Quasar winds flee, Bepicolombo on schedule for flyby, and Comet Atlas on display
Winds from a quasar in a distant galaxy are fleeing at a record rate, ESA’s Bepicolombo mission to proceed with flyby in spite of COVID-19, and Comet Atlas is on display in the night sky for all to enjoy. Links Quasar winds flee a distant galaxy Quasar winds...
Searching for dark matter in sterile neutrinos and hexaquarks
Scientists look for dark matter in places close to home – and study flickers of light that might be created by dark matter, called sterile neutrinos – to find the mysterious substance. And the discovery of stable 6-particle quarks called hexaquarks might...
Using evolution to hunt exoplanets, and ALMA sees gas jets influenced by black hole
Researchers have defined how our world would look to distant observers during each of the periods in time, and ALMA shows us the MG J0414+0534, a galaxy 11 billion light years away, a galaxy with a disturbed shape, that is due radio jets turning on in a young galaxy....
