NASA's Webb telescope finds exoplanet with potential signs of life
Along with methane and carbon dioxide, the James Webb Telescope also discovered a molecule known as dimethyl sulphide (DMS), a substance only produced by living things.
Black hole is observed snacking on sun-like star, bite by bite
This marked the first time that scientists had observed a sun-like star being repeatedly snacked upon by a supermassive black hole.
Black holes may be causing mature galaxies to stop producing new stars
Scientists have long suggested that the supermassive black holes in these galaxies are interacting with the gas clouds to prev
Mud on Mars shows evidence of wet-dry cycles that support life
A new discovery shows how the distinctive pattern of mud cracks on Mars offer the first real evidence of wet-dry cycles that could support life.
Scientists spot edge of supermassive black hole for first time accidentally - study
Supermassive black holes sit at the center of many galaxies and are often surrounded by accretion disks that they feed on. Scientists observed a previously unexplored region near one – by accident.
