Can JWST tell the difference between an exoEarth and an exoVenus?
As of October 2023, astronomers have discovered 5,506 exoplanets orbiting other stars. That number is growing daily, and astronomers are hoping, among other things, to find Earth-like worlds. But will we know one when we see it? How might we be able.....»»
JWST looks at the debris disk around a white dwarf
Debris disks are quite common in the universe. Young stars have protoplanetary disks from which planets form. Black holes have accretion disks that are the source of the galactic jets. Supernova remnants can form a disk around neutron stars. So what.....»»

Pixel 8 Pro versus Pixel 8 camera comparison: all about that zoom
Google has two new flagship-tier smartphones for 2023 – the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The obvious difference between the two devices comes down to size and price, but there are also a few differences in their cameras as well. Both the Pixel 8 an.....»»
More JWST observations are finding fewer early massive galaxies
There's a common pattern in science. We develop some new process or tool that allows us to gather all kinds of data we've never had before, the data threatens to overturn all we've assumed about some long-established theory, and then the dust settles.....»»
Size matters: How body size shapes dogs" aging patterns
Smaller dogs may live twice as long life as their larger counterparts. But does this size difference also impact how dogs age in terms of behavior and cognitive abilities? Based on the data of 15,000 dogs, researchers from ELTE Eötvös Loránd Unive.....»»

Women take fewer risks because they think about losing more than men do, research suggests
One difference between men and women has been well documented by economists, psychologists and biologists—that women are tend to be more cautious and take fewer risks. Evidence has also been gathered about how this difference affects women's lives,.....»»
iRobot Roomba Combo j9+ vs. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+: Which is best?
The Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba Combo j5+ are new members to iRobot's robot vacuum lineup. But what's the difference between the two? Here's what to know......»»
Bursts of star formation explain mysterious brightness at cosmic dawn
When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) first images of the universe's earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature to have formed so soon after the Big Bang. It would.....»»
