Watch dead neutron stars smash together in new NASA supercomputer simulation
"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, and modeled potentially observable high-energy signals."
Star Trek needs to go back to 20+ episode seasons — and there's never been a better time
It is time for Star Trek to boldly go where no streaming series has gone before: back to the 20+ episode seasons of old!
Cosmic Collision: The JWST Found An Early 5-Galaxy Merger
The JWST has spotted a system of five merging, interacting galaxies only about 800 million years post Big-Bang. This is sooner than astronomers thought, and is another example of the powerful space telescope forcing us to reconsider our understanding of the early Universe.
Photographer captures rare aurora over Brazil during intense geomagnetic storm (photo)
On Jan. 19, a powerful geomagnetic storm pushed auroral activity far beyond its usual range, allowing this exceptional sighting over Brazil.
Astronomers relieved as industrial plant threatening Earth's darkest sky gets cancelled
A light-polluting green hydrogen plant project that would seriously affect one of the world's most important astronomical observatories has been scrapped by the company behind it.

Is Jupiter on a diet? New measurements say it's smaller than we thought
Jupiter may be a bit more petite than expected, and that could have a big impact on how scientists model the mysterious interior of the giant planet.
Neutron Scans Reveal Hidden Water in Famous Martian Meteorite
New tools unlock new discoveries in science. So when a new type of non-destructive technology becomes widely available, it's inevitable that planetary scientists will get their hands on it to test it on some meteorites. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv, by Estrid Naver of the Technical University of Denmark and her co-authors, describes the use of two of those (relatively) new tools to one of the most famous meteorites in the world - NWA 7034 - also known as Black Beauty.
A 'cold Earth' exoplanet just 146 light-years away might be in its star's habitable zone — if it exists
The planet is one of the best worlds for follow-up studies to determine whether it could be habitable or not.

Researchers Conduct the Largest Study of Runaway Stars in the Milky Way
In the early 1960s, Dutch astronomer Adriaan Blaauw observed stars moving at unusually high speeds moving through the Milky Way. These stars, as it turned out, were unbound objects that had been kicked out of the Milky Way and periodically looped back and forth through the disk. Blaauw proposed that these stars originated in binary systems and were ejected when the companion star collapsed and exploded off its outer layers in a supernova. By 2005, even faster runaway stars were observed, leading to the designation "hypervelocity stars."
NASA had 3 years to fix fuel leaks on its Artemis moon rocket. Why are they still happening?
NASA stopped short of completing a critical fuel test for its Artemis 2 SLS rocket because of hydrogen leaks that sound a lot like the problems they had during Artemis 1.
