Scientists have discovered nearly 300 planets that exist beyond our solar system. These are known as Exo planets. The most peculiar Exo planets are pulsar planets. Unlike most planets that orbit a star these planets orbit a neutron star. This star is a fast spinning neutron star called a pulsar which omits pulsing radio emissions. In the 1990’s scientists discovered a trio of pulsar planets in the constellation Virgo, about 900 light years away from earth.
A pulsar (neutron star) is the remnants of a supernova. The pulsar planets discovered in the ...

Astronomers have discovered interstellar clouds filled with ethyl alcohol. This is the same alcohol that we drink. These are giant molecular clouds and are enormous complex clouds formed from dust and gas. Some of these interstellar clouds are up to 1000 times the size of our own solar system. These interstellar dust clouds serve as a meeting place where lonely molecules can form into more complex molecules.
Their dense structure allows the formation of a cosmic distillery. In these interstellar molecular clouds it is the dust grains that server as the ...
