The quest to find Earth-like planets beyond our solar system has led to the discovery of a new category of exoplanets known as “Super Earth.” These planets, larger than Earth but smaller than ice giants like Neptune, have captured the imagination of scientists and space enthusiasts alike. Among these, TOI-715 b stands out as a […]
JWST Unveils New Mysteries of Spiral Galaxies In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently marked a significant milestone. With its advanced capabilities, JWST has captured the most detailed and revealing images of spiral galaxies, providing astronomers and astrophysicists worldwide with unprecedented insights into these […]
Introduction The universe is a vast expanse filled with countless celestial wonders, each holding its unique mysteries and beauty. One such marvel that has fascinated astronomers and stargazers alike is the Sombrero Galaxy. But did you know that there’s another galaxy that closely resembles it? Recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope have introduced us […]
Introduction In an unprecedented breakthrough that is rewriting textbooks and reshaping our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the presence of quartz crystals in the atmosphere of the distant exoplanet WASP-17b. Far from being an arbitrary discovery, the identification of these crystals changes our entire comprehension of cloud composition […]
The cosmos is a treasure trove of celestial objects, each with its own unique story and significance. Among these cosmic wonders, “433 Eros”, a near-Earth asteroid, stands out as an intriguing and enigmatic celestial body. This small, rocky world has captivated the imagination of astronomers and space enthusiasts alike, offering valuable insights into the history […]
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 […]
News: Astronomers have detected the oldest known examples of complex organic molecules in the universe, a new study reports. These carbon-based molecules , called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, were found in an early galaxy that formed when the universe was only 10% of its current age. Lead author Justin Spilker, an astronomer from Texas A&M […]
News: Introduction: The James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled a breathtaking image showcasing the delicate interplay between dust, star clusters, and luminous tendrils of gas. This composite image, captured using two of Webb’s instruments, reveals the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, with its prominent central bar visible in the upper left corner. NASA Administrator Bill […]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is on a mission to uncover the mysteries surrounding the birth of the first stars and galaxies. Through its Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), the JWST aims to shed light on fundamental questions about how the early galaxies formed and the fascinating process of star birth. Already, JADES has […]
There’s a fascinating exoplanet 400 light-years away that’s so intriguing that astronomers have been researching it since its discovery in 2009. WASP-18 b takes only 23 hours to complete one orbit around its star (which is slightly larger than our Sun). Nothing like it exists in our solar system. WASP-18 b, an extrasolar planet ten […]
