On January 20 at 07:26 UTC, Rocket Lab launched their eighteenth Electron rocket for the mission “Another One Leaves The Crust”
Quantum Internet Possible With Drones
Researchers have used drones to transmit photons across a kilometer of air and have found they can keep the particles quantum-entangled through this journey.
World Record Laser Link Could Help Prove Einstein Was Right
A recent test of a laser “phase stabilization” technology allowed Australian researchers to correct for atmospheric turbulence in three dimensions.
Galaxy Collisions Can Starve Massive Black Holes
If a small galaxy hits a larger galaxy just right, it can shape the resulting material into a torus and actually starve the black hole.
Tidal Dwarf Galaxy Provides Evidence of Star Formation
During massive galaxy collisions, streams of material can get torn out of the merging systems, and this debris can form tidal dwarf galaxies, which are new systems made of old material and are capable of star formation.
TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets All Have Very Similar Compositions
The density of all the worlds orbiting TRAPPIST-1 has turned out to be about 8% less than Earth, and researchers came up with three hypotheses to explain why.
First Cloudless Hot Jupiter Discovered
WASP-62b is a hot Jupiter about 575 light-years away and half the mass of our own Jupiter that only takes 4.5 days to orbit its star… and apparently cloudless.
TOI-178 With Six Planets in Orbital Resonance Challenges Formation Theories
The star TOI-178 has six planets orbiting it, and five of those planets are in resonance with each other, causing scientists to question planet formation theories.
Lots of water in the world’s most explosive volcano
Shiveluch is considered the most explosive volcano in the world and scientists want to understand why, so a team set about to collect what we call “primitive magma”.
Two Steps of Our Solar Sytem’s Formation
A new paper in Science looks at how our solar system formed in a two-step process that split up the planets into “dry” terrestrial planets and “wet” outer planets.
