Sectional summary: Our earliest universe at just over one second has naturally inflated at a size, mass and energy that are within ranges known to our sciences. But more importantly, the progression of base-2 n
Starquakes, or seismic events in neutron stars, are offering scientists an exciting new way to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers are delving into the world of starquakes to understand the densest matter in the universe within neutron stars. This st...
White dwarves are among the densest objects known to exist in the Universe, and thus exert tremendous gravitational force upon their neighbors. As the stars that make up T CrB orbit each other, the white dwarf pulls so strongly that it actually strips gases away from the surface of the red ...
not enough words exist to describe the hues of the Pacific Ocean around French Polynesia on a clear, calm, sunny day. And there are plenty of those in June, the start of the driest season, when the main island of Bora Bora and its motu (ringing islands) bask in temperatures of around...
Neutron stars are extreme in many ways and are the densest objects ever observed in the cosmos, being the remnants of massive stars after they explode in a supernova. Matter inside neutron stars can behave in unusual ways, and it is difficult to find words to describe their density: the ma...
To pass the densest thickets, you must link with them. Engineered to remind one of the need to use Darkness to fight Darkness. When I joined the link, I felt what others have reported: a collective haunting The presence of all those who were devoured by the ship....
The scientists had been studying brief cosmic phenomena known as gamma-ray bursts, which astronomers believe come from supernovas, or massive stars that explode at the end of their lifetimes. Gamma-ray bursts are thought to be a good indication of where huge masses of stuff lie in the univer...
“Those fast-moving positive charges should generate a very strong magnetic field, predicted to be 1018gauss,” said Gang Wang, a STAR physicist from the University of California, Los Angeles. For comparison, he noted thatneutron stars, the densest objects in the universe, have fields of about...
Visual inspection of this radio source revealed it to be a small star centered in the nebula. The first neutron star had been discovered. Are neutron stars made of the densest matter possible? No. During a supernova event, remnants of stars greater than three solar masses apparently collapse ...
Astronomers have discovered the most massive example yet of the dead stars known as neutron stars, one almost too massive to exist, a new study finds.
