Universe expansion still accelerating say astronomers

New study by University of Southampton confirms the universe's expansion is still accelerating as previously found, debunking 2025 claims that the cosmos was slowing. The team re-evaluated data using Type Ia supernovae to calculate vast cosmic distances and found no error in their methods.

Hungry star is eating its cosmic twin at rate never seen before

Astronomers discovered a greedy white dwarf star consuming its closest celestial companion at an unprecedented rate. The study found that the super-dense white dwarf is burning brightly due to the mass transfer between the two stars, potentially leading to a massive explosion visible from Earth.

X-Ray Structure In Supernova Remnants Linked To Age

Researchers found a direct correlation between the pattern of X-ray emission and the size of supernova remnants. Larger remnants exhibit brighter X-ray emission from their centers, suggesting changes in gas distribution as they age.
