It Shouldn’t Exist: Astronomers Discover a Planet Orbiting the “Wrong Way”  SciTechDaily Source link

Life can thrive in some seriously extreme environments, from the salty to the cold, and now the surprisingly deep, as scientists have found the deepest complex ecosystem ever discovered. The hadal trenches these animals call home can be as deep as 9,533 meters (31,276 feet) and play host to species that get their energy from chemical reactions. Handy, given there’s …

Astronomers have discovered a possible new dwarf planet orbiting far beyond Pluto. First detected in March 2023 by Japan’s Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, this object has been dubbed 2023 KQ14 and nicknamed Ammonite. Ammonite’s appearance also puts a kink in what’s known as the Planet Nine hypothesis, which suggests there may be an undiscovered ninth planet in our solar system. …

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Over the past decade, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network has detected hundreds of black hole mergers, but none quiet as large as GW231123. At 225 solar masses, the black hole resulting from the merger far exceeds previous record holder GW190521, which weighed in at 140 solar masses. This black holes involved in …

“This Shouldn’t Exist in Orbit”: Astronaut Stunned by ‘Impossible’ Satellite That Could Upend the Future of Space Exploration Forever  Rude Baguette Source link

Astronomers have discovered over a dozen “dormant” galaxies that paused their star formation within the first billion years after the Big Bang. The discovery, made with data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), illuminates a fascinating phase in the lives of early galaxies and could provide more clues about how galaxies evolve. There are several reasons why galaxies may …

Two of the strangest structures in the galaxy just got even stranger. Ballooning above and below the Milky Way‘s center like a massive hourglass, the mysterious Fermi bubbles loom large over our galaxy. These enormous twin orbs of superheated plasma have been gushing out of the galactic center for millions of years. Today, they span some 50,000 light-years from tip …

Gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic events—travel at the speed of light in every direction, eventually fading out like ripples in water. But some events are so destructive and extreme that they create disturbances in spacetime more like powerful waves than small ripples, with enough energy to reach our own detectors here on Earth.  Today, the LIGO Collaboration …
