Humans are typically quite adept at recognizing mistakes, but artificial intelligence systems are not.
The birth of planets in a binary star system has been witnessed
In unprecedented detail, astronomers have observed primordial material that may be giving birth to three planetary systems around a binary star.
A nearby star may help explain why our Sun hasn't seen sunspots in 70 years
The amount of sunspots on our Sun generally ebbs and flows in an 11-year cycle, but one extraordinary 70-year period when sunspots were very uncommon…
