Two seemingly unrelated stars, each with several exoplanets, turn out to be members of an enormous, diffuse star cluster. Plus, baby squid go to the ISS, new images from China’s Zhurong rover, a brightening blazar, and an interview with scientist Sophia Gad-Nasr and artist Cathrin Machin about how art and science work together.
Are we alone in the Universe? It’s one of the biggest scientific questions we can possibly ask. And yet, with rovers on Mars, missions planned to visit Europa and Ganymede. Powerful telescopes able to detect the atmospheres of exoplanets, we’re closer than ever to finding out the answer.
Today’s news examines many of the ways to understand Earth’s atmosphere as well as the atmospheres of exoplanets to figure out the best way to tell if there is life on another world.
HD 139139 or “Random Transiter” had 28 random sharp narrow dips in brightness in only 87 days. And Perhaps new discoveries will be made from the lunar surface by building lunar telescope.
Time for new update! The #MarsHelicopter is flying on the red planet! And it’s time for TREXing Around The Moon With Dr. Amanda Hendrix and many other stories including Crew 2 Spaceflight and SpaceX wins the Moon
Extrasolar planet research is a hot topic in astronomy. Astronomers are continually trying to build new instruments to measure the properties of planets orbiting other stars. One new instrument is called MAROON-X on the Gemini North Telescope in Hawai’i.
This week @WSHcrew discuss with Dr. David Kipping abut exoplanet. It also time for news update with universe expansion rate, superlasers, and new rocket of RocketLab
This is gonna be another one of those evergreen topics where we come back again and again. Finding planets. Every time we talk about this now it seems like we’ve gained thousands of new planets. Well, buckle up! New techniques will grow that by tens of thousands and even millions!
A new system has been found that consists of six stars in three binary pairs, which are producing a bevy of eclipses with each other. They were found in TESS data with the help of machine learning
What’s up in February night sky? And check out the news roundup for this month. There’s a hot Jupiter with transparent atmosphere, 3D Map of invisible brown dwarf and on top of that, ESA CHEOPS discovered exoplanets with rare rhythm around their parent star
