endIndex: (CNN) — Some stars live fast and look beautiful doing it before they die young in a brilliant explosion. AG Carinae, a blue giant star located 20,000 light-years from Earth in the Milky Way galaxy, is one of those stars. This bright stars explosive infamous temper tantrums are part of what make it so scintillating. The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of one of the stars outbursts to celebrate the observatorys 31st anniversary since launching into space on April 24, 1990. ...

Astronomers just measured the largest flare ever from Proxima Centauri, humanity's closest neighboring star. These flares could be bad news for life trying to develop on a planet orbiting the star.

Text Size: A+ New Delhi: A team from the University of Toronto in Canada has discovered what could be the ‘oldest’ water on Earth. The researchers found the samples of water from a mine in Ontario in 2009. Tests conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford found that the mean age of the samples was 1.6 billion years old, making it the oldest water sample ever found on Earth. The team also found microbes in the water samples, which survived in trace amounts of hydrogen and sulfat...

Search Solar Flares in Netflix’s ‘Stowaway,’ Apple’s ‘For All Mankind’ Are No Match for the Real Thing The Astrophysical Journal Letters last week reported on a real-life flare that makes the fictional plot developments look like firecrackers Jeremy Bailey | April 30, 2021 @ 6:41 AM (Warning: This post contains spoilers to Netflix’s “Stowaway” and the Season 2 premiere of Apple’s “For All Mankind”). Conventional wisdom tells us that the radiation a stellar flare shoots...

ExtremeTech Hubble, Now 31, Snaps Stunning Photo of Volatile Star By Ryan Whitwam on April 28, 2021 at 7:30 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 with an expected design life of 15 years, but it’s well past that now. The iconic telescope just celebrated its 31st birthday, and NASA released a stunning new image to mark the occasion. The photo above shows a star known as AG Carinae...

It’s theoretically possible to travel faster than light using the warp drives seen in ‘Star Trek’ The far-fetched technology can let a starship compress space in front of it while expanding spacetime behind it.

Scientists detected one of the largest flares ever recorded in our galaxy and it came from our sun’s closest neighbor. A humongous flare erupted from Proxima Centauri and that could be bad news if there was any alien life near the star. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star that is located about 4.25 light-years away from us. It is quite small and dim, measuring in at just one-eighth of our sun’s mass. There are two planets orbiting the star that includes an Earth-like world called Proxima C...

Technology Synchronizes Widely Spaced Devices by Jim Turley Physics teaches us that distance is time. Light travels at a finite speed, so looking at a faraway object is, in a sense, looking back in time. Even the nearest star to our own, Proxima Centauri, is 4.25 lightyears away, so the light we see now is 4 years and 3 months old. You can’t look at it now because “now” is relative.  Sitting in the back row of an auditorium, you can hear an audio simulcast or livestr...
