Color (giy) PS1 image of Dracula’s Chivito. Credit: arXiv (2024). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2402.01063 By analyzing the images obtained with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS), astronomers have serendipitously discovered a new protoplanetary disk located some 800 light years away. The finding was reported in a paper published February …

Hubble image of Markarian 817. Credit: NASA Black holes are like temperamental toddlers. They spill food all the time, but ESA’s XMM-Newton has caught a black hole in the act of “flipping over the table” during an otherwise civilized meal. This act prevents the galaxy surrounding the black hole from …

A quantum experiment that could separate a particle’s properties from its mass has physicists arguing over how reality works in the quantum world Source link

Dark matter in the Coma Cluster region. The distribution of dark matter calculated based on this research (dark green cloud) is overlayed on an image of the Coma Cluster and more distant background galaxies taken by the Subaru Telescope. Strands of dark matter can be seen extending millions of light …

Potential effect of simulated microgravity on astronaut’s microbiome. Credit: Frontiers in Microbiology (2024). DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1237564 Space exploration is a complex and risky mission that requires careful preparation and a thorough understanding of the challenges inherent to life in space. One of the most critical aspects of this endeavor is the …

This artist’s illustration depicts the findings of a new study about the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy called Sagittarius A* (abbreviated as Sgr A*). As reported in our latest press release, this result found that Sgr A* is spinning so quickly that it is warping spacetime—that …

This Feb. 13, 2010 image provided by NASA shows Saturn’s moon Mimas and it’s large Herschel Crater, captured by the Cassini spacecraft. The crater is 130 kilometers (80 miles) wide. Astronomers have reported the best evidence yet of a vast, relatively new ocean beneath the icy exterior of Mimas, believed …

Credit: Texas A&M AgriLife photo by Jessica Atkins A recent preprint posted to bioRxiv investigates how chickpeas have been successfully grown in lunar regolith simulants (LRS), marking the first time such a guideline has been established not …

It’s a scenario made famous by the 1998 film “Armageddon”: an asteroid is spotted on a collision course with Earth, and experts scramble to plan a space mission to rendezvous with the asteroid and mitigate the danger. It’s classic science fiction, but did you know there is a very real …
