For years, Neptune was shown to be “too blue" but researchers with the University of Oxford used modeling to show Uranus and Neptune are closer in color.

An extremely bright, hydrogen deficient, fast-evolving supernova that shines with the energy borrowed from an exotic type of neutron star with an ultra-powerful magnetic field has been spotted by Indian researchers.
A deep study of such ancient spatial objects can help probe the mysteries of the early universe, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) said. Supernovae (SNe) are highly energetic explosions in the universe releasing an enormous amount of energy. Such type of supernovae called SuperLuminous Supernova (SLSNe) are very rare. This is because they generally originated from very massive stars (minimum mass limit is more than 25 times that of the sun), and the number distribution of such massive stars in our galaxy or in nearby galaxies is sparse.
