Mysterious Cosmos: Astronomers Discover Stars that Appear to be Older than the Universe
If you understand how stars work, you can observe the physical properties of one of them and extrapolate its age, and know when it had to have been born. Stars undergo a lot of changes as they age: their radius, luminosity, and temperature all evolve as they burn through their fuel. But a star’s lifespan, in general, is dependent on … Continue reading

Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Stars Forming Just After the Big Bang
A natural magnifying glass has sharpened images captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, revealing a distant galaxy that contradicts existing theories about early star formation. By pairing Hubble with a massive galaxy cluster, scientists captured images 10 times sharper than the space telescope could snap on its own. The resulting images reveal star-forming knots of newborn stars only 200 to … Continue reading
Scientist Discover Cosmic ‘Spider Web’ That Traverses Unimaginably Huge Spaces
SCIENTISTS have made a huge breakthrough in their understanding of the mysterious dark matter after discovering a stunning cosmic web which fills the entire universe. Dark matter baffles even the brainiest boffins who still struggle to explain exactly what it is. Dark matter was first conceptualised in 1977 by scientists who suggested that the substance, which is thought to make … Continue reading
16 Stars To Pass the ‘Oort Cloud’, Could Fire Cosmic Matter Throughout Our Galaxy
Star trajectory numbers published in a new study suggest that up to 16 stars could come close enough to our galaxy to send potentially dangerous cosmic matter, like comets, crashing into Earth. The prospect of unsettled space material smashing into our planet is enough of a fear for agencies like NASA to start ramping up planetary defense systems. The US … Continue reading
