Looking far into space to analyze early universe timeline means peering back in time. The more distant the object, the earlier we see the Universe’s history. This is a way to see what the Universe was like shortly after the Big Bang. Einstein’s theory of relativity and Time’s slower movement Albert Einstein’s famous theory, […]
TRAPPIST-1 c Atmosphere’s Analysis A team of scientists from around the world used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to calculate the amount of heat energy emitted by TRAPPIST-1 c, a rocky exoplanet. The findings indicate that, if there is indeed an atmosphere, it is remarkably tenuous. TRAPPIST-1 c, with a dayside temperature of approximately 380 […]
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: The gas between stars and galaxies was non-transparent in the early universe, and intense starlight could not penetrate it. However, 1 billion years after the great bang, the gas was entirely transparent. But what could be the possible reason for the gas being non-opaque? Why Were the Galaxies in the Early Universe Not Transparent? […]
In order to detect any sort of small features of the solar wind, NASA’s Parker Solar probe has flown near enough to our sun. And revealed about its origin that is “coronal holes” in the sun’s atmosphere. “A Blessing in a Disguise”? How is it Possible? Scientists may now be able to better forecast solar […]
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 […]
Space Telescope Science Institute’s Telescope Allocation Committee outlines the target selection procedure for the next cycle of Webb observations, sparking celebration among astronomers worldwide. What is the purpose of the peer-review process? “On May 10, the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s science operations center, announced the scientific program for Cycle […]
