In a rare occurrence, a bag of tools was lost by astronauts during a maintenance spacewalk outside the International Space Station on November 1. The bag has now become an additional artificial object that stargazers can spot in the night sky as it orbits the Earth at a slowing pace. During the six-hour-and-42-minute spacewalk, NASA …
Check out this astonishing new discovery: scientists have found a one-of-a-kind star system called HD110067, where six planets are orbiting in a rhythmically synchronized way. This rare phenomenon could provide valuable insights into the development and progression of planets. A study spearheaded by University of Chicago astronomer Rafael Luque might unveil crucial details about the …
The results suggest that the conditions for rocky planet formation can occur in a possible broader range of environments than previously thought, and a study of the conditions in an inner disk of the extreme environment Lobster Nebula, a massive star-forming region, is crucial for understanding planetary formation. Webb, which has the sensitivity to study …
Astronomers Make Groundbreaking Discovery of Circumstellar Disc around High-Mass Star in Another Galaxy In an unprecedented discovery, astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected a rotating disk around a high-mass star in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This observation marks the first time such a structure has been observed in another galaxy, offering …
Hubble Space Telescope Pinpoints Size of Nearby Exoplanet LTT 1445Ac NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has successfully measured the size of LTT 1445Ac, an Earth-sized exoplanet in a triple star system located in close proximity. Discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), this rocky planet shares a similar size to Earth but has surface temperatures …
Researchers have recently discovered a universal scaling law that relates to neutron stars, including magnetars, which may shed light on the mysterious phenomenon of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). By examining the sub-structure of their radio emissions, scientists were able to identify a commonality in their rotation periods, leading to an enhanced understanding of these celestial …
Brevard Space Coast launch sites rockets spaceX ULA NASA A quick look at which rockets lift off from various Brevard launch sites. SpaceX has an upcoming rocket launch window scheduled for Monday to launch more Starlink high-speed internet satellites into orbit. Although not officially confirmed, SpaceX’s 4½-hour launch window is set to open at 11 …
Astrophysicists using the NASA James Webb Space Telescope have made groundbreaking discoveries about teenage galaxies dating back to the first 2-3 billion years after the Big Bang. They found that these galaxies demonstrate unexpectedly high temperatures and contain elements such as nickel and oxygen, which are typically challenging to observe. This research is a part …
New Research Reveals Scientists are Baffled by Mysterious Cosmic Ray After a powerful cosmic ray was detected by a telescope in Utah, scientists are scrambling to solve the latest outer space puzzle. According to the authors of new research published in the journal Science on Thursday, the telescope spotted the most potent cosmic ray in …
Astrophysicists from the University of Utah and the Telescope Array have detected cosmic rays with energies that have surpassed previously known theoretical limits, posing a challenge to the existing understanding of particle physics. These groundbreaking findings have led to the discovery of rare particles such as the Oh-My-God and Amaterasu, and have sparked ongoing research …
