| Posted: 10 Feb 2022 09:58 AM PST Researchers have discovered a new clue in the search for the origin of life by showing that peptides can form on dust under conditions such as those prevailing in outer space. These molecules, which are one of the basic building blocks of all life, may therefore not have originated on our planet at all, but possibly in cosmic molecular clouds. |
| Future gravitational wave detector in space could uncover secrets of the Universe Posted: 10 Feb 2022 09:58 AM PST New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe. |
| New planet detected around Proxima Centauri, closest star our solar system Posted: 10 Feb 2022 05:50 AM PST Astronomers have found evidence of another planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System. This candidate planet is the third detected in the system and the lightest yet discovered orbiting this star. At just a quarter of Earth's mass, the planet is also one of the lightest exoplanets ever found. |
| Debris from disintegrating planets hurtling into white dwarfs across the galaxy Posted: 10 Feb 2022 05:50 AM PST The moment that debris from destroyed planets impacts the surface of a white dwarf star has been observed. Astronomers saw X-rays from planetary debris heated to a million degrees as it fell onto the dead core of its host star. |
| Surprisingly high fraction of dead galaxies found in ancient galactic city Posted: 09 Feb 2022 12:49 PM PST Astronomers have discovered an unusual massive cluster of young galaxies forming in the early universe. The newly discovered growing galactic metropolis, named MAGAZ3NE J095924+022537, is a newborn galaxy cluster, or protocluster, consisting of at least 38 member galaxies, and is about 11.8 billion light-years away from Earth. |
