New observations reveal neutron stars paired with stars like our Sun. Astronomers have uncovered what appear to be 21 neutron stars in orbit around stars like our Sun. The discovery is surprising because it is not clear how a star that exploded winds up next to a star like our Sun.
Most stars in our universe come in pairs. While our own Sun is a loner, many stars like our Sun orbit similar stars, while a host of other exotic pairings between stars and cosmic orbs pepper the universe. Black holes, for example, are often found orbiting each other. One pairing that has proved to be quite rare is that between a Sun-like star and a type of dead star called a neutron star.
Now, astronomers led by Caltech’s Kareem El-Badry have uncovered what appear to be 21 neutron stars in orbit around stars like our Sun. Neutron stars are dense burned-out cores of massive stars that exploded. On their own, they are extremely faint and usually cannot be detected directly. But as a neutron star orbits around a Sun-like star, it tugs on its companion, causing the star to shift back and forth in the sky. Using the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, the astronomers were able to catch these telltale wobbles to reveal a new population of dark neutron stars.
When neutron stars merge the result is usually a black hole. But sometimes its a more massive, stable neutron star.
One of the leading theoretical physicists today talks about progress in understanding the open mysteries of the cosmos.
The experiment may have detected the first direct detection of dark energy, the enigmatic factor that is speeding the expansion of the universe.
An experiment detected a strange signal that might point to dark energy instead of dark matter.
This simulation created by researchers in the Netherlands might help us know more about mysterious black holes.
While AI has the potential to automate many tasks, there are certain jobs that require human skills and abilities that AI cannot replicate. These include jobs that require creativity, empathy, critical thinking, and human interaction. According to the World Economic Forum, AI is unlikely to be able to replace jobs requiring human skills such as judgement, creativity, physical dexterity and emotional intelligence. Some examples of jobs that AI cannot replace include psychologists, caregivers, most engineers, human resource managers, marketing strategists, and lawyers. In this video, Dr. Michio Kaku mentioned three specific types of jobs that AI cannot replace: blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive, emotional jobs, and jobs requiring imagination. These types of jobs require human skills and abilities that are difficult for AI to replicate. For example, blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive often require physical dexterity and mobility. Emotional jobs require empathy and the ability to connect with others on a personal level. Jobs requiring imagination involve creativity and innovation. In conclusion, while AI has the potential to automate many tasks and change the job landscape, there are certain jobs that require human skills and abilities that AI cannot replicate. These include blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive, emotional jobs, and jobs requiring imagination. It is important for individuals to develop these skills in order to thrive in the future job market.

The Big Bang: The moment when our universe — everything in existence — began…Right? Turns out, it’s not quite that simple. Today, when scientists talk about the Big Bang, they mean a period of time – closer to an era than to a specific moment. Host Regina Barber talks with two cosmologists about the cosmic microwave background, its implications for the universe’s origins and the discovery that started it all.

For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of a neutron star emitting a ‘garden sprinkler-like’ S-shaped jet in the binary system Circinus X-1, located over 30,000 light-years away.
This phenomenon, similar to precession observed in black holes, illustrates the jet’s direction change due to the gravitational pull from a disc of hot gas. The discovery was made using the MeerKAT radio telescope, and the findings provide insights into the dynamics of neutron stars and the mechanics of jet launching.
