A new study on Dyson sphere search methods has identified five potential candidates among red dwarfs. This research expands the tools available for detecting signs of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.
Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the disappearance of a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy without a supernova explosion—the star transformed directly into a black hole. This discovery will help scientists better understand the final stages of stellar evolution and aid in the search for new black holes throughout the Universe.
Long before the appearance of bright colors and fragrances, plants attracted insects using heat signals. A new study has shown that ancient cycads used infrared radiation to communicate with their pollinators.
Astronomers have discovered 164 mysterious ring-shaped structures within the plane of the Milky Way, whose origins remain unknown. Some of these rings are visible only in the radio spectrum, and research into their nature is ongoing.
