"Shortly before his disappearance, the famous philosopher, explorer, engineer, and machinist Calvo Galvan, left behind several pieces of nonsensical writings, insane scribblings, and incomplete schematics; known collectively as Galvan's Code. Among these was a map of the Heavens, or rather, a map of the nearby celestial bodies and stars. During Galvan's time of the 1100s, astronomic studies were still in a catch-up phase, as the general understanding of universe and cosmos had yet to surpass…

A binary star supernova is a spectacular phenomenon where one of the stars in the system eventually collapses with an almost unimaginable explosion. Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley recently discovered a type of supernova that, fueled by helium instead of the usual carbon, is only about a tenth as bright as a normal supernova. A more frightening discovery is of a binary system in our own galaxy, only about 3,260 light years away, that had regular nova explosions every…

Today we’re going to take a look at the two most recent Starfinder Society Scenarios that are currently available for purchase, and let you know we thought. Although you’ll find references to…

"Hular" is the only habitable planet in the fictitious a binary star system of the same name. I played with the feeling and the colours after I finished working on the first version and liked the result. Potentially this planet could be completely disastrous to approach or maybe a unique kind of life is just beginning its first steps there. Created with Photoshop.

(Phys.org) —A strange stellar pair nearly 7,000 light-years from Earth has provided physicists with a unique cosmic laboratory for studying the nature of gravity. The extremely strong gravity of a massive neutron star in orbit with a companion white dwarf star puts competing theories of gravity to a test more stringent than any available before.

In 1995, astronomer/scientist Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz found the first discovered exoplanet. An exoplanet is a planet that is orbiting or is located outside our Solar system and could potentially pitch its own life. Today we’ll check out some of NASA’s top hits with Earth-like habitable exoplanets and see how they could hold life.
