Physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton, and Oxford have uncovered evidence that extremely light particles, known as axions, may form large clouds around neutron stars. These particles could help explain dark matter, one of the greatest mysteries in physics, and might even be detectable with current technology.
The new research, published in 'Physical Review X', builds on

Martian ice deposits may hold conditions suitable for photosynthetic life, according to a recent study published in 'Communications Earth and Environment'. The research suggests that regions of exposed ice in the mid-latitudes of Mars could offer a protective environment for microbial life, shielding it from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation while still allowing enough light for photosynthesis

Scientists believe they could have pinpointed the age of the Moon's largest and oldest impact basin to over 4.32 billion years ago.
Like Earth, the Moon has been struck by numerous asteroids and comets, creating craters and basins. However, determining the exact timing of these impacts, especially the age of the Moon's oldest and largest basin, has been challenging - until now.

An enduring mystery surrounding the first discovered brown dwarf, Gliese 229B, has finally been unraveled by astronomers from Caltech. Despite having been studied extensively since its discovery in 1995, the brown dwarf's faintness for its estimated mass of 70 times that of Jupiter left researchers puzzled.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a vivid and captivating close-up of R Aquarii, a binary star system located about 700 light-years from Earth. The system's chaotic eruptions create vast spirals of glowing gas, resembling a frenzied lawn sprinkler, and showcase the universe's process of recycling nuclear material expelled by stars.
