What forces people to lose trust in science? How does this affect the process of science itself? What are scientists doing to make this worse? How can we fix it?
We’ve discussed star formation in the past, but now we wanted to talk about the different kinds of stellar nurseries we see across the Universe. It takes a village of gas and dust to raise a star.
We may be able to learn about the possibilities of life on Mars by studying land forms on the Tibetan Plateau here on Earth. And what motivates asteroid hunters? Large dangerous asteroids are still out there to find.
Once upon a time, there were seven suns in the sky and the world was very hot. People suffered from the heat of the sun and a very confident archer fights to shoot down the sun. More about this story on #365daysOfAstro
Dr. Pamela is big on volcanoes, and she hoped we’d have an awesome new eruption to report, but we don’t. Instead, we have the first images from a new spacecraft, updates on Lucy’s discovery of a contact binary, and more on the OSIRIS-REx sample return.
Festive silliness (bit naughty!) a review of the space and astronomy year and a look ahead to what 2024 has in store for us. Not forgetting the outtakes!
Up until now, the quest to find evidence of active volcanism on other worlds has been limited to our own solar system. With the advent of the JWST era, however, more possibilities have opened up.
Proxima Centauri-b is the closest exoplanet to Earth and lies within the habitable zone of its star. And not only that, but it’s in the habitable zone!
With Christmas here today, we thought we’d investigate a mystery that has puzzled historians for hundreds of years.What are some possible astronomical objects that might look like such a bright star in the sky?
