New Wild Study Reveals Neutron Stars Are Actually Like A Box Of Chocolates

New Wild Study Reveals Neutron Stars Are Actually Like A Box Of Chocolates

Life isn’t really like a box of chocolates, but it seems like something exists. Neutron stars – some of the densest objects in the Universe – can have structures very similar to chocolates, with gooey or hard centers. The kinds of particle configurations that make up these centers are still unknown, but new theoretical work …

Study of 'polluted' white dwarfs reveals interesting facts about planet formation

Study of ‘polluted’ white dwarfs reveals interesting facts about planet formation

A team of astronomers from the University of Cambridge have found that the formation of planets in our young solar system began much earlier than previously thought, with the building blocks of planets developing alongside their parent star. A study of some of the oldest stars in the Universe suggests that the formation of early …

Star Spaghettification Black Hole

Undetected black hole reveals itself by violently shredding a star that got too close

This animation depicts a star undergoing spaghettification as it is sucked into a black hole during a “tidal disturbance event”. Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser Scientists hope to improve their understanding of the growth of supermassive black holes in massive galaxies by studying intermediate-mass black holes. After hovering undetected in a dwarf galaxy, an intermediate-mass galaxy black …
