New images taken with the ALMA Observatory show a young proto-stellar disk with the rings and gaps of planetary formation growing together, once again challenging our preconceptions. And other research into stellar formation adds heavy metals to the mix to match models to observations. Plus an old, metal-poor galaxy halo.
Join us for this week’s Rocket Roundup with host Annie Wilson as we look back at the launches that happened from the past week, including one from China and one from Russia.
Research from our home Planetary Science Institute shows that the dune fields on Mars provide solid evidence for lithification and burial. Plus, Carina Nebula has been imaged with adaptive optics and looks amazing! And we take a look at the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics.
Using huge telescopes, researchers have discovered a Large Scale Structure of six galaxies around a seventh galaxy with a supermassive black hole, back in the first billion years of the Universe. Plus Hubble captures a time-lapse of a fading supernova and beta Pictoris c is directly imaged.
Join us today for a first-ever double feature episode. Dr. Pamela and Beth will cover the latest in astronomy and planetary science.
