Study Reveals The Sun Contains More Silver Than Scientists Previously Thought
The researchers found that these effects could explain why astronomers had been measuring less silver than expected.

Scientists Discover Giant Planet Formation Around Supermassive Black Holes
New research suggests that supermassive black holes may host the formation of giant planets within their surrounding dusty disks.

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their centr...

Tiny Plasma Jets on Sun Identified as Key Drivers of Solar Wind
Observations from ESA’s Solar Orbiter have revealed that tiny plasma jets, known as picoflares, are responsible for both the fast and slow components of the solar wind. The discovery challenges previous assumptions that different mechanisms drive these solar wind types. With further research, scientists hope to refine space weather predictions, p...

'Universe is Slowly Dying,' Say Australian Researchers
The universe is dying but there is no need to panic as there is still about 100 billion years to go, reveals a group of Australian researchers.

Dead Galaxies May Be Packed With Dark Matter: Study
Galaxies in a cluster roughly 300 million light years from Earth could contain 100 times more dark matter than visible matter, a new study has found.
