White dwarfs are the final state of stars like our Sun at the end of their lives. Recently a Jupiter sized planet was discovered orbiting very close to a white dwarf. In this podcast, learn about this planet, its discovery and how it was studied using NASA and NOIRLab facilities.
Today’s topic: space medicine research with David Warmflash and news update! We have exoplanet Beta Pictoris c, the earth as the only one habitable planet, and first spaceport for Germany. #365DaysOfAstro with @WSHCrew
Two planets orbiting a nearby reddish star & up close and personal with a comet
New observations from the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab and other telescopes have found a planet that doesn’t quite match how astronomers expected planets to form.
Using the VLBA, the National Science Foundation’s Very Long Baseline Array of radio telescopes, astronomers have found a Saturn-sized planet orbiting a small, cool star that’s only 35 light years away!
A family portrait of exoplanet. How do solar sails work? What triggers a supernova explosion? @PaulMattSutter will discuss this topic on today’s #spaceradio at #365DaysOfAstro
New Exoplanet with star and planet resembles to the Sun and Earth. Well close but no cigar. More about it with @PaulMattSutter at #365DaysOfAstro
Not only have astronomers discovered thousands of exoplanets, but they’re even starting to study the atmospheres of worlds thousands of light years away. What can we learn about these other worlds and maybe even signs of life.
We’re all looking to the next generation of exoplanetary research where we get planets directly. But astronomers are already making great strides in directly observing newly forming planets help us understand how our solar system might have formed
In the accretion disc of AB Aurigae, astronomers observed a clear overall spiral structure with a little twist or a spiral kink in the accretion disc that marks the spot where a planet may be forming.
