Star Shooting Intense Water Jets Into Space

"A star shooting water is almost an oxymoron.

But a young sun-like star seems to have been spotted 750 light-years from Earth doing just that, as researchers have apparently discovered, according to PopSci. Their findings indicate that the proto-star is shooting water from its poles at about 124,000 miles per hour.

Essentially, it's creating water bullets that it shoots deep into interstellar space, according to National Geographic. This star is no more than 100,000 years old, and is located in the northern constellation Perseus." Read More

Exploding stars may shed light on mysterious dark energy

"The future of the cosmos is hidden within dark energy, the invisible substance that constitutes more than 70 percent of the universe.

A study released Thursday by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics moves scientists closer to measuring and understanding the mechanics of dark energy and its impact on the expansion of the universe.

“Dark energy is the most profound problem in all of science,” said astrophysicist Michael Turner, a professor at the University of Chicago who was not involved in the study. “And it’s a very hard problem.”

The new study proposes a relatively simple method for enhancing the accuracy of dark energy observations by changing scientists’ understanding of supernovae, huge exploding stars that cast light across galaxies." Read More
