Deep-Sea Beryllium-10 Hints at Supernova Debris Reaching Earth 10 Million Years Ago
A new study has uncovered deep-sea evidence suggesting Earth may have been struck by debris from a nearby exploding star 10 million years ago. Scientists found unusually high levels of Beryllium-10 in Pacific crusts, consistent with a supernova origin. The findings could transform understanding of cosmic influences on Earth’s history, though terr...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory to Detect Millions of Exploding Stars
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) later this year, will track millions of Type Ia supernovae to advance our understanding of dark energy. These supernovae, resulting from white dwarf stars in binary systems, will be studied in detail to provide crucial data on the universe’s acceleratin...

NASA Citizen Scientists Discover Mysterious Object Moving out of Milky Way at an Extremely High Speed
On August 15, 2024, NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project, featuring the contributions of dedicated citizen scientists, made a groundbreaking discovery: an object moving at an astonishing speed of 1 million miles per hour, which will soon escape the gravitational pull of the Milky Way. This hypervelocity object, catalogued as CWISE J124909.08+...

Perlmutter, Schmidt, Riess win Nobel physics prize
Three U.S.-born scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for a study of exploding stars that discovered that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said American Saul Perlmutter would share the 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) award with U.S.-Australian Brian Schmidt and U.S. scientist Adam ...
