(Natural News) Researchers using one of the world’s largest arrays of radio telescope have found thousands of mysterious strand-like structures while looking into the center of the Milky Way. These structures, which are also called radio filaments, pop out of the galactic center in long, thin tendrils that expand up to 150 light-years long or nearly 40 times […]

(Natural News) Small “snowflakes” of radioactive uranium that trigger massive nuclear blasts in space could help explain some of the universe’s more bizarre star explosions. According to theoretical physicist Matt Caplan, it is important to understand how these explosions occur for all sorts of applications, from the production of elements to the expansion of the universe. Caplan studies astromaterials – the […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the College of Charleston in South Carolina and the Michigan Technological University have observed a strange emission pattern in gamma-ray bursts. In a study published in the Astrophysical Journal, the researchers said that gamma-ray bursts display a series of smaller peaks in brightness that occur before and after one big peak. If the pattern is “folded” over at the main peak […]

(Natural News) Astronomers are scratching their heads over ghostly blobs of radio emissions found floating in space last year. Ray Norris of Western Sydney University said that the mysterious blobs, which were dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORCs), weren’t quite like anything known before. “[We ran] through all the possibilities and conclude these enigmatic blobs don’t […]

(Natural News) A hypothetical form of black holes gets a second look after researchers from the University of Hawai?i at M?noa corrected a subtle error on previous models simulating the expansion of the universe. Scientists call this “black hole” General Object of Dark Energy (GEODE): It looks like a black hole from the outside but is […]

(Natural News) The solar system has been traveling through the remains of exploded stars for at least 33,000 years, suggests a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Earth is currently passing through a field of debris called the local interstellar cloud. This debris field is composed of the remnants […]

(Natural News) A massive dying star disappeared in 2019 without leaving any trace. Clues to its sudden absence led an international team of astrophysicists to theorize that the old star may have been obscured by a giant cloud of dust. Otherwise, said the scientists, it could have turned into a black hole without going supernova – […]

(Natural News) The Earth is flying through a cloud of radioactive debris left behind by an ancient supernova explosion, according to a new report by scientists looking at our oceans. A team from the Australian National University (ANU) has made this conclusion after studying radioactive dust found at the bottom of our oceans. While this dust is in […]

(Natural News) A string of exploding stars might have caused at least one mass extinction event 365 million years ago, suggests a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Multiple supernovae depleted the ozone layer for a long period of time which increased the amount of radiation that entered Earth. As a result, several […]

(Natural News) An international team led by Goethe University in Germany has successfully converted xenon ions into the heavy element cesium. The results, which appeared in Physical Review Letters, was the first to replicate this phenomenon in a controlled environment. A matter of stardust Nucleosynthesis refers to the creation of atomic nuclei, or broadly defined, the elements. According […]
