James Webb Telescope Captures Neptune’s Auroras in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first-ever direct images of Neptune’s auroras, revealing surprising details about the ice giant’s atmosphere. Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H...

New Research Suggests Dark Energy Is Evolving, Challenging Cosmology Models
New research from the DESI project suggests that dark energy, once thought to be a constant force, may actually be changing over time. This challenges long-held cosmological models that assume a stable influence of dark energy on the universe’s expansion. By mapping 15 million galaxies, DESI’s data raises new questions about cosmic evolution. S...

New Study Reveals How Pulsars Help Measure Dark Matter in the Milky Way
A breakthrough study has used pulsar acceleration data to measure dark matter density in the Milky Way. Previously, binary pulsars were the primary source of data, but now solitary pulsars have been included, doubling the dataset. The research also provides evidence of the Milky Way’s "wobble" due to interactions with dwarf galaxies. By mapping t...

Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...
