An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction.

Episolon Indi is a trio of stars, which is a complicated situation already — but two of them aren’t even real stars; they’re brown dwarfs, objects just a smidgeon too small to be stars, but several smidgeons too big to be planets. And now the system boasts an enormous gas giant in its outskirts, where astronomers didn’t expect it to be.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Aliens on Mars have not yet been found — but signs that the Red Planet hosted life billions of years ago have, NASA said Thursday.

The space agency’s Perseverance rover found a spot-covered rock Sunday that may hold clues as to whether Mars is — or was — a hospitable planet.

Lovingly nicknamed Cheyava Falls after a Grand Canyon waterfall, the “vein-filled” arrowhead-shaped rock apparently contains organic compounds, implying it may have hosted microbial life when water flowed across Mars.

New hints about the origins of the universe’s elements have been revealed by stars from the Large Magellanic Cloud. The universe was forever changed by the first generation of stars. Within their cores, basic hydrogen and helium fused into a diverse array of elements. When these stars met their end, they exploded, scattering these new elements throughout the cosmos. The iron in your veins, the calcium in your teeth, and the sodium powering your thoughts were all born in the heart of a long-dead star.
