Brown Dwarf Merger Could Create a New Star, Astronomers Discover
Astronomers have discovered a rare brown dwarf binary system undergoing mass transfer with an ultra-short orbit. The pair could either merge or gain enough mass to ignite fusion, potentially forming a new star and redefining how “failed stars” evolve.

NASA Tests Nuclear Rocket Engine Designed for Faster Deep-Space Missions
NASA has completed its first full-scale nuclear rocket reactor tests since the 1960s, marking a major milestone for deep-space propulsion. More than 100 cold-flow tests validated hydrogen flow and system stability. Nuclear thermal rockets could significantly reduce travel time, radiation exposure, and payload constraints for future Moon and Mars mi...
