SYFY WIRE Phil Plait Uranus got its moons when a big rocky planet whacked it. Maybe. Planet-on-planet giant impact may explain a lot of weirdness with Uranus. By Phil Plait 2 years ago Another big JWST milestone: The first deep, clear image, with galaxies galore Dozens of distant galaxies seen in newly released James Webb Space Telescope image By Phil Plait 2 years ago A nearby galaxy is giving birth to a brand new baby galaxy! A small galaxy is born from the ripped-out guts of a big one. By Phil Plait 2 years ago White dwarfs eat other white dwarfs and then wear their undigested bits Two newly discovered weird stars ate their companions. By Phil Plait 2 years ago Explaining off-kilter black hole mergers may need a lot more black holes. A lot. I heard you like black holes so I put black holes in your black holes with other black holes. By Phil Plait 2 years ago Life on Earth may have changed the chemistry of Earth's deep mantle Dead trilobites made diamonds slightly lighter. By Phil Plait 2 years ago UPDATE: So, about that 'young' asteroid impact crater in Greenland... it's actually old. Really old. Huge crater under the ice is 60 million years old. By Phil Plait 2 years ago If all galaxies have dark matter, why don't these two? Astronomers are following clues to find out. Their dark matter may have been stolen by bigger galaxies. By Phil Plait 2 years ago The weird gets weirder: A fast radio burst traced to a nearby galaxy's globular cluster The location is solved, but what's causing it? By Phil Plait 2 years ago X-rays glow from blast waves as colliding neutron stars create a kilonova I love every word in that headline. By Phil Plait 2 years ago SYFY WIRE | Page 16
