Astronomers have just made an exciting new discovery – a young planet whirling around a petulant red dwarf star is changing in unpredictable ways orbit-by-orbit. Located 32 light-years from Earth, the parent star AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is only 100 million years old – a tiny fraction of the age of our own Sun. The … Read more
A young planet, roughly four times the size of Earth, orbiting a petulant red dwarf star. 32 light-years away, this planet — known as AU Mic b — experiences a consistent torrent of energy from its host star, causing its hydrogen atmosphere to puff off the planet. What’s truly remarkable is that the planet’s atmosphere … Read more
This image,captured by the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, reveals a white dot near the center of Uranus’ blue-green disk.That white dot is the icy moon Ariel, casting a shadow onto the cloud tops of Uranus.Imagine, if you will, what this looks like from Uranus’ perspective. It must seem like a solar eclipse, watching as Ariel’s … Read more
James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a remarkable image of two actively forming stars, Herbig-Haro 46/47. These stars appear as an orange-white splotch in the center of the photo’s red diffraction spikes. Herbig-Haro 46/47 is an important object to study, as it is extremely young, having only been around for a few thousand years. By … Read more
The James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) is making groundbreaking discoveries in the outer reaches of universe. Recently, it has detected water vapour in the inner disc of the system PDS 70, located 370 light-years away. This is the first detection of water in the terrestrial region of a disc already known to host … Read more
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond? Well, thanks to NASA’s Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes, we can now get a glimpse of something truly remarkable. A new image captured by these two amazing tools is looks more like an abstract painting than cosmic snapshot. It depicts the … Read more
Chandra is studying a galaxy in the constellation Pisces, and nearby in the sky is the barred spiral galaxy UGC 678. It was here that a robotic telescope scanning the night sky in search of threatening asteroids discovered evidence of an enormous supernova explosion that occurred in 2020. Supernovae a powerful events that happen when … Read more
Have you ever seen a bright star photobombing an image taken from space? It is easy to miss, but if you look closely at the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope capture of Arp 263, an irregular galaxy located 25 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, you will find an unexpected sight. The bright star BD+17 … Read more
