Columbus, OH

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. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory have revealed that the peculiar characteristics of the HD 148937 star system, including a magnetic star and its young appearance, are due to the merger of two stars from an original group of three. This event also formed the surrounding nebula, providing crucial evidence on how massive stars can develop magnetic fields.

It seems that we're finally locating at least some of the Universe's 'missing' black holes. A cluster of stars called IRS 13 near the center of the galaxy seems to harbor a black hole in its midst. Moreover, the way these stars swarm and orbit suggest that the black hole is a rarity – one in the middleweight mass range, between those that have a star-like mass and the supermassive monsters.

There are eight planets in our solar system – plus poor old Pluto, which was demoted in 2006 – but what if there were more?Turns out that might be the case. Astronomers have calculated there is a 7 per cent chance that Earth has another neighbour hiding in the Oort cloud, a spherical region of ice chunks and rocks that is tens of thousands of times farther from the sun than we are.“It’s completely plausible for our solar system to have captured such an Oort cloud planet,” said Nathan Kaib, a co-author on the work and an astronomer at the...

Researchers have discovered that Rembrandt used special arsenic sulfide pigments to create a ‘golden’ paint in “The Night Watch.”. Chemists at the Rijksmuseum and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) have, for the first time, determined how Rembrandt used special arsenic sulfide pigments to create a ‘golden’ paint effect. Utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques, they mapped the presence of pararealgar (yellow) and semi-amorphous pararealgar (orange/red) pigments in intricate detail in his renowned painting, The Night Watch.
