With powerful stellar winds and blazing hot radiation, dozens of young stars have spent the last million years carving a vaguely heart-shaped bubble in surrounding clouds of interstellar dust — just in time for a sentient species to arise on a small planet 7,500 light...by sagesgroup | Dec 30, 2022 | A1, Astronomy, Astrophysics, exoplanets, kepler, Planets, Science, Space Science
In a star system 2,600 light years away, a Jupiter-like exoplanet called Kepler-1658b is spiraling toward a fiery collision with its star, and it could shed light on the terrible fate that awaits our own cozy world. Astronomers would have remained blissfully ignorant...by sagesgroup | Dec 28, 2022 | A1, Astronomy, Astrophysics, ESA, Galaxies, hubble space telescope, NASA, Science, Space Science
ESO 415-19 is a galaxy with a past, but we’re not here to judge. At some point in its history, ESO 415-19 had a close encounter with another galaxy, and it’s never been the same since. The gravity from that passing galaxy drew parts of ESO 415-19 outward into long,...by sagesgroup | Dec 1, 2022 | A1, Astrophysics, Black Holes, Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Science
A group of physicists just built a tiny model of a wormhole on a quantum computer and sent a qubit — a quantum unit of information — through it. It’s a tiny step, but it could be the first step toward not only teleportation, but resolving the differences between the...
