Betelgeuse’s Hidden Companion Star Found — and It Rewrites the Supernova Story
Astronomers using the VLT and Gemini North telescopes have detected the strongest evidence yet that Betelgeuse is not alone — a close-orbiting companion provisionally named Betelgeuse B could reshape our understanding of the star's dimming events and ultimate fate.
SpaceX Night Launch From Florida July 30: What Lights Up the Sky

Recycling Fossil Fuel Infrastructure Could Unlock $11 Trillion in Savings
New peer-reviewed research finds that systematically recycling retired oil wells, pipelines, and rigs could supply all the steel needed for the global energy transition while avoiding up to $11.69 trillion in societal costs by 2050.
Juno Probe Found Io’s Interior Is a Planet-Wide Magma Mush Zone
NASA's Juno probe made the first direct subsurface measurements of Io, revealing widespread partial melting at depth and a crust so perpetually recycled that the solar system's most volcanic world may never have fully cooled.
Chicxulub Silicate Dust, Not Fire or Sulfur, Actually Killed the Dinosaurs
A new study identifies fine-grained silicate dust ejected by the Chicxulub asteroid as the single most impactful extinction agent 66 million years ago, outweighing soot and sulfur aerosols by blocking sunlight long enough to collapse global food chains.Load More
