Wolf-Rayet 104 “Pinwheel” star reveals surprise (and some relief)
The concept of the artist of the famous Wolf Rayette 104 “Pinwheel Star” previously known as “Death Star.” A new study conducted from Mauna Kea, Hawaii using three Keck Observatory equipment reveals that the orbits of the two stars are 30 or 40 degrees away from us, saving the planet from potential gamma ray bursts (GRB).

Research reveals the possible effects of changes in air quality associated with global warming on human airways
The risk of human airway inflammation increases with global warming. Credit: Communications Earth & Environment (2025). doi:10.1038/s43247-025-02161-z From hot summer days to cold winter nights, many people can experience worsening respiratory symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis, or viral infections. The incidence of extreme temperature conditions has increased over decades, exposing the upper airways of humans to high steam pressure (VPD),…

Runaway Star reveals hidden black holes of the Milky Way’s most recent neighbor
Impressions of the Hyper Belt Lattist artist ejected from the large Magellan cloud (shown on the right). If the binary star system gets too close to an ultra-large number of black holes, intense gravity will tear the pair apart. One star is captured in a tight orbit around a black hole, while the other jumps outward at extreme speeds. Often,…

The discovery of molecular “springs” reveals how hearing is caused
3D models help researchers to better understand the structure and function of the mechanical springs of ion channels. From left to right: Professor Martin Gepfert, Dr. Thomas Effert, Dr. Philip Herat. Credit: Philip Hehlert Auditation begins with the elongation of the elastic molecule “springs,” which open ion channels to the sensory hair cells of the ear. For decades, researchers knew…

Webb reveals that planet-forming disks can last longer than previously thought
This diagram shows the underlying stars surrounded by discs forming a planet of gas and dust. The planetary formation process displays gaps on disks not shown in this diagram. A stream near the center indicates that the problem from the disk is still falling to the star. Credit: NASA/CXC/m. Weiss If there was something like a cosmic photo album, it…

New research reveals the structure of violent winds 1,300 light years away
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Planet WASP-121B is extreme. It is a gas giant nearly twice the size of Jupiter, orbiting around very close to the stars, nearly 50 times more than the Earth does around the Sun. The WASP-121B is so close to that star that it locked its rotation with a “resonance.” Planets always show the same face to…

Structured light self-image in cylindrical systems reveals a new form of space-time duality
Illustrations of generalized self-images at angle positions and illustrations of angular angular momentum of related orbital angular momentum using ring-shaped optical fibers and phase masks. Credit: Matthias Erickson, University of Tampere Photonics researchers at the University of Tampere in Finland and the Kathler Brossel Institute in France have shown that self-image of light, a phenomenon known in nearly two centuries,…

Research reveals how the Earth got its ice cap
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain New research shows that the cool conditions that allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events on Earth, and many complex processes must work at once. A team of scientists led by the University of Leeds investigates why the Earth is known for much of its history as an ice-cap-free “greenhouse” condition, and why…
