Join us today as we look at six different astronomy stories. We start with a new clock of solar activity, then talk about three articles on updates to fundamental theories. We follow up with interstellar parallax observations and an exoplanet discovered through backyard astronomy.
Join us today while we talk about the early formation of stars and galaxies in the universe. We find some joy in an astronomer using 25-year old data to prove that Proxima c exists. And we learn about the Kepler-160 system which is very reminiscent of our own Sun-Earth system.
Join us today while we take a look at Fermi bubbles and their relationship to the Magellanic Stream. We examine new research on the origin galaxies of some Fast Radio Bursts. And we learn about how Mars’ moon Deimos provided evidence that Mars once had a ring.
Join us today as we discuss the impressive work by an undergraduate student who figured out how galaxy mergers influence the growth of supermassive black holes. We talk about a gigantic galaxy found in the early universe. And finally, we look at amazing images of a planet being formed around a distant star.
Join us today as we talk about gravitational lensing, new candidates for lenses, and how the search for Dark Energy could progress. We also look at a mud monster that is actually a lab experiment showing how mud could flow like lava on Mars. Next, we enjoy that the TRAPPIST-1 planets are orbiting as expected. And finally, we give a quick shoutout to researchers everywhere using their equipment to help in the fight against COVID-19.
