Scientists may have just caught 7 exotic ‘ghost particles’ as they pierced through Earth
– Scientists using the IceCube observatory at the South Pole say they have detected 7 candidate astrophysical tau neutrino events. – Tau neutrinos are exotic “ghost particles” that are very rarely detected due to their low interaction rate. – IceCube detected the neutrino signals using strings of digital optical sensors buried deep within the Antarctic […]

Dark Energy Camera captures record-breaking image of a dead star’s scattered remains
The Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Blanco Telescope in Chile captured a record 1.3 gigapixel image of the Vela supernova remnant, the scattered remains of a star that exploded about 11,000 years ago. The image shows billowing tendrils of dust and gas filaments stretching across 100 light-years. It is the largest image ever released […]
Scientists find black hole spaghettifying star remarkably close to Earth
Scientists have discovered the closest visible-light observation yet of a supermassive black hole tearing apart and consuming a star, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE). The TDE occurred in the galaxy NGC 3799, located around 160 million light years from Earth. A black hole with a mass of around 1 million suns is responsible. […]
Starship’s 3rd-launch success: Rocket finally soared to space without blowing up, but SpaceX lost it on reentry
SpaceX successfully launched its Starship rocket into orbit for the first time on March 14th, 2024. However, it lost communication with the rocket during its reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.

The theory dates back to a 1996 military paper discussing weather modification, though the military says it doesn’t reflect actual policy. Belief spread on social media […]
Scientists Intrigued by Water Planet Where Ocean Appears to Be Boiling
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a planet called TOI-270 d orbiting a red dwarf star about 70 light years from Earth. Initial analysis found TOI-270 d has a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and could be a “Hycean world” – a planet entirely covered by a large ocean. However, the estimated temperature of the potential […]
The blue dragons season is upon us, but researchers remind beachgoers to think twice before touching them
