The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are visible on the left side of this panorama image of the Milky Way taken near the ESO's Very Large Telescope in the Chilean Atacama Desert. About 200,000 light years away, the SMC is a good target for understanding the initial mass fraction and the binary mass fraction of galaxies. Credit: ESO/Y.

Primordial Black Holes Can Trigger Type Ia Supernovae, and Astronomers Should be Able to Find Them

|
By Evan Gough Verified
| Universe Today Verified
Theoretical cosmology and astrophysics can take us to strange places. Researchers in these disciplines can have long, detailed back-and-forth conversations about things that may not even exist. This is true of primordial black holes. Primordial black holes (PBHs) are only hypothetical, but they generate a lot of interest. If they're real, they formed immediately after the Big Bang from direct collapse of dense clumps of subatomic matter, without the need for any stellar progenitor.

White Dwarfs Eat More Planetary Debris Than Thought, But Magnetic Fields Hide It

|
By Evan Gough Verified
| Knowridge Science Report
Credit: NASA, ESA, and G. Bacon (STScI). White dwarfs are what remain when a main sequence star like our Sun reaches its end. As it depletes its fuel, it swells and turns red, becoming a red giant. Then it becomes an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star with powerful stellar winds. Those winds blow away its outer shell and create a planetary nebula.
