| May 1st, 2024 12:58:09 EDT -0400 A 'cosmic glitch' in gravity Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. |
| April 30th, 2024 14:56:20 EDT -0400 Webb captures top of iconic horsehead nebula in unprecedented detail NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the sharpest infrared images to date of a zoomed-in portion of one of the most distinctive objects in our skies, the Horsehead Nebula. These observations show the top of the 'horse's mane' or edge of this iconic nebula in a whole new light, capturing the region's complexity with unprecedented spatial resolution. |

| April 29th, 2024 10:28:16 EDT -0400 Probing the effects of interplanetary space on asteroid Ryugu Samples reveal evidence of changes experienced by the surface of asteroid Ryugu, some probably due to micrometeoroid bombardment. |
| April 24th, 2024 11:15:01 EDT -0400 Eruption of mega-magnetic star lights up nearby galaxy While ESA's satellite INTEGRAL was observing the sky, it spotted a burst of gamma-rays -- high-energy photons -- coming from the nearby galaxy M82. Only a few hours later, ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray space telescope searched for an afterglow from the explosion but found none. An international team realized that the burst must have been an extra-galactic flare from a magnetar, a young neutron star with an exceptionally strong magnetic field. |
| April 23rd, 2024 13:51:59 EDT -0400 Toward unification of turbulence framework -- weak-to-strong transition discovered in turbulence Astrophysicists have made a significant step toward solving the last puzzle in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence theory by observing the weak to strong transition in the space plasma turbulence surrounding Earth with newly developed multi-spacecraft analysis methods. |
| April 22nd, 2024 12:07:40 EDT -0400 To find life in the universe, look to deadly Venus Despite surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead, lava-spewing volcanoes, and puffy clouds of sulfuric acid, uninhabitable Venus offers vital lessons about the potential for life on other planets, a new paper argues. |
| April 22nd, 2024 12:07:28 EDT -0400 Giant galactic explosion exposes galaxy pollution in action Astronomers have produced the first high-resolution map of a massive explosion in a nearby galaxy, providing important clues on how the space between galaxies is polluted with chemical elements. |
| April 22nd, 2024 12:05:49 EDT -0400 AI and physics combine to reveal the 3D structure of a flare erupting around a black hole Based on radio telescope data and models of black hole physics, a team has used neural networks to reconstruct a 3D image that shows how explosive flare-ups in the disk of gas around our supermassive black hole might look. |
| April 17th, 2024 13:11:13 EDT -0400 Astronomers uncover methane emission on a cold brown dwarf Astronomers have discovered methane emission on a brown dwarf, an unexpected finding for such a cold and isolated world. The findings suggest that this brown dwarf might generate aurorae similar to those seen on our own planet as well as on Jupiter and Saturn. |
| April 17th, 2024 13:10:41 EDT -0400 'Tube map' around planets and moons made possible by knot theory Scientists have developed a new method using knot theory to find the optimal routes for future space missions without the need to waste fuel. |
| April 16th, 2024 12:53:19 EDT -0400 No gamma rays seen coming from nearby supernova A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light those particles should produce. |
Jan 2013 - Two comets to get excited about. One is Comet PANSTARRS,
which will be brightest in March 2013. The other is Comet ISON, which might
become a daylight comet in late 2013. Although a comet’s movement in our sky
can be predicted, its brightness cannot be. It’s too early to know whether
Comet PANSTARRS or Comet ISON – the two exciting comets of 2013 – will dazzle
or fizzle.
Comet PANSTARRS
By October 2012, its surrounding coma was seen to be large and fine at an estimated 75,000 miles (120,000 kilometers) wide. In March 2013, by some estimates, this comet should get as bright as Venus,
Comet ISON
Last year, Russian astronomers Vitaly Nevsky and Artyom Novichonok discovered a new gigantic comet that is currently approaching Earth. The ISON comet, which is expected to become brighter than the full moon, will be visible to the naked eye by late 2013.
Comet ISON has only been visible through powerful telescopes. In November 2013, heat from the sun will vaporize ices in the comet's body, creating what could be a spectacular tail that will be visible in Earth's night sky without telescopes or even binoculars from about October 2013 through January 2014.
Comet ISON will come within 800,000 miles (1.2 million km) of our sun’s surface on November 28. That’s over 100 times closer to the sun than Earth. This close pass to the sun might cause Comet ISON to break to pieces. January 2014 may see a meteor shower produced by streams of debris from the ISON comet.
