A new study led by scientists from Yonsei University suggests the universe has begun to slow its expansion, contradicting the widely held belief that this rate has been accelerating. Their research raises substantial doubts about the standard model that identifies dark energy as the cause for ongoing acceleration.

Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ago by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, broke new ground. "What you see on these images is not the black hole itself, but rather the hot matter in its immediate vicinity," explains Pro

Research led by UChicago's Eliza Kempton finds some 'mini-Neptunes' likely have solid surfaces rather than molten interiors
A new study finds that many "mini-Neptunes" - perhaps the most common planets in the galaxy - are under so much pressure from their heavy atmospheres that the surface is likely compressed solid. Illustration courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC)

London, UK (SPX) Nov 06, 2025
Astronomers from University College London and the University of Warwick have discovered that ageing stars may be responsible for destroying giant planets in close orbits. When stars similar to the Sun exhaust their hydrogen fuel, they expand and cool, entering the red giant phase. This transformation can lead to the engulfment and destruction of closely orbiting giant planets.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Natural Sciences have established a new method to determine the altitude distribution of blue aurora using a single hyperspectral camera. Inspired by laboratory plasma techniques, the team estimated auroral heights through analysis of sunlight-excited resonant scattering along the camera's line of sight.
