The belt was discovered around a brown dwarf known as LSR J1835+3259 and is 10 million times more intense than Jupiter's.
Mounting evidence suggests humans are now a major driving force of evolution on Earth. We're altering so much of our world that we're not only now driving the climate, but the direction of life itself.
One year in the next five will almost certainly be the hottest on record and there's a two-in-three chance a single year will cross the crucial 1.5 °C global warming threshold.
While our census of hazardous NEOs is not nearly complete, we do have reliable maps of nearly all of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than a kilometer (0.6 mile) across.
New discoveries by a team of astronomers added 62 new moons to Saturn’s existing 83, bringing its total to 145. Therefore, Saturn is the first planet known to have more than 100 moons.
The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of warning. This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms.
The explosive event labeled AT2021lwx was observed to be ten times brighter than any known supernova. This thing we have never, ever seen before – it just came out of nowhere.
In a new research scientists observed a repeating fast radio burst for more than a year and discovered signs it is surrounded by a strong but highly changeable magnetic field.
To build the pangenome, scientists used data from the 1000 Genomes Project, which included participants from across ethnic groups. The development is a landmark in genomics.
There’s a celestial body in the galaxy messier 82also known as the Cigar Galaxywhich emits 10 million times more light than the Sun. According to the laws of Physics,this is only possible if the body is about to explode.
Scientists have observed a star swallowing a planet for the first time. Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years.
For the first time, surgeons have successfully repaired a major malformation in the brain of a fetus.
This might represent a fundamental breakthrough in our quest to slow the inevitable march of time.
For the first time ever, we were able to identify the chemical traces of the explosions of the first stars in very distant gas clouds.
That brings the total to 43,454 undersea mountains, almost doubling the number we knew about.
