Physicist Sascha Kempf from the University of Colorado Boulder has presented compelling evidence that the rings of Saturn are surprisingly young, resolving a mystery that has puzzled scientists for more than a century.According to a study published on May 12 in the journal Science Advances, the rings are no more than 400 million years old, which is much younger than the planet. Saturn itself is only 4.5 billion years old, and compared to the rings, that's a huge difference.Researchers discovered this by studying the accumulation of dust on the rings, using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. This spacecraft orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017, which gave researchers loads of information to work with.Kempf says the dust says a lot about the age of the rings . "Think about the r...

For the first time ever, Scientists have discovered a star swallowing an entire planet in just one meal.On Wednesday, a team of astronomers from MIT, Harvard, and Caltech along with other institutions, reported these findings after discovering a planet around the size of Jupiter being swallowed by a star. What's even scarier about this is that Scientists also believe this will happen someday to earth - However, it will happen in about 5 billion years. Thankfully we won't be around to be eaten by a star.The scientists claim the planet was spiraling close to a dying star 1,000 times its size, until it was finally ingested into the nearby star's core.. The star also grew bigger and more than 1000 times brighter than usual in just 10 times. After that, it quickly faded and eventually ...
