Join us today as we consider a new paper on why pulsars shine so brightly (hint: it’s those pesky magnetic fields). We take a look at new images of Antares’ massive atmospheric layers. Finally, we share a story from our own Planetary Science Institute: evidence has been found that there are volcanic craters on Saturn’s moon, Titan.
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 look at astronomy stories from around the world: observing the start-up of a pulsar from a grad student in Australia; observing gamma rays with a new prototype telescope in Arizona; and observing giant magnetic spots with the European Southern Observatory.
