| Juno peers deep into Jupiter’s colorful belts and zones Posted: 28 Oct 2021 12:38 PM PDT A new study of data captured in orbit around Jupiter has revealed new insights into what's happening deep beneath the gas giant's distinctive and colorful bands. |
| Astronomers discover massive galaxy 'shipyard' in the distant universe Posted: 27 Oct 2021 02:26 PM PDT Astronomers have discovered a structure thought to be a 'protocluster' of galaxies on its way to developing into a galaxy supercluster. Observations show the protocluster, which is located 11 billion light-years from Earth, as it appeared when the universe was 3 billion years old, when stars were produced at higher rates in certain regions of the cosmos. |
| The upside-down orbits of a multi-planetary system Posted: 27 Oct 2021 09:21 AM PDT When planets form, they usually continue their orbital evolution in the equatorial plane of their star. However, an international team, led by astronomers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, has discovered that the exoplanets of a star in the constellation Pisces orbit in planes perpendicular to each other, with the innermost planet the only one still orbiting in the equatorial plane. Why so? This radically different configuration from our solar system could be due to the influence of a distant companion of the star that is still unknown. This study, to be read in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, was made possible by the extreme precision achieved by ESPRESSO and CHEOPS, two instruments whose development was led by Switzerland. |
| A lab in the sky: Physics experiment in Earth’s atmosphere could help improve GPS performance Posted: 27 Oct 2021 09:20 AM PDT The Earth's atmosphere has been used as a 'laboratory' to carry out a physics experiment which could help to improve the performance of GPS. |
| Making Martian rocket biofuel on Mars Posted: 27 Oct 2021 09:20 AM PDT Researchers have developed a concept that would make Martian rocket fuel, on Mars, that could be used to launch future astronauts back to Earth. |
| Astronomers may have discovered a planet outside of our galaxy Posted: 27 Oct 2021 06:49 AM PDT Signs of a planet transiting a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected. The finding opens up a new window to search for exoplanets at greater distances than ever before. |
| Carbon nanotubes could help electronics withstand outer space’s harsh conditions Posted: 27 Oct 2021 05:54 AM PDT Space missions, such as NASA's Orion that will take astronauts to Mars, are pushing the limits of human exploration. But during their transit, spacecrafts encounter a continuous stream of damaging cosmic radiation, which can harm or even destroy onboard electronics. To extend future missions, researchers show that transistors and circuits with carbon nanotubes can be configured to maintain their electrical properties and memory after being bombarded by high amounts of radiation. |
