    Double Detonation: New Evidence in Supernova Research

    Astronomers have found new evidence for a "double detonation" theory in Type Ia supernovae, challenging the traditional view that they occur when white dwarfs accumulate critical mass from a companion star. White dwarfs, the remnants of Sun-like stars, can explode in binary systems if surface det...

    Saturn-Sized Planet Found in Rare "Einstein Desert"

    Astronomers discovered a Saturn-sized rogue planet using microlensing, marking the first detection within the theoretical "Einstein desert" where such planets were predicted to be rare. The microlensing method, enhanced by Gaia telescope data, detects isolated planets by observing how their gravi...
