New Study Challenges Planet Formation Models with PDS 70b’s Chemical Mystery

#news #newstoday #tech #technews #latestnews #techupdates #newsupdates New research on PDS 70b, a forming exoplanet located approximately 400 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus, suggests that prevailing models of planet formation may require revision. According to a study published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, astronomers found a mismatch between the chemical…

New Research Explains Zebra Pattern in Radio Waves from Crab Nebula

New Research Explains Zebra Pattern in Radio Waves from Crab Nebula

A puzzling ‘zebra’ pattern in high-frequency radio waves emitted by the Crab Nebula’s pulsar might finally have an explanation, according to new research by Mikhail Medvedev, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kansas. This unique pattern, characterized by unusual frequency-based band spacing, has intrigued astrophysicists since its…

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious ‘Knots’ Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious ‘Knots’ Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets

A recent study of black hole jets from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has identified bright formations or “knots” in these jets, with each showing unexpected variations in speed. This analysis, led by David Bogensberger, an astrophysicist at the University of Michigan, examined decades-old Chandra data on the supermassive black hole…

Two Black Holes With Unusual Behaviour Disrupt Traditional Theories About Their Formation

Two Black Holes With Unusual Behaviour Disrupt Traditional Theories About Their Formation

Astronomers are watching two unusual black holes, each presenting phenomena that challenge current understanding of these cosmic giants. One, a “serial killer” black hole, is about to devour its second star within five years, while the other, part of the newly discovered triple system V404 Cygni, has disrupted long-held theories…

Advanced Alien Civilisations Could Self-Destruct Through Climate Change, Claims New Study

Advanced Alien Civilisations Could Self-Destruct Through Climate Change, Claims New Study

A recent study by astrophysicists suggests that advanced alien civilisations might only have a thousand years before their planets become uninhabitable due to climate change. This alarming finding stems from simulations exploring the trajectory of technological growth and energy consumption of these hypothetical societies. Even those relying on renewable energy…
