Abstract : Context. G189.6+03.3 and IC443 are two examples of supernova remnants located in a region rich of gas and dust, spatially close to the HII region S249. So far, the actual shape of IC443 is…
Using the Tsinghua University–Ma Huateng Telescopes for Survey (TMTS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new binary known as TMTS J052610.43+593445.1. The newfound system is an ultrashort-orbital-period binary consisting of a subdwarf star…

Scientists from Chalmers University reveal new details about star-formation in two early-universe galaxies, offering unprecedented insights into the universe's early stages.
SpaceX conducted a static fire test of their 'Flight 3' Starship on Dec. 30, 2023. It was the second test fire of the rocket. SpaceX also fired up their Supe...
University of Maine and Penn State researchers have discovered a new mechanism for non-reciprocal molecular interactions, termed 'kinetic asymmetry'. This discovery could reshape our understanding of molecular interactions and their role in evolution.
Solar storms occur when the Sun gets extra active, affecting Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. Read below to find out what are solar storms, what causes them and how it can affect our planet.
At long last, the final journey of the last space shuttle ever built, Endeavour, and its giant orange external tank are expected to begin this month — the capstone to a historic journey to an ambitious museum exhibit in Los Angeles.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest, most powerful and most complex telescope ever launched into space. Since its launch on December 25, 2021, the telescope has played a crucial role in expanding our understanding of the universe.
Plant roots can respond to the environment by modifying cell type development. Here, the molecular pathways controlling root exodermal suberin are defined, as is its role in drought response. Modulating exodermal suberin levels can be a target for improved pl…
SpaceX was just short of its own unofficial 100 rocket launch target in 2023, achieving 98 launches overall. The 2024 target is (again unofficial) of about 130-
