Astronomers Find Strange Radio Waves Coming From the Galactic Center
Astronomers have recently observed peculiar radio waves emitting from our galactic center. Researchers say the radio waves don’t resemble any previous variable radio source. This data suggests that the signals may come from a new cosmic object in the Milky Way. Could it be aliens attempting to communicate with us? Researchers aren’t sure, but it’s…

Scientists Find a Protein That Helps Make Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
A new study reveals a protein that helps make an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s possible. Scientists found that abnormal blood levels of many proteins could signal the development of dementia up to five years before diagnosis. Before these findings, most of these proteins did not connect to dementia or Alzheimer’s. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins…

Harvard Astronomers Now Have a Better Idea of How Stars Form
Harvard astronomers have discovered an enormous cavity in space that may shed new light on how stars form. They unearthed the sphere-shaped phenomenon while analyzing 3D maps and sizes of nearby molecular clouds. This massive cavity may explain how supernovae lead to star formation. The cavity spans about 150 parsecs, or nearly 500 lightyears, according…
