Scientists find ‘ghost particles’ spewing from our Milky Way galaxy in landmark discovery (video)

Astronomers have detected high-energy neutrinos coming from within our Milky Way galaxy, potentially opening up an exciting new window of research, a new study reports. Neutrinos are extraordinarily difficult to spot, as they rarely collide with atoms. A light-year’s worth of lead would stop only about half of the neutrinos flying through it (which explains … Read more

A distant bursting star captured in stunning video

In an unprecedented move, astronomers have managed to capture detailed images of a star outside our solar system, including gas bubbles on its surface. These images, showing giant bubbles of gas hotter than our sun, were taken from the star R Doradus. Surprisingly, gas bubbles appear to be disappearing into the star’s interior at a … Read more
