GJ 486 b is about 30% larger than the Earth and three times as massive, which means it is a rocky world with stronger gravity than Earth. It orbits a red dwarf star in just under 1.5 Earth days. It is too close to its star to be within the habitable zone, with a surface temperature of about 800 degrees Fahrenheit. And yet, Webb observations show hints of water vapor.

This animation depicts a star experiencing spaghettification as it’s sucked in by a supermassive black hole during a ‘tidal disruption event’. MIT astronomers have discovered the closest tidal disruption event to date using infrared data, revealing a previously hidden population of TDEs in active, star-forming galaxies. Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser The event was spotted in infrared data — also a first — suggesting further searches in this band could turn up more such bursts. MIT astronomers have discovered a new tidal disruption event in infrared, providing insights into how supermassive black holes rip apart passing stars. This newly found TDE, labeled WTP14adbjsh,…

Which players are the GOATs of every position? It is never easy to rank a single player among the rest in every position because we have seen such amazing players compete since the NBA started in the 1947 season. Almost every generation has yielded top superstar players, and we have been lucky enough to witness most of them at specific moments in time. The point guard position has seen a host of elite playmakers and floor generals compete in their eras and that role has changed in recent times, with scoring being the primary responsibility. The shooting guard position has…

Stephen Curry is in all the media headlines recently after his record-breaking 50-point performance in Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings in the first round. The point guard single-handedly destroyed the Kings in the second half, and the praise coming his way is well-deserved. Even outspoken teammate Draymond Green made some shocking comments by stating the point guard is the greatest player ever, which could spark some conversation by looking up at Michael Jordan’s legacy. It is very hard to compare anybody to Michael Jordan, and we even saw that when taking LeBron James and matching him to the Chicago Bulls star. The comparison…

This artist’s concept shows a planet gradually spiraling into its host star. The Jupiter-size planet pulls gas away from the star, sending it into space. There, the gas cools and becomes dust, which is visible to astronomers. Credit: R. Hurt & K. Miller (Caltech/IPAC) A star nearing the end of its life swelled up and absorbed a Jupiter-size planet. In about 5 billion years, our Sun will go through a similar end-of-life transition. In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers observed an aging star consuming a planet for the first time, providing insights into our Sun’s eventual fate, which will undergo a similar…

While jogging, a kind woman saw a dog lying motionless in the middle of the road. She appeared weary in the roughly 40-degree heat. With the gaping cut near her tail, she knew the poor dog was in a lot of agony. “I guessed she had been lying there for quite some time. How could anyone come across a suffering creature like this without help?” The nice woman stated. There were noises of puppies returning. Following that sound, the woman was moved to tears by the spectacle in front of her. The mother dog’s children wept bitterly. They were lying…

It is important to respect the individual breastfeeding journey of each woman. Regardless of her journey, any woman who has breastfed for a prolonged period of time feels emotional. Some mothers relish the experience, while others resist it. Indeed, it’s challenging, but the benefits far outweigh the difficulties. This young mother’s letter to us made everything clear. I’ve always wanted to breastfeed, since since I first learned I was pregnant. I constantly tell myself to give it my all and if it doesn’t work out, that’s okay because I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself and slip…

Credit: NASA/IBEX/Adler Planetarium NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX mission, has helped researchers learn something new about the heliosphere – the magnetic bubble created by the Sun that we live in. It turns out, the heliosphere has ripples! These ripples also change – likely due to influences from the Sun itself.

The Los Angeles Lakers needed to take care of business at home with the series shifting to L.A. tied at 1-1, and they did just that. The Lakers dominated the Golden State Warriors and came away with a 127-97 win to take a 2-1 lead in the series. After the game, though, LeBron James had a clear message for his team. “Just don’t get comfortable,” LeBron said. “We don’t have the luxury to get comfortable versus a Golden State team. As long as we stay uncomfortable knowing that they can run off three straight versus us or whatever they want to if we get comfortable. So,…

One of the criticisms of the modern NBA has consistently been stars teaming up to form superteams. It started with the Boston Celtics in 2007, with the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors subsequently building rosters stacked with All-Stars. This trend is hard to fathom for players of the older generation, like Shaquille O’Neal. And while generally calling it out, Shaq once revealed which two teams he would have joined if he had to create superteams in his career. “So, it’s supposed to be about competition. If I knew it was okay to join people, f*** I would have joined…

After superstar Kevin Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns, many predicted that he and Devin Booker would be able to win at least one championship during their time together. They are both complete players offensively, but one area that both excel at is scoring the basketball. After the duo combined for 86 points in Game 3, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic claimed that the duo are the “two best scorers” in the NBA currently, praising their ability to make tough shots even over double teams. “We know who we need to stop, but they’re talented players,” Nikola Jokic said per Anthony Riccobono of ClutchPoints. “They’re…

As the old saying goes, “Records are made to be broken.” The fact of the matter is, that statement has never been more true in the NBA than right now in 2023. It seems everywhere we turn, another record is being matched or broken in the NBA, with the offensive output being at an all-time high and widespread talent across the entire league. Just this season, we saw an NBA record fall that nobody thought we would see fall in our lifetimes when LeBron James became the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. The way things are trending, I wouldn’t be surprised…
