Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse: Is it (Supernova)time?
Will Betelgeuse go supernova in the next few decades? This paper suggests so…
Spotting the Difference: Supermassive Black Holes in Cosmological Simulations Don’t Match Observations
Cosmological simulations are supposed to recreate the observed Universe, but they don’t always match up. Today’s paper shows what we can learn when part of a simulation doesn’t reflect reality.
Hiding in the Core: could Intermediate-Mass Black Holes exist in the Galactic Center?
There’s a cluster of stars near the Milky Way’s center whose distribution and age puzzles scientists. Could an intermediate-mass black hole be the light that reveals the mystery?
Did early Earth order delivery, or did it make its oceans at home?
Could interactions between a magma ocean and early hydrogen rich atmosphere have created liquid water on Earth?
Re-imaging the M87 Black hole using machine learning
In today’s bite, we look at how machine learning allows us to get a sharper image of our favorite space donut, the M87 black hole!
Far, Farther, Quasars – One Step Closer to the Early Formation of Supermassive Objects
The existence of distant quasars requires the formation of supermassive stars in the very early universe. But is it possible to form supermassive stars so early? Find out in today’s bite!
