Watch 2 Gorgeous Supernova Remnants Evolve Over 20 Years.

When we picture what’s in deep space, we often think of static images — colorful composites of distant objects like nebulas and galaxies, frozen in time. The reality is that everything is moving, and it’s moving fast. But given the vast distances involved, it’s hard for us to see that motion. NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory,

Exploding Stars Send Out Powerful Bursts Of Energy.

Amy Lien is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Tampa whose research interests lie in understanding how the universe begins and evolves through the most energetic astrophysical explosions: gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), supernovas, merging neutron stars and black holes. When faraway stars explode, they send out flashes of energy called gamma-ray bursts that

Satellites Spot Clusters Of ‘Spiders’ Sprawled Across Mars’ Inca City.

Seasonal, spider-like features have been spotted sprouting through cracks in Mars’ surface. The European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter captured new images of small, dark features that resemble spiders scuttling across the Martian region known as Inca City near the Red Planet‘s south pole. This phenomenon appears when spring sunlight warms layers of carbon dioxide

James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Some Early Universe Galaxies Grew Up Surprisingly Fast.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have discovered that early universe galaxies must have grown up way faster than expected. Plus, the same team also found that, 10 billion years ago, the cosmos wasn’t quite as disordered and chaotic as previously believed. The international team, led by researchers from Durham University in the U.K.,

Russian Cosmonauts Make Quick Work Of Space Station Spacewalk.

Two Russian cosmonauts completed a spacewalk at the International Space Station and more than completed all their tasks, including the radar deployment they started last year. Expedition 71 crew members Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub successfully deployed and locked the fourth of four panels for a synthetic radar communications system on Russia’s Nauka multifunction laboratory

NASA’s Fermi Space Telescope Finds a Strange Supernova With Missing Gamma Rays.

While examining a nearby supernova with NASA’s Fermi gamma-ray space telescope, an effort meant to discover how these stellar explosions ignite charged particles called cosmic rays, scientists have uncovered a bigger mystery. The team found the supernova, designated SN 2023ixf, to be completely lacking the gamma-ray emissions that should be present when cosmic ray particles
