A Star Passing The Black Hole at The Centre of Our Galaxy Is About to Test Einstein's Theory
In a few months, astronomers are going to be pointing their telescopes to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. That's because it's going to be buzzed by a closely orbiting star - providing another context for testing Einstein's…

Quantum Theory Bends The Limits of Physics, Showing Two-Way Signaling May Be Possible
Quantum physics just beat classical physics again. A single quantum particle can send a two-way signal, scientists have discovered - something that's impossible in classical physics. That means a particle can essentially send messages to itself thanks to…

Here’s What Alien Life on Saturn’s Moon May Look Like
Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, is currently a leading candidate for scientists searching for the ingredients for extraterrestrial life. One new study shows how microorganisms could survive there, living off of methane.

ASTROBIOLOGICAL FINDINGS
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, is a leading candidate in the search for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. One new study improves the moon’s likelihood of holding life. Scientists have found that, under Enceladus-like conditions, certain microbes known as methanogenic archaea can grow and produce methane from carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases.
