Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star that can be easily spotted as a bright red dot on the shoulder of the Orion constellation. Even if you had never heard the name before It is a well-known feature in the night sky. Betelgeuse has become more noticeable in recent years due to changes in its appearance. […]
In 2013, scientists found a large gas planet similar to Jupiter. It is exoplanet ROXs 42Bb which is located about 500 light-years away. It orbits a cooler, dimmer M-type star which is 1.34 times wider than our Sun. Radius, Weight & Diameter: This gas giant, named ROXs 42Bb has a radius 1.12 times that of […]
Astronomers have seen meteor-like streaks, the shooting stars on the sun’s surface that have never been seen before. However, it would help if you didn’t try to catch these falling stars. What was the scientist’s perspective on the discovery of shooting stars? “If humans were aliens who could live on the sun’s surface, we would […]
Astronomers frequently use numerous telescopes to observe things in space like sonifications. Each telescope adds its information to whatever is being examined because it can all detect distinct kinds of light. Sonifications release in Astronomy Similarly, sonification is helpful in converting digital data into sound. In some ways, this is akin to how different […]
Have you ever heard about a tiny collapsed star turning into a big diamond? Yes, that is true! As we all know the star is a white tiny item and the shriveled shell of a sun-like star that burnt off most of its fuel before collapsing. But, let’s find out what happens that become a […]
Hubble captures “shadow puppets” as scientists observe the young star TW Hydrae with NASA’s iconic space telescope.” Prior Observation of the Shadows: In 2017, scientists reported finding a shadow moving across the surface of the red dwarf star’s encircling gas and dust disk, which has the appearance of a large pancake. The inner disk, which […]
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has enabled an international team of researchers to determine the temperature of TRAPPIST-1 b, a rocky exoplanet. The measurement of temperature relies on the planet’s emission of thermal energy. It is in the form of infrared light that the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) of the Webb telescope detected de. The team’s […]
Astronomers are getting closer to identifying sources of continuous gravitational waves. This is all thanks to analyses of Scorpius X-2, a neutron star accreting matter from a low-mass binary companion. Astronomers progress in detecting gravitational waves! So far, cosmologists have only identified gravitational waves in the form of brief bursts from black hole-neutron star mergers. […]
After the successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT), NASA is not taking any breaks. NASA is nowhere near stopping, instead of that this space research organization has announced to development of a new large space telescope. In the 241st AAS Meeting, NASA shared James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) new findings and updates. […]
