Climate change is a leading problem in today’s society, and today we have a quartet of stories on its affect on the world around us. Plus, more coverage from the AAS meeting with three stories on black holes, as well as dating supernovae, breaking a star, and magnetic chaos in a galaxy.
Theoretical physicists have found a way to possibly detect primordial black holes which could lead to answers about dark matter and maybe even the existence of a multiverse.
Scientists using Hubble to track storms on Neptune found that a current storm has reversed direction and possibly shed a fragment. Plus, an update on Hayabusa2’s sample return, a non-technological radio emission from an exoplanet, This Week in Sky Watching, and more!
HD 106906 b is an exoplanet 336 light years away, 11 times the size of Jupiter, and possibly an analog of our own not-yet-discovered Planet 9.
A massive black hole should be in galaxy cluster Abell 2261. Observations with Chandra and Hubble haven’t located it. Plus, classifying supernovae with AI, neutron stars, the lithium composition problem, and more planetary science.
The release of the Gaia space telescope’s Early Data Release 3 has paved the way for a 3D map of the Milky Way, a glimpse at its history, and the acceleration of our own solar system.
Once again, we find that dust is the culprit, this time causing a black hole to cast shadows out from the heart of its galaxy. Plus, a megaflood on ancient Mars, a fossil galaxy in the Milky Way, another minimoon for Earth, newborn jets and more.
Today we’re bringing you the news from a fast radio burst in our galaxy to the first brown dwarf discovered using radio telescopes.
Today, we have update on Bennu sampling situation. Next, the top stories, where SOFIA airborne telescope found water in a sunlit crater on the Moon, and another team has found water ice reservoirs. Plus, the search for Planet Nine, studying asteroid Psyche 16, and the magnetic fields at a jellyfish galaxy.
ESO telescopes captured the last moments of a star being destroyed by a black hole in a tidal disruption event.
