<img src=”https://naked-science.ru/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/supe_rr-scaled.jpg” alt=”Astronomers have seen the death of more than three thousand white dwarfs”/>When some white dwarfs — compact stars with masses of about 1.4 solar masses — end their lives with a thermonuclear explosion, type Ia supernovae are formed. Until now, it was believed that white […]

The authors of a new scientific paper decided to check how things were before 1880, when global warming had […]
<img src=”https://naked-science.ru/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ris.jpg” alt=”Scientists have expanded their understanding of generalizations of mathematical physics models”/>An international team of scientists from Russia and China has presented a study devoted to W-representations for multi-symbol statistical sums and their β-deformations. The study will expand our understanding of generalizations of well-known models of […]
<img src=”https://naked-science.ru/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/exo_com-scaled.jpg” alt=”Astronomers have compiled the largest catalog of comets from other star systems”/>A multitude of large exocomets — icy chunks of one kilometer or more in size — orbit stars nearby. By observing the fragments left behind by their collisions using the ALMA and SMA radio […]

One of the main sources is the tongue, where the taste buds are located. These are receptors that transmit information about […]
<img src=”https://naked-science.ru/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/eso1621a.jpg” alt=”Parent stars can distort data on exoplanets”/>Because of star spots, scientists could have failed to notice errors in data on exoplanets transmitted by space telescopes for decades. This was discovered by the authors of a new study. They believe that without taking into account the […]
