Astronomers studying a distant superluminous supernova uncovered a strange pattern hidden in its light: a rapidly accelerating “chirp.” For decades, astronomers have used distant supernova explosions as cosmic beacons to study fundamental physics and measure properties of the universe. While examining one such event, Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara, noticed […]

Scientists Say This Hellish “Day-Night” Planet May Support Life
A new study suggests that even the most extreme exoplanets might not be entirely inhospitable. Slightly larger than Earth, the exoplanet LHS 3844b circles a small red dwarf star called LHS 3884, about 48.5 light-years away. Unlike Earth, it does not experience sunrise or sunset. The planet is tidally locked, so one hemisphere always faces […]
Record-Breaking Porcelain Collection Found in Singapore’s First Ancient Shipwreck
A shipwreck beneath Singapore’s waters is reshaping what is known about Yuan-era trade. A maritime dig in Singapore’s waters has revealed the Temasek Wreck, a discovery that is both unprecedented locally and important worldwide for Yuan dynasty ceramics. Excavations carried out between 2016 and 2019 recovered about 3.5 tons (approximately 7,700 pounds) of ceramic fragments, […]

Ancient DNA Reveals Medieval Secret Hidden Inside a 5,000-Year-Old Spanish Monument
Ancient DNA from a medieval burial inside a Neolithic monument reveals unexpected ancestry links and hnbsints that the site’s significance endured far longer than once believed. Researchers are using ancient DNA to uncover a surprising new chapter in the history of one of Spain’s most famous prehistoric monuments. The ATLAS Research Group at the University […]
