Fast Radio Bursts Include Lower Frequency Radio Waves, Too!
A team discovered that a fast radio burst emitted energy at longer radio wavelengths which arrived three days after the initial higher energy waves were observed.
Upcoming Lucy Mission Team Discovers Target Asteroid is Binary
Pre-flight observations for the Lucy mission to Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids has found that Eurybates is actually a binary asteroid and breaks down the overall shape of the asteroids in each group.
OSIRIS-REx Booped Bennu Harder Than Expected
New images from the OSIRIS-REx mission show just how hard the TAGSAM event punched the rubble pile asteroid, plunging half a meter below the surface.
New Aurora Phenomenon Identified: The Space Hurricane
A research team combed through thousands of aurora images to understand why aurorae occur when the solar wind is quiet and found several dozen instances, and one event, in particular, lasted for eight hours.
Ultralight Bosons Not Found Around Fast-Spinning Black Holes
Scientists look for fast-spinning, old black holes to disprove the existence of ultralight bosons, which would be attracted to the black holes and then slow them down, and they find two such SMBHs.
KATRIN Experiment Hunts For Sterile Neutrinos
The KATRIN experiment is looking for sterile neutrinos alongside known neutrinos and has so far ruled out masses between 3 and 30 electronvolts.
The Underwater Search For Neutrinos
New neutrino detectors are being built by stringing sensors in grids in the Mediterranean, in Russia’s Lake Baikal, and off the western coast of Canada.
Oxygen-poor Galaxy May Contain Stellar Shrapnel
Astronomers find a second oxygen-poor, iron-rich galaxy and theorize that its massive stars were made prior to the creation of heavy elements in the early universe.
What’s Up: Crescent Moon and the Lyrids
Go outside, take a look at the Moon and Mars, then kick back in the early morning to watch the Lyrids meteor shower as it gets set to peak.
Sixty Years of Fission Power and the Hunt for Fusion
