Webb sees shockwave continuing hundreds of years after supernova blast (Image Credit: Mashable) Scientists have probed the remains of a star that died in a violent supernova and discovered that its shockwave continued reverberating through space, hundreds of years later. That shockwave eventually reached interstellar space, the medium that fills regions between […]

Venus wasn’t always hell, scientists say. It may have had beaches. (Image Credit: Mashable) It’s possible that Venus and Earth once simultaneously existed as pleasant worlds hosting mild temperatures and oceans. Then, something went awry. In new research, planetary scientists simulated how Venusian conditions today — with pizza oven-like temperatures, a crushing […]
