  2. Differences in elemental composition of one of two binary stars, presumably formed at the same time, suggests that one of them consumed a rocky planet with a mass more than 11 times that of Earth. Other binary stars have been observed to have similar differences.

  12. The Stars of Nowhere

    The beginning is more than everything 
    The minute is a bullet drilling through
    the floor, hitting us square in the head
    reveals a point in time in nothing flat
    a scribble is worth more than a drawing.

    If I look up at night,
    point me at nowhere
    where the stars shine
    but are no longer.

    Waterfalls of stars pour from the skies
    rays of light spit into night
    organic molecules hurled out of sight
    hit me right between my eyes
    never believe a word until it’s said.

    If I look up at night
    Point me nowhere
    where the stars shine
    but are no longer.

  19. Good #Morning!

    #Orion rising, summer is truly over...

    At least the #stars are consistent.

  20. Every night as the Earth moves 'round, I never get tired of seeing Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka in my crosshair of the dark sky. They are always there in beauty.

  21. Things in the Universe that make you go Hmmmm!

    Astronomers spot a new object. It appears to be a star as big as our solar system emitting 100 billion times more energy than any known star can physically produce?

    Is this a "black hole star" MIT astronomers are asking .... Scientists indicate the most likely explanation for this strange new red dot is that it is a mashup of a black hole and a star. phys.org/news/2026-08-black-ho

  23. The Sodden Astronomer

    They say, Do not look at the stars,
    or you will step into holes
    and sink your shoes in mud.

    So you can keep your eyes
    fixed on the ground,
    safe from puddles,
    safe from falling,
    and miss the lights
    burning above in the dark—

    except for a stolen glance,
    a hurried sip of heaven.

    Or you can throw
    caution to the wind,
    lift your thirsty face
    to those bright jewels
    sewn into black velvet,

    and stumble on
    with wet feet.
