Stargazers will soon witness a new star in the night sky as the binary star system T Corona Borealis (T CrB) is expected to undergo a nova eruption between now and September. This event will make T CrB, currently too faint to see with the naked eye, as bright as the Northern Star (Polaris), offering a temporary new star visible to much of the world, including the UK. b>Understanding

Scientists at the University of Warwick are utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze supernovae, the cosmic explosions of white dwarfs. Many stars end as white dwarfs, compact stars with the mass of the Sun but the size of Earth. Some white dwarfs explode as supernovae, releasing heavy elements like calcium and iron into the Universe, which are crucial for life. However, the exact

Have you ever played hide-and-seek in a new place? It's much harder than playing at home. You only know the obvious hiding spots: under the bed, in the closet, behind the couch. The trick is trying to think of hiding spots you can't even imagine. How do you search in places you never thought could be hiding spots? That is kind of what scientists like me do when we look for alien life; we'r

Skoltech scientists and their Chinese colleagues have identified conditions that could support the existence of a unique ion, termed aquodiium. This ion, described as a water molecule with two additional protons, could be stable inside Uranus and Neptune and may play a role in their unusual magnetic fields. The research was published in Physical Review B. The magnetic fields of Uranus and
