Supermassive black holes reside in some of the biggest galaxies in the universe. They tend to be billions of times more massive that our Sun, and not even light itself can escape a black hole once it gets too close. But it’s not all darkness. Supermassive black holes... by admin | Oct 16, 2023 | astronomy, Nasa, News, Planets, space, Space News, The Conversation
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft flew by Earth on Sept. 24, 2023, dropping off its sample of dust and pebbles gathered from the surface of near-Earth asteroid Bennu. Analysis of this sample will help scientists understand how the solar system formed and from what sorts of... by admin | Sep 15, 2023 | Aliens, James Webb Telescope, K2-18B, Nasa, News, Planets, space, Space News, The Conversation
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has shown that an exoplanet around a star in the constellation Leo has some of the chemical markers that, on Earth, are associated with living organisms. But these are vague indications. So how likely is it that this... by admin | Jul 16, 2023 | Nasa, News, Planets, Radio waves, space, Space News, stars, The Conversation
We have identified the coldest star ever found to produce radio waves – a brown dwarf too small to be a regular star and too massive to be a planet. Our findings, published today in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, detail the detection of pulsed radio emission from... by admin | Jul 2, 2023 | astronomy, News, Planets, Science, space, Space News, The Conversation
The search for planets outside our Solar System – exoplanets – is one of the most rapidly growing fields in astronomy. Over the past few decades, more than 5,000 exoplanets have been detected and astronomers now estimate that on average there is at least one planet... by admin | Jun 21, 2023 | Nasa, News, Planets, space, Space News, The Conversation
We all used to think there were nine planets. But in 2006 the solar system was left with only eight planets, when Pluto was no longer classified as such. Is it still possible there is a planet out there beyond Neptune – possibly way beyond it? In the last 20 years, we...
