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 …
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 …
Scientists have recently developed an extraordinary artificial intelligence-based method that can distinguish between biological and abiotic samples with an accuracy of 90%. This groundbreaking method has the potential to transform space exploration and our understanding of life’s origins, with applications in various fields such as biology and archaeology. Here are the key takeaways from this …
A groundbreaking study suggests that a real-life “Jurassic World” could potentially exist on another planet, shedding light on the possibility of alien species resembling Earth’s dinosaurs. Published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal, the study challenges the idea of habitable planets being much closer than we think. Lead author Lisa Kaltenegger …
Recent findings on the exoplanet named WASP-107b have uncovered a strange and unusual world that has intrigued astronomers since its discovery in 2017. The giant gas planet located 200 million lightyears away with a “fluffy” and light composition resembling cotton candy, has been discovered through recent observations to be an even stranger world than previously …
Saturn’s magnificent rings are currently visible in the evening sky, as an ideal time to view through telescopes. Some misinformation suggests the rings are disappearing by 2025, but that is a misinterpretation. In reality, the rings are expected to seem to disappear in 2025 due to an astronomical phenomenon. They will reappear thereafter. Currently, it …
James Webb Space Telescope Supports the Formation of Planets from Drifting Icy Pebbles The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed that icy pebbles are responsible for the formation of planets, delivering evidence to support this theory. These icy pebbles are believed to migrate toward newborn stars from the cooler regions of the disks surrounding them. …
The deep Earth mantle is home to large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs) that have long puzzled scientists. However, a recent study led by Caltech reveals that these LLVPs may hold the key to understanding the ancient planet Theia and its collision with Earth, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Moon. The existence of the …
