[ad_1] Astronomers now have a way to figure out how gas-giant planets form, thanks to a discovery by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of ammonia "isotopologues," which are molecules that contain the same elements but with differing numbers of neutrons.The nucleus...

[ad_1] Back to Article List After coming up empty in other planetary systems, NASA’s flagship telescope has found the best evidence yet of a rich atmosphere around a rocky exoplanet. This is a NASA illustration from 2022 showing what exoplanet 55 Cancri e could look...

[ad_1] The Gum Nebula is an emission nebula almost 1400 light-years away. It’s home to an object known as “God’s Hand” among the faithful. The rest of us call it CG 4. Many objects in space take on fascinating, ethereal shapes straight out of someone’s psychedelic...

[ad_1] Agency 03/05/2024 287 views 12 likes ESA is committed to almost halve its greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy consumption by 2025 compared to 2019 levels. But how can ESA keep accelerating the use of space for the sustainable development of society while...

[ad_1] Thanks to next-generation satellite systems scientists have in place, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES-R series, scientists are able to get high-definition images of Earth faster than ever before. This is data that helps paint a...

[ad_1] The hypothesized Planet Nine is a distant, massive planet in our solar system. Credit: NASA Recent papers by Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, both astronomers at Caltech, are providing a whole new line of evidence in support of the existence of our solar...

[ad_1] Does another undetected planet languish in our Solar System’s distant reaches? Does it follow a distant orbit around the Sun in the murky realm of comets and other icy objects? For some researchers, the answer is “almost certainly.” The case for Planet Nine...
