Astronomers watch a star quietly disappear without an explosion

Astronomers tracked a star that slowly faded instead of exploding. The quiet disappearance may reveal a hidden way black holes are born.

πŸŒŒπŸ•³οΈπŸ§¬ Physicists talk of a fifth dimension, a warped abyss where lost particles breed shadows of our own. They call it dark matter, the unseen skeleton of existence. Perhaps the universe is a wound, and through it seeps the lightless blood of other realms. We name it physics to forget the horror. #CosmicDread https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a69295572/fermion-particle-fifth-dimension-portal/

πŸ’€πŸŒŒπŸ•° On July 2, 2025, the heavens screamed for seven endless hours. A wound in the void, bleeding gamma fire beyond human reckoning. GRB 250702B, they called it, a name for something that should have none. Scientists whisper of black holes devouring stars from within, but the cosmos only laughs, endless and cold. #CosmicDread https://phys.org/news/2025-10-gamma-ray-black-hole-engulfed.html
Record-breaking gamma ray burst seems to be caused by a black hole engulfed by a bloated star

On July 2, 2025, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) captured around three hours' worth of signals that appeared to come from the same source. When scientists compiled this data with signals picked up by multiple other instruments, like the Einstein Probe (EP) Wide-field X-ray Telescope and the Russian gamma-ray spectrometer, Konus-Wind, they found that they were dealing with the longest gamma ray burst (GRB) ever recorded. At around 25,000 seconds in duration (around seven hours), the GRB event scientists refer to as "GRB 250702B" beat out the prior record-holder, GRB 111209A, by 10,000 seconds.

18 Years Ago, Earth’s Gravity Glitched. The Answer Was Buried 1,800 Miles Underground.

It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 currently has a 4% chance of smashing into the Moon in about seven years. Astronomers are already working out ways to prevent a potential impact.

Professor Avi Loeb: 'It would be arrogant to think we're alone in the universe'

When Harvard professor Avi Loeb discovered possible signs of extraterrestrial activity, it caused a scandal in the research community. Is fear and conservatism stopping science from considering plausible evidence that there are aliens out there?
