Three Super-Earths and two Super- Mercuries, a type of planet that is extraordinarily rare and distinct, have been found in a star system by astronomers. Super-Mercuries are so uncommon—only eight have been found so far—that they are extremely rare. ESPRESSO’s spectrograph detected two ‘super-Mercury’ worlds in the star system HD 23472. Astronomers have discovered that these planets are extremely rare. This study, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, looked at how the composition of tiny planets varies with planet position, temperature, and star attributes. The reason for observing this planetary system, according to Susana Barros, a researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics e Ciências do Espaço (IA) who led the project, is to characterise…

DiCaprio played Josh in ‘Critters 3’ in 1991. Rotten Tomatoes score: 0% This straight-to-video movie was actually DiCaprio’s first credited appearance in a film ever, so not a particularly good start to his career, critically speaking. This was the third installment of the “Critters” franchise, if you can call it that. In 2000, he played Richard in ‘The Beach.’ Rotten Tomatoes score: 20% Danny Boyle’s movie is actually treated pretty harshly. It may not be a perfect film by any means, but it’s an intriguing story about a young man travelling to a solitary paradise on a beach in Thailand. There are…
Although Alabama sisters Mara Meighan and Jennifer Solis aren’t twins, they have that kind of crazy “twintuition” that makes for incredible stories.

Nine months ago, Jennifer had told her sister she was expecting, only for Mara to announce the same news just over a week later. “It was a surprise to everyone,” Jennifer…

On Sunday, Leonardo DiCaprio took to Instagram shed light on how the coral reef in the northern Red Sea could show scientists how other reefs might adapt to global warming. “In the Red Sea, coral reefs are still in relatively good shape compared to other reefs around the world. Scientists want to study exactly what about this area allows coral reefs to thrive and what the Red Sea can tell them about other coral reefs,” he said. “To date, ocean warming hasn’t really affected the coral reefs in the Red Sea. Warmer ocean waters bleach coral reefs elsewhere, a disturbance to…

Uranus is an unusual planet with a humorous name and it has been discovered that the planet spins on an unconventional axis, which means its magnetic field essentially opens and shuts. In short, Uranus leaks gas every 17 hours. Uranus spins on its side at nearly 98 degrees from its plane of orbit, and this is unusual when compared to most planets which rotate relatively close to their plane of orbit. The magnetic field of the planet also deviates from the norm and is at a 59-degree angle from the rotational axis. The combination of all of these factors makes…
American actor Leonardo DiCaprio made a contribution to the Olena Zelenska Foundation. “We want to thank Leonardo DiCaprio for his recent contribution to the Olena Zelenska Foundation in supporting the people of Ukraine.

Out of all the exoplanets found by Kepler, this distant world is most similar to Earth in size and estimated temperature and is a perfect candidate to host life as we know it on its surface. There’s an alien world orbiting a star dubbed Kepler 1649. However, scientists missed the world when they initially went through the data. But now, after scientists reanalyzed data gathered by the now-retired Kepler space telescope, they found the exoplanet and say that it is similar to Earth and orbits its start in the so-called habitable zone. NASA reveals that a group of scientists using…

Astronomers have discovered the largest body of water so far known, a reservoir of water floating in space around a ancient distant quasar, holding 140 trillion times the mass of water in the Earth’s oceans. Remarkably enough, the find was dated as being 12 billion light years away, only 1.6 billion light years farther from the Big Bang.“Since astronomers expected water vapor to be present even in the early universe, the discovery of water is not itself a surprise,” said the Carnegie Institution in statement, one of the groups behind the findings, said. The water cloud was found to be in…

Scientists have recently reported discovering what they believe is the most massive black hole ever discovered in the early Universe. It is 34 billion times the mass of our Sun, and it eats the equivalent of one Sun daily. The research led by the National University of Australia (ANU) has revealed how massive the fastest-growing black hole in the Universe is, as well as how much matter it can suck in. The black hole, known as ‘J2157’, was discovered by the same research team in 2018. The study detailing the humongous black hole’s characteristics has been published in Monthly Notices of…

These high-velocity clouds have puzzled astronomers for decades. A mysterious, ultrafast cloud may be the result of the explosive stellar death that birthed a neutron star 100,000 years ago and around 532 light-years away, new research reveals. High-velocity clouds (HVCs) are concentrations of hydrogen gas that often dwell in large complexes. They are remarkable because of their incredible velocities, which don’t fit within the regular rotation speed of the Milky Way. The new research may provide insight into the origins of HVCs, which have puzzled scientists for decades. “Distance is the clue to understanding HVCs,” Joan Schmelz, an astronomer at the…
