Astronomers have discovered a neutron star orbiting a mysterious object that, by all accounts, shouldn’t be able to exist. Seemingly invisible in light, and too small to be a black hole, the object defies explanation.Using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, the mystery began when astronomers spotted a pulsar in a globular cluster called NGC 1851, in the constellation of Columba. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that have strong magnetic fields, which creates cones of radio waves that sweep around like…

Astronomers have discovered a colossal cosmic structure that’s so big it threatens to undermine our entire understanding of the universe.

If it was visible with…

A full month from now, Madame Web will be making its way into theaters. Like Venom and Morbius before it, the film is Sony’s bid at making a universe of interconnected Spider-Man movies that don’t feature the hero in question. And in another universe, we’d have one of those movies playing out in theaters this weekend. In mid-2022, Sony curiously announced it was working on a movie for El Muerto that was set to release on January 12, 2024. If you haven’t heard of him, don’t worry, he’s only really shown up in two issues,…

You've heard of hot Jupiters. You've heard of mini-Neptunes. You've heard of super-Earths. But have you heard of Eyeball Planets? Yep - planetary scientists think there might be a type of exoplanet out there that looks disturbingly like a giant eyeball. Just sitting there. Staring.But it's actually not as weird as it sounds - the appearance of these bodies has to do with tidal locking.Tidal locking is when an orbiting body rotates at the same rate that it orbits.

One of the most highly-anticipated movies of the year is finally in theaters, as Killers of the Flower Moon exposes, once again, the massive gaps in the U.S. educational system. The same conversation was prompted by the release of HBO’s Watchmen series, which served as many Americans’ first-ever introduction to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
