Astronomers might have a shot at imaging primordial black holes
Gravitational waves could be the key to imaging elusive primordial black holes born in the first moments of our Universe.
“Stellar paternity tests” link orphan stars to their parent clusters
Astronomers used the Gaia Space Telescope to say “you are the father” by tracing hot young stars back to their place of birth.
Astronomers track weather on an exoplanet that rains gemstones
The Hubble Space Telescope saw massive cyclones, storms, and weather chaos in the changing atmosphere of WASP-121b, a planet so hot it rains iron, sapphires, and rubies.
Neutron stars may be hiding quark matter in their cores
Massive neutron stars have such enormous pressure in their cores that neutrons residing there lose their integrity and become a new type of matter.
