The upcoming Roman Space Telescope may reveal a new class of "light" black holes, challenging existing theories of black hole formation. These Earth-mass black holes, if discovered, could have significant…
This artist's concept shows the new HM Sagittae (HM Sge) system, where a white dwarf star is pulling material from its red giant companion. This forms a blazing hot disk…
The warm gas giant WASP-107 b, known for its unusually low density and moderate temperature, may have its bloated atmosphere due to tidal heating that warms its interior more than…
