The current framework of astrophysics appears broken. The researchers analyzing this data are not just trying to force these impossible objects into the old models. They are actively refining the old rules and drafting new physical laws. They are exploring modified theories of gravity, rapid direct-collapse black hole models, and […]
We like to organize the universe into neat categories. A star is either alive and fusing, or it is dead and cooling. A supernova is either a total destruction, or it is not a supernova at all. The zombie star forces us to accept that these categories are artificial. Nature […]
The question Enceladus is asking is whether the transition from chemistry to biology is easy or hard. Whether it is something that happens whenever conditions permit, or whether we are alone in a universe that almost got there but never quite did. A small, bright moon, five hundred kilometres wide, […]
Jupiter is the ruler we use to measure other planets. When astronomers find a giant planet orbiting a distant star, the first thing they do is compare it to Jupiter. Its mass is given in Jupiter masses. Its radius is given in Jupiter radii. Its interior is modelled by adapting […]

A microscopic black hole created at the LHC, with a mass measured in a few teraelectronvolts, would exist for an almost impossibly short amount of time. Current predictions put its lifetime at about ten to the minus twenty-seventh of a second. That number is so small that, in that entire […]
