Science Discoveries: Exoplanets, Supernovas, and Ancient Finds
Recent scientific developments include a fast-forming exoplanet, a remarkable image of a dying star, the discovery of a 32,000-year-old sabre-toothed cat cub, insights into the Human Cell Atlas project, a SpaceX Starship launch overseen by Donald Trump, and Neuralink's brain chip trial approval in Canada.
In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified a rapidly forming alien planet orbiting a young star, challenging existing models of planetary formation speed. The newborn exoplanet, with an estimated mass 10 to 20 times that of Earth, has formed in merely 3 million years.
Meanwhile, scientists have captured a historic image of a star on the brink of a supernova, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, outside our Milky Way galaxy. The image marks the first documentation of this critical stage in a star's life cycle.
In addition, a 32,000-year-old sabre-toothed cat cub has been unearthed in northeastern Russia. The permafrost-preserved cub offers valuable insights into prehistoric life. Concurrently, the Human Cell Atlas project made strides with the first blueprint of human skeletal development, advancing our understanding of cellular architecture.
