Super-Earth formation is restricted to areas around Metal-poor Stars
In a new study, astronomers report novel evidence regarding the limits of planet formation, finding that after a certain point, planets larger than Earth have…

Physicists Investigate the potential of Life outside Earth
Are there planets beyond Earth where humans can live? The answer is maybe, according to a new study from University of Texas at Arlington physicists…
Researchers disprove the Hypothesis that Venus originally had Liquid Water on its Surface
A team of astronomers has found that Venus has never been habitable, despite decades of speculation that our closest planetary neighbour was once much more…
Planets are formed by a Domino Effect
New radio astronomy observations of a planetary system in the process of forming show that once the first planets form close to the central star,…
Neutron Stars could be Surrounded by Axions
A team of physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton and Oxford have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large…
Cosmological Gravity Research based on Einstein’s General Relativity Theory
Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands…
A Nearby Supernova may Terminate the Search for Dark Matter
Axions are the most likely candidate for enigmatic dark matter that dominates the universe. Astrophysicists are searching for evidence of high-mass axions produced during supernovae.…
At Jupiter’s Poles, a Magnetic Tornado is Agitating the Haze
Dark ovals in Jupiter’s polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A new study shows that these…
A Study on Universe Expansion validates the Cosmic Theory’s Challenge
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that a new feature in the universe — not a flaw in telescope measurements — may…
26,000 Dead Star Surveys validate important aspects of extreme Stellar Activity
A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying stars: Hotter white dwarfs are…
Electron Dance Calculated from the Brightness of Erupting Neutron Stars
The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black…
Light Echoes are used by Astrophysicists to Illuminate Black Holes
A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to search for black hole light echoes.…
