NASA and JAXA’s XRISM Mission Captures Detailed Data from X-Ray Emitting Wolf-Rayet Star
NASA and JAXA’s XRISM mission recently produced a detailed analysis of Cygnus X-3, a high-mass binary system containing a Wolf-Rayet star and a likely black hole. Using high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy, scientists observed intricate gas dynamics involving the star’s stellar winds and interactions with its companion.

NASA Develops High-Powered Tiny Laser for Detecting Water on Moon
An engineer, from the US space agency NASA, has developed a tiny yet high-powered laser that can help locate water sources on our Lunar neighbour. This laser can be used to develop an instrument called a heterodyne spectrometer, which would be capable of zooming in on particular frequencies and confirming the presence of water on the surface of the...

Neutron Star Becomes Heaviest Celestial Object With 2.35 Times Mass of Sun
Researchers have recently observed a collapsed dense neutron star shredding and devouring its stellar companion to become one of the heaviest neutron stars ever spotted. The star has a mass 2.35 times that of the Sun and spins at a speed of 707 rounds per second. The finding may now give astronomers an insight into the weird quantum state of matter...
