Mysterious Icy Objects Found in Milky Way Baffle Astronomers: Everything You Need to Know
Astronomers have identified mysterious icy objects in the outer Milky Way, raising questions about their nature. These structures, composed of ice and gas, are located in a region where star formation is rare. Despite early detections dating back to 2006-2011, recent observations using the AKARI space telescope and the ALMA array in Chile have prov...

Dark Matter Mass Limits Linked to Higgs Boson Interactions
Efforts to unravel dark matter's mysteries have revealed a potential mass limitation due to its interaction with the Higgs boson. A new study suggests that dark matter particles exceeding a few thousand giga-electron volts (GeV) could disrupt the Higgs boson, altering fundamental physical laws. This finding challenges the Standard Model and prompts...

Zombie Star’s Mysterious Spiky Filaments Baffle Astronomers in New Discovery
A zombie star remnant, Pa 30, located 6,500 light-years from Earth, is surrounded by spiky filaments that have baffled astronomers. These filaments, observed for centuries, continue to puzzle scientists, as their formation and long-term stability remain unclear. The star's explosion in 1181 was initially noted by skywatchers, but its remnant struct...

Scientists Uncover 'Sunken Worlds' Deep in Earth’s Mantle, Defying Geological Expectations
A new study has uncovered unusual anomalies deep within Earth's mantle, resembling sunken crustal slabs in unexpected locations. Using advanced full-waveform inversion, scientists were able to map these structures, revealing hidden patterns that challenge current geological understanding. These anomalies were discovered far from tectonic activity z...

Scientists Investigate Hypernuclei To Understand Subatomic Forces and Neutron Stars
A groundbreaking study on hypernuclei, led by Ulf-G. Meißner from the Institute for Advanced Simulation, uses nuclear lattice effective field theory to explore the interactions of Λ-hyperons within atomic nuclei. The research, published in The European Physical Journal A, provides key insights into the forces that shape hypernuclei and their pote...

Hubble Captures Closest View of Quasar 3C 273, Revealing Mysterious Structures
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided an unprecedented view of quasar 3C 273, one of the brightest objects in the universe, unveiling mysterious features near its core. These include an L-shaped structure and blobs, likely smaller galaxies feeding the quasar’s black hole. The discovery also highlights a massive jet spanning 300,000 light-years ...

Hubble Offers Closest Look at Quasar 3C 273, Reveal Hidden Structures
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured unprecedented views of quasar 3C 273, located 2.5 billion light-years away. Using the STIS coronagraph, researchers uncovered unusual structures around the black hole, including an extragalactic jet and a mysterious L-shaped filament. The findings hint at galaxy interactions fuelling the quasar’s activ...

5,000-Year-Old Relics Discovered in Iraq Suggest a Mysterious Early Government Collapse
A recent study on 5,000-year-old clay bowls discovered in Iraq provides evidence of early governance systems in Mesopotamia. Excavations at Shakhi Kora revealed artifacts and structures associated with centralised labour management, including beveled-rim bowls thought to be used for distributing meals in return for work. Researchers suggest the sit...

Mysterious Scar-Like Structure in Australia Might Have Been Caused by a Rare Tornado
A previously unknown tornado was discovered in Australia’s Nullarbor Plain by a caver using Google Earth. Researchers traced the scar, which extends over 11 kilometres, back to a November 2022 storm that brought intense winds and rainfall. The tornado, likely F2 or F3 in strength, left distinct marks on the landscape, still visible due to sparse ...

Neolithic Stone Circles Discovered in England Could Solve the Stonehenge Mystery: Report
Two Neolithic stone circles were recently discovered on Dartmoor, England. Alan Endacott, archaeologist, suggests these sites, one named Metheral and the other Irishman’s Wall, were part of a 5-mile ceremonial arc from 5,000 years ago. The findings highlight the cultural and spiritual significance of Dartmoor's uplands in prehistoric times. Simil...
