Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

Is the Wheel of Ghosts an Ancient Observatory? New Study Suggests Otherwise
The ancient Rujm el-Hiri site, known as the "Wheel of Ghosts," has long been thought to serve as an astronomical observatory. However, a recent study published in Remote Sensing raises questions about this theory, suggesting that geodynamic changes over millions of years have altered its alignment. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurio...
