A guest at Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando died on Wednesday after riding a roller coaster at the new theme park, park officials said in a statement. The person, who has not been identified, became unresponsive while riding Stardust Racers at the Florida park, a Universal spokesperson said in the statement. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said off-duty deputies found …

Astronomers have a new theory about planetary formation, and it revolves around one mysterious concept: interstellar visitors. No, not little green men, but rather deep-space wanderers like the peculiar comet 3I/ATLAS discovered this summer. A new study presented by professor Susanne Pfalzner of Forschungszentrum Jülich at the Joint Meeting of the Europlanet Science Congress and the Division of Planetary Sciences …

Two ‘fans’ corresponding to the two main areas DESI has observed, above and below the plane of our Milky Way (see this map). DESI is mounted on the U.S. National Science Foundation Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a Program of NSF NOIRLab. DESI has made the largest 3D map of our Universe to date …

As you might imagine, mapping the universe on the largest of scales and tracing threads of the cosmic web is no mean feat. To do so, you’d need to take observational evidence and combine it with theoretical models such as the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS). Only then would you be on the road to developing a statistical …

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new class of enormous “naked” black holes, upends the textbook understanding of the young universe. “This is completely off the scale,” said Roberto Maiolino, …

Black holes can lose mass and energy over time. They release Hawking radiation. The smaller they are, the more radiation they emit, so the hotter they get. The end scenario is the black holes exploding into nothing. Could we observe such an exploding black hole? Maybe, if a bunch of conditions are met. If they are, we could see them …

On September 11, 2025, four zodiac signs receive powerful signs from the universe as truths come to light in surprising ways. On Thursday, we should take a closer look at both the conversations we participate in and dreams we have, because for four zodiac signs, what we pick up on might just be life-changing. We will find that this is …

Ringbauer’s team was building a quantum computer that used not qubits but qudits — each with five possible states. The extra possibilities allowed each particle to hold more information, often reducing the number of steps needed for a complex computation. Not every simulation would benefit from being run with qudits, but the complexity of quantum fields lent itself to the …
