Scientists Find the Origin of a Mysterious Fast Radio Burst With a Unique Technique
Researchers have pinpointed the origin of fast radio burst FRB 20221022A to within 10,000 kilometres of a neutron star. Using scintillation analysis, a team from MIT determined that the burst emerged from the magnetosphere, a highly magnetic and chaotic environment surrounding the star. This discovery marks the first conclusive evidence of FRBs ori...

Red Giant XX Trianguli Has Massive Starspots, Dubbed the 'Most Spotted Star in the Sky'
Massive starspots have been observed on the red giant star XX Trianguli, located 630 light-years from Earth. These starspots, larger than the sun's entire surface, make XX Trianguli the "most spotted star in the sky." Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam and HUN-REN RCAES discovered that the star's internal magnetic dynam...

Sun’s Magnetic Activity Is Making It Difficult to Gauge Its True Age, Study Finds
Astronomers have traditionally relied on helioseismology to estimate the Sun's age by analysing the vibrations that ripple through its interior. However, recent research has uncovered a significant obstacle, the Sun's magnetic activity, which follows an 11-year cycle, appears to be distorting these measurements. Data from the Birmingham Solar Oscil...

Sun's Magnetic Field May Originate Closer To Solar Surface: Study
The sun's magnetic field, which causes solar storms like the one that hit Earth this month and produced beautiful auroras, may originate at shallower depths in the star's interior than previously thought, according to researchers.

Astronomers Unravel The Mystery Of 'Dragon's Egg' Nebula
Two large stars residing inside a spectacular cloud of gas and dust nicknamed the "Dragon's Egg" nebula have presented a puzzle to astronomers. One of them has a magnetic field, as does our sun. Its companion does not.

NASA's X-Ray Telescopes Capture Mysterious 'Ghost Hand' In Space
NASA's new X-ray telescope observed the haunting 'bones' of a ghostly cosmic hand 16,000 light-years from Earth for a record 17 days.

Researchers Propose New Method to Find Planets Beyond Our Solar System
In s new study, researchers have tried to unravel what the signal from aJupiter-like planet be like. They have developed a model of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and applied it to a planetary system called HD 189733. They have simulated the interaction between the star's stellar wind and the planet's magnetic field and performed calculations around th...

China's Insight-HXMT Records Strongest Magnetic Field in Universe, Measuring Over 1.6 Billion Tesla
The Insight-HXTM team has spotted a cyclotron absorption line in the neutron star X-ray binary Swift J0243.6+6124 having the energy of 146 keV. This was corresponding to a surface magnetic field with a magnitude of more than 1.6 billion Tesla.

Rare Exoplanets Orbiting Pulsars Searched in the Largest Survey Conducted by Researchers
In the latest research, astronomers from the University of Manchester have conducted the largest search for pulsar orbiting exoplanets. The survey included more than 800 pulsars which were analysed over the last 50 years. The researchers have tried to detect signals indicating the presence of planetary companions that had around 100 times more mass...

NASA and Star Wars: These Fictional Worlds From the Franchise Bear an Uncanny Resemblance to the Real World
While Hoth looks similar to Pluto, Mustafar shares resemblance with Venus. Geonosis, with rugged dry landscape in red hues, appears to be a look-alike of Mars. Endor's appearance seems to have taken inspiration from one of the Jupiter's largest moons, Ganymede.

Nearby Red Dwarf Star 'AD Leonis' With Massive Solar Flares Spotted
Astronomers have captured a red dwarf star called AD Leonis that is found to have massive flares — one of them was even 20 times larger than the solar flares emitted by our own Sun. The star is just 16 light-years away from Earth.
