Euclid Space Telescope Discovers Rare Einstein Ring, Revealing Dark Matter Secrets
The Euclid space telescope has detected a rare Einstein ring around galaxy NGC 6505, located approximately 590 million light-years from Earth. This phenomenon, resulting from gravitational lensing, allows scientists to study the distribution of dark matter within the lensing galaxy. The discovery aligns with Euclid's mission to map cosmic structure...

Evidence of Massive Solar Storm Strike on Earth 2,700 Years Ago Discovered in Tree Rings
Researchers from the University of Arizona have uncovered evidence of a powerful solar storm that occurred between 664 and 663 BCE, known as a Miyake Event. The discovery was made by analysing radiocarbon spikes in ancient tree rings, which act as natural records of past solar activity. These rare events, first identified in 2012, occur when solar ...

Ancient Rare Ring Belonging to ‘Painted People’ Discovered in Scotland
A remarkable 1,000-year-old ring has been uncovered at the site of Burghead Fort in Scotland. The discovery was made by John Ralph, a retired engineer, on the final day of an archaeological dig. The kite-shaped ring, featuring a red centre, is an exceptional find as Pictish rings are rare and usually discovered in hoards. Dr Gordon Noble of the Uni...

Water Separates Into Two Different Liquids in Supercooled Conditions, Study Shows
A team of researchers have demonstrated that water splits into two different liquids under low temperatures. This new kind of phase transition in the water was first proposed in a study 30 years ago, and has now been demonstrated in a new study by a team from the University of Birmingham that used a computer simulation to show the high-density and ...

Scientists Find Out Why Jupiter Doesn't Have Glorious Rings Like Saturn
Scientists have uncovered why Jupiter does not have rings like its neighbouring planet Saturn. Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, ran a computer simulation of both Jupiter's orbits and the four main moons that surrounded it to understand why the giant gaseous planet is missing the hoops.

Astronomers Witness Mysterious Death of a Star Emitting 6 Rings of Smoke
Scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have discovered that V Hydrae, a dying star emitted a series of expanding smoke rings that are blown every few hundred years. The exact mechanism in which these intriguing “smoke rings” develop is still unknown.
