James Webb Space Telescope finds rare heavy chemical element from ‘kilonova’ explosion
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected the rare element tellurium in the aftermath of two neutron stars merging about 1 billion light-years away. The stars were once part of a galaxy but were ejected after one exploded as a supernova. Despite this, they remained gravitationally bound and eventually merged. This event, known as […]
James Webb Space Telescope could have explained the mysterious signals from ‘hell planet’ 40 light-years away
The first super-Earth ever discovered, 55 Cancri e, has been emitting puzzling signals for nearly two decades. Scientists now believe these signals could be due to periodic volcanic activity on the planet. These eruptions spew out hot gas that forms a temporary atmosphere, which then burns off due to extreme heat, leaving the planet bare […]
