(CN) — Scientists have discovered what is likely a recently formed galaxy, one with the lowest oxygen abundance on record, thanks to data obtained by Japan’s Subaru Telescope and innovative machine learning processes.Most observed galaxies are mature and young ones are few and far between. So this newly discovered galaxy, designated HSC J1631+4426, may provide useful data that could guide astronomers’ understanding of how galaxies form and evolve over time.“To find the very faint, rare galaxies, deep, wide-field data taken with the Subaru Telescope was indispensable,” said Takashi Kojima, a...…(CN) — Scientists have discovered what is likely a recently formed galaxy, one with the lowest oxygen abundance on record, thanks to data obtained by Japan’s Subaru Telescope and innovative machine learning processes.Most observed galaxies are mature and young ones are few and far between.

(CN) — Scientists have long speculated why the globe experienced rapid cooling almost 13,000 years ago. According to one hypothesis, a comet or meteor exploded in the Earth’s atmosphere, setting off the sudden temperature drop. But scientists published evidence Friday that a series of major volcanic eruptions better explain the ancient global cooling.Scientists learned about this cooling event, known as the , when ice cores drilled from Europe revealed that temperatures had dropped as much as 14 degrees Fahrenheit in the northern hemisphere 12,900 years ago.“The Younger Dryas was a cold...…(CN) — Scientists have long speculated why the globe experienced rapid cooling almost 13,000 years ago.
