Our Star (the Sun) was Half of a Binary System, a New Scientific Research Paper Suggests The Theory could resolve Some unanswered questions in Heliophysics. If most stars form in binary pairs, what about our Sun? A new paper presents a model supporting the theory that the Sun may have started out as one member...
New study darkens hope for the discovery of Earth-like planets / Earth-like Exoplanets (November 2024) Since 1961, Astrobiologists and others interested in finding extraterrestrial life have used the Drake equation to speculate on the possible number of technologically advanced alien civilizations in the Milky Way. By multiplying factors like the number of new stars in...
