Around the corner awaits a new expedition for Curiosity, this time to investigate a formation known as a boxwork.

This significant finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal, opens a new window into an extreme phase of stellar evolution, offering a critical link in understanding the lifecycle of binary star systems.

Such extreme solar storms are incredibly rare – only six have left their traces on Earth in the past 14,500 years, and none have been observed since the height of the Assyrian Empire nearly 2,700 years ago.

Led by researchers from the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) in Italy, the team analyzed 21 of the most distant quasars ever discovered.

After landing in southern Utopia Planitia on Mars in May 2021, the now-defunct Zhurong rover went to work exploring the Martian surface, and its latest findings might just change the way we think about the Red Planet.

The planet was spotted by a team of scientists led by Madyson G. Barber at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The event occurred in Stephan’s Quintet, a well-known group of five interacting galaxies first discovered nearly 150 years ago.

Since 2005 the Solfatara crater in Italy has been releasing increased volumes of gas, catching the attention of researchers and locals alike.

The cosmic guitar isn’t idle, though. It is constantly on the move, just as a swaying guitarist, belting out tune after tune.
