They are common in our galaxy, as 97% of stars are white dwarfs. As stars reach the end of their lives, their cores collapse into the dense ball of a white dwarf, making our galaxy seem like an ethereal graveyard.</description> <link>https://phys.org/news/2024-05-hungry-white-dwarfs-puzzle-stellar.html</link> <category>Astronomy </category> <pubDate>Fri, 03 May 2024 15:16:12 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">news633968167</guid> <media:thumbnail url="https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/tmb/2024/hungry-hungry-white-dw.jpg" width="90" height="90" /> </item> <item> <title>Solar orbiter takes a mind-boggling video of the sun</title> <description>You've seen the sun, but you've never seen the sun like this. This single frame from a video captured by ESA's Solar Orbiter mission shows the sun looking very fluffy! You can see feathery, hair-like structures made of plasma following magnetic field lines in the sun's lower atmosphere as it transitions into the much hotter outer corona. The video was taken from about a third of the distance between the Earth and the sun.</description> <link>https://phys.org/news/2024-05-solar-orbiter-mind-boggling-video.html</link> <category>Astronomy </category> <pubDate>Fri, 03 May 2024 13:19:40 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">news633961178</guid> <media:thumbnail url="https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/tmb/2024/solar-orbiter-takes-a-1.jpg" width="90" height="90" /> </item> <item> <title>Earth from space: Namibian landforms</title> <description>This image may resemble the surface of Mars, but it was actually captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, revealing the stunning terrain of northwest Namibia.</description> <link>https://phys.org/news/2024-05-earth-space-namibian-landforms.html</link> <category>Planetary Sciences </category> <pubDate>Fri, 03 May 2024 12:49:02 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">news633959341</guid> <media:thumbnail url="https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/tmb/2024/earth-from-space-namib.jpg" width="90" height="90" /> </item> <item> <title>Ariane 6 launches: Exolaunch's EXOpod Nova</title> <description>Europe's newest rocket soon launches, taking with it many space missions each with a unique objective, destination and team at home, cheering them on.
