galaxy, especially in a newly highlighted wavelength of red light called H-alpha. The stunning pink nebulae scattered across …

Roll out the cosmic welcome mat for our solar system’s newest resident: a never-before-seen moon orbiting Uranus. A team of astronomers announced Tuesday that a new satellite measuring roughly 90 football fields across was discovered around the seventh planet from the sun. The moon, which was first seen by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope on Feb. 2, joins a busy …

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It’s so effective—some have called it “impossible to return“—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned …

“Punctum” may sound like type of punctuation, but to some scientists, it constitutes what may be a brand new type of cosmic object. In a new interview with Gizmodo, Elena Shablovinskaya, a radio astronomer at Chile’s Universidad Diego Portales (UDP) and Germany’s Max Planck Institute who led the team behind the find, waxed prolific about the bright dot she and her …

The early stages of a supernova explosion are revelatory in what they can reveal about stars that go boom. But while catching them immediately after they detonate has proven largely elusive, astronomers now think they have developed a foolproof way to spot a young supernova. Although we know what type of star will go supernova, we cannot predict when a …

Free-floating, planetary-mass objects that are just drifting carefree through the galaxy, untethered and starless, appear to be able to generate their own systems of moons, like a planetary system on a miniature scale. An analysis of new JWST observations on a number of rogue planets – each weighing between five and 10 Jupiters – has revealed the presence of disks …

Research teams from Tel Aviv University and the French National Center for Scientific Research applied new research techniques to the 140,000-year-old skull of …
