Scientists Startled by Discovery of Small Star Swimming Through Outer Layers of Another Larger Star
A team of researchers in China have discovered a stunning binary system in which a stellar object known as a pulsar orbited inside the outer layers of its companion star — which it accomplished after stripping its host's innards and dispersing them into space. The findings, detailed in a new study published in the journal Science, are an incredibly rare example of a "spider star" that preys on its companion, so-named because of the female arachnids that devour males after mating. And tantalizingly, the grisly scene is some of the best evidence yet of a stage of stellar evolution called the common envelope phase, which has never been directly observed by astronomers. Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the incredibly dense stellar cores that are left over in the aftermath of a supernova. Everything about neutron stars exhaust superlatives — their gravity most of all. They are so tightly packed, containing more mass than our Sun inside a form just a dozen miles in radius, that all their atoms and their constituent protons and electrons have been crushed into neutrons, with just a teaspoon of this improbable matter weighing trillions of pounds. Their powerful magnetic fields, billions of times stronger than Earth's, unleash beams of radio waves into space along their poles. Further beggaring belief, some neutron stars become pulsars, which spin up to hundreds of times per second after siphoning material from a stellar companion, if it has one. Their sweeping beams of radiation, like cosmic lighthouses, look like a repeating signal to observers. The newly discovered pulsar, PSR J1928+1815, intrigued the astronomers because its radio pulses suggested that it was extremely close to its host, completing an orbit every 3.6 hours. They also noticed that for one-sixth of that orbit, the pulsar would vanish from view, indicating that the host was eclipsing it. "That's a large part of the orbit," coauthor Jin-Lin Han, a radio astronomer at the National Astronomical Observatories in Beijing, told Gizmodo. "That's strange, only a larger companion can do this." Over four and a half years, Han's team closely observed the system using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) in southern China, the largest and most powerful single-dish radio telescope in the world. Their observations revealed that the host star was between one to 1.6 times the mass of our Sun, while the pulsar was more likely 1.4 stellar masses. Determining the make of the host star, however, took some additional sleuthing. Its tight orbit and the fact that it was only detectable in radio wavelengths, Giz noted, ruled out its being a Sun-like star. And since it was large enough to eclipse the pulsar, it had to be something larger than a stellar remnant like another neutron star. That pointed to something altogether more spectacular: a helium star, created after the pulsar, when it was still an ordinary neutron star, tore off its host's layers and created a huge common envelope, a cloud of hydrogen gas that swallows both the stars. In this case, the poor star under attack managed to cling on to its evacuated innards for just 1,000 years — a blink in a stellar lifespan — before the whole, mighty envelope fell apart. Fleeting as it was, its impact is lasting: the friction exerted by the gases gradually nudged both stars closer together. Common envelopes are rare because the process of a neutron star stripping its companion, which causes it to spin and graduate to a pulsar, usually results in all the siphoned material being devoured. But if the companion is massive enough, much of it survives. The discovery marks the first spider star found orbiting a helium star. While the astronomers didn't get to witness the envelope in action, this is some of the most convincing evidence to date that this long-theorized stage of stellar evolution exists. In all, the team estimates that there're just 16 to 84 star systems like this one in the entire Milky Way — and, against all odds, we got to see one.

China's EV Market Faces Brutal Test After BYD's Aggressive Price Cuts
The world's largest auto market is in trouble, and it's taking some of its noted electric vehicle (EV) makers down with it. Shares of Chinese EV companies took a sharp hit recently, rattled by growing fears of a deepening price war and rising regulatory concerns. BYD Co Ltd. BYDDY plunged more than 9% yesterday to close at $107.33, while NIO Inc. NIO, XPeng XPEV, and Li Auto LI also ended the day in the red, down 3.4%, 3.3%, and 2.3%, respectively. This didn't seem like just another bad day—it looked like a sign of bigger trouble ahead. At the center of the storm is BYD, China's EV juggernaut. On the surface, its latest move looks like a gift to consumers—price cuts on 22 electric and plug-in hybrid models until the end of June. Its budget-friendly Seagull hatchback now starts at just 55,800 yuan (about $7,765), and the sleek Seal dual-motor hybrid sedan saw its price slashed by a whopping 34%, now starting at 102,800 yuan. Earlier this year, BYD rolled out cheaper versions of its Han sedans and Tang SUVs, trimming prices by over 10%. BYDDY carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. But this aggressive pricing strategy comes at a cost. With razor-thin margins and intensifying competition, China's EV industry is caught between growth and profitability. BYD's price cuts might boost volumes, but they'll undoubtedly squeeze profit margins. And that's not just for itself; the price war will likely erode margins for every other player trying to stay in the race. Li Auto saw its vehicle margin slip from 22.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 19.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. That's a red flag in a market where efficiency and pricing power are key to survival. NIO, on the other hand, has worked to improve its vehicle margins and even set a goal of hitting 20% for its namesake brand this year. But with BYD dragging prices down across the board and others likely to follow suit, that target suddenly looks overly ambitious. Then there's XPeng. While it managed to nudge its vehicle margin up from 10% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 10.5% in the first quarter of 2025, the sustainability of that progress is questionable. XPeng, like NIO, still isn't profitable, and every yuan shaved off car prices pushes breakeven further out of reach. NIO has publicly aimed to reach profitability by the end of 2025, but with this stiff pricing competition, that goal gets murkier. Retail discount levels remained elevated in the January-March 2025 period, and all signs point to a prolonged price war. The latest price cuts from BYD are likely to erode the market share of smaller and weaker competitors—unless they respond in kind, which would only deepen their losses. It's a vicious cycle that will test the resilience of the entire sector. Pressure is increasing on the supply chain too. Wei Jianjun, chairman of Great Wall Motor, didn't mince words last week. He compared the auto industry's current state to China's property crisis, suggesting that EV makers are pushing suppliers to the brink by demanding lower costs and delaying payments. The promise of China's EV boom lured in a wave of startups over the past decade. But many are now stuck in a price war that's undercutting profitability. NIO, XPeng and Li Auto all carved out niches with advanced tech and smart driving features, but even those are now being bundled into base models at no extra cost. The premium edge is fading fast. And it's not just market dynamics causing headaches. China's state planner recently issued a warning about excessive competition in some sectors, flagging concerns about companies selling cars below cost and undermining fair competition. BYD's latest round of cuts could well be the tipping point. It's forcing NIO, Li Auto, and XPeng into a dangerous game of catch-up. If margins continue to shrink and losses pile up, we could see an industry shakeout sooner than later. As earnings from Li Auto and NIO roll in over the coming days—following XPeng's already-released first-quarter numbers—the market will be watching closely. One thing is clear—China's EV market is entering a challenging new phase. Growth opportunities remain, but navigating pricing pressure will be critical.
