Lab Finds Magnesium Dissolves Into Water in Neptune-like Conditions
In a new experiment, researchers studied what happens at the boundary between an ice giant’s high-pressure water layer and deeper rock layer.
Measured: Gas Motions in Planetary Nebulae
New data on planetary nebula NGC 1514 shows that this complex planetary nebula has a binary star system in its center, a morphology that is unique, and measurable motions.
New Solar Weather Models Help Satellites
A new software model has been released that should allow for solar radio activity to predicted on timescales of one to 24 months, helping predict space junk re-entries.
Magnetic Waves Drive Solar Activity
A new study uses high-resolution images of the Sun to study how magnetically driven Alfven waves carry energy through the Sun’s atmosphere.
North Atlantic Sensitive to Salt
Scientists have recently examined how circulation patterns in the North Atlantic have changed over time, especially with regard to carrying warm water to European coasts.
Climate Change Measured in Salt Deposits
When sea ice melts, salt deposits are left behind. Those salt deposits are then captured in ice cores, which can help tell a picture of climate change thousands of years ago.
What’s Up: Mercury at Sunset and Nova in Cassiopeia
Mercury will be visible at sunset for a few weeks, and the nova in Cassiopeia has suddenly brightened, making for unaided eye viewing.
Using GNSS to Monitor Large Seismic Events Can Save Lives
A new report explains how researchers can use the Global Navigational Satellite System to monitor Earth for deformation in the crust due to earthquakes, allowing for earlier tsunami warnings.
Detailed Images of Jupiter Showcase Capabilities of Multiwavelength Astronomy
A new image release from NOIRLab reveals stunning pictures of Jupiter taken in multiple wavelengths by Hubble and Gemini North, revealing unseen details.
Tiny ‘Unicorn’ Black Hole Found in Milky Way is Closest One to Earth
A tiny black hole just three solar masses has been found within the Milky Way about 1,500 light-years away, making it the closed black hole to Earth.
