IceCube researchers detect a rare type of energetic neutrino sent from powerful astronomical objects
About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos exist throughout the entire universe, but they can’t harm you. In fact, only one of them is likely to lightly tap an atom in your body in your entire lifetime. Most neutrinos produced by objects […]
The mystery of how strange cosmic objects called ‘JuMBOs’ went rogue
At the end of 2023, astronomers made a startling discovery in the Orion Nebula. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team found 40 pairs of planetary mass objects — none of which orbit a star. They’re called Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects, or JuMBOs. In short, this discovery directly challenged both star birth and planet […]

New research suggests there’s ancient ice locked within its frosty heart. The research team considers this “space snowman,” also known as “Ultima Thule,” a case study for other bodies within the Kuiper Belt. […]

Radio signals from Orion nebula reveal new data about strange celestial objects: ‘JuMBOS’
Last year, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers made the startling discovery of some free-floating, planetary-mass objects in the Orion nebula that threw their ideas of planet and star formation into doubt. And now, new research has further deepened the mystery around these so-called Jupiter-mass binary objects, or JuMBOs. JuMBOs aren’t stars, but aren’t […]
