Astronomers find unique disc of debris around dead star | ESO News

Posted on: 27 Oct 2026, 9:00 am


Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have found a unique disc of debris around the white dwarf J1328−1450 -- the dead core of a star similar to our Sun. The star is surrounded not by one but two discs of gas, which are likely maintained by planetesimals that survived the star’s death. As these planetesimals orbit the star, they interact with dust grains around the star, releasing gas that ends up arranged in two discs. This video summarises the discovery.

Mars' Molten Heart is Long Gone, but Some Magma Chambers May Persist
Posted on: 9 Nov 2026

Mars may be more volcanically active than we thought, according to new research. The Trace Gas Orbiter detected HCl, a chemical associated with magma, at a time of year that's difficult except by volcanic origins. The new research also identified new surface fissures on Mars that could be the source of the chemical.
