Figuring out how much energy permeates the center of the Milky Way — a discovery reported in the July 3 edition of the journal Science Advances — could yield new clues to the fundamental source of our galaxy’s power, said L. Matthew Haffner of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The Milky Way’s nucleus thrums with hydrogen that has been ...
Life on Earth would not be possible without the Moon; it keeps our planet’s axis of rotation stable, which controls seasons and regulates our climate. However, there has been considerable debate over how the Moon was formed by studying the Moon’s craters. The popular hypothesis contends that the Moon was formed by a Mars-sized body ...
The existence of water, in the form of ice, has been confirmed on the Moon. The evidence has given NASA potential ideas for establishing a space economy, which can propel the future of lunar expeditions. Water on the Moon In mid-2018, a team of scientists, headed by Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii and ...
Our universe is not made of stars and planets that are neatly ordered into infinity. There are numerous anomalies, strange systems, and wonderful sights all within the observable part of the universe. What’s happening over on the other side is anyone’s guess. We’ve been taught about the planets in our solar system and we’re quite ...
When physicists talk about the universe, they don’t really mean the entire universe. They’re referring to the observable universe. And that’s not much. It’s just the part we’ve so far been able to see. When physicists talk about the multiverse or parallel universes, they are referring to distinct hypothesized models for the universe. These are ...
Over the course of 182 days, the eROSITA X-ray telescope has completed its first full sweep of the sky that it embarked upon about a year ago. This new map of the hot, energetic universe contains more than 1 million objects, roughly doubling the number of known X-ray sources discovered over the 60-year history of ...
The aliens came on Oct. 19, 2017. That was the day telescopes picked up a strange object with an odd, elongated shape that moved like a comet — but had no apparent tail. The object, which baffled astronomers and led some to claim it could be a spacecraft sent by intelligent life, was named ‘Oumuamua, ...
New results from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope suggest the formation of the first stars and galaxies in the early Universe took place sooner than previously thought. A European team of astronomers has found no evidence of the first generation of stars, known as Population III stars, as far back as when the Universe was ...
Research from the University of Sheffield has found that the chance of finding Earth-like planets in their early stages of formation is much higher than previously thought. The team studied groups of young stars in the Milky Way to see if these groups were typical compared to theories and previous observations in other star-forming regions ...
With the landing success of Chang’e-4 on the far side of the Moon, China is poised to launch Chang’e-5 in late 2020. As the first part of the Chang’e Lunar Exploration Program’s (CLEP) Phase 3, the unmanned expedition is expected to transport lunar samples from the Moon back to Earth. According to China Aerospace Science ...
