Missing nitrogen traced to deep Earth core in planetary formation simulations
Thursday, 17 April 2025 12:09
A longstanding mystery in Earth science may finally have an answer: why Earth's rocky mantle contains so little nitrogen compared to other volatile elements. According to a new study from Ehime University, most of Earth's nitrogen may have sunk into the core during its formation, effectively hiding it from view for billions of years.

Webb spots clues of black hole at heart of nearby galaxy M83
Thursday, 17 April 2025 07:00
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have discovered evidence that suggests the presence of a long-sought supermassive black hole at the heart of the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 83 (M83). This surprising finding, made possible by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), reveals highly ionised neon gas that could be a telltale signature of an active galactic nucleus (AGN), a growing black hole at the center of a galaxy.

First Spectrum: Strongest biosignature signal yet found on exoplanet
Wednesday, 16 April 2025 23:42
Astronomers have reported their most compelling evidence to date of potential biological activity on a planet beyond our solar system, though they emphasize further verification is needed. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a research team led by the University of Cambridge identified the spectral presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b.
