The newest suggestion states that Dinky itself spawned the contact-binary dubbed Selam, which now orbits the main body like a moon. Due to spinning too rapidly, young Dinky lost some of the lose material on its surface, which then formed into Selam.

The researchers also propose that the moon has lost mass over time.

So eventhough Pluto's orbit breaches the so-called snow-line, there might be conditions suitable for life as we know it in this faraway world.

According to these findings, our sister-planet is still active, similar even to our home-world.

Deep in their interiors, a strange form of ionized water is thought to exist. Called aquodinium, it consists of a normal water molecule with two additional protons, which creates a net positive charge. If enough of the stuff is around, it could create magnetospheres similar to that observed in the two distant planets.

More clues might be found by the upcoming MMX mission that will orbit all three celestial objects and even attempt to get a sample from the surface of Phobos.

Looking closer at those structures, the inidividual building-blocks are extremly diverse in size - from tiny pebbles to mountain-sized. It all depends on what key-ingredients those ring-locations have to offer, and one is liquid water. This is hard to retain in these environments.

The disk itself is the biggest of its kind observed so far, and contains extremely high amounts of gas and dust. The young star is thought to be two to four times as massive as our Sun, and it could create a system with many giant planets in a distance of up to 300 times further than the distance between our star and Jupiter.

From strange super-Earths to weird sub-Neptunes, from ultra-short period orbiters to extremely detached objects - there seems to be no limit to what the Universe can produce.

Normally, massive stars go out with a bang; however, some do not, as seen in a binary system named VFTS 234 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, consisting of a black hole and a star. There are no visible signs of a supernova that would have normally spawned the black hole. However, the newly discovered way to die is a quiet, sudden, total collapse, in which the star in question just.. goes out, when watched from a distant world.

In a new study conducted by a team at the Universities of Bath and Bristol, smoking higher-potency cannabis between 16 and 18 years of age doubles the likelihood of psychotic experiences shortly after.

In the case of the ongoing opioid-crisis, new players constantly join in, like nitazines and brorphines.

The volunteers in the study reported feeling less acute loneliness, which even seemed to linger after treatment was over. Moreover, it helped the participants to connect positively to other peole.

As part of the Hakuto-R Mission 2, 275 languages and other cultural crtefacts will be send to the lunar surface in order to keep some of humanity's legacy alive even if the world goes to complete shit.

Though sounding a little scifi for us Earthlings, the preservation of species that are likely not going to make it through climate change has become a race against time.

The Chang'e 6 mission was designed to touch down on the far side of our satellite and pick up samples to return to Earth for the very first time. The mysterious add-on craft carries an infrared imaging spectrometer.

A web of nerve-strings, named the default ascending arousal network (dAAN) was investigated closely, and found to connect to the ventral tegmental area, which in turn is connected to the cortex.
