How to Land Safely on a Planet
Landing on a planet safely is dependent on several factors, including the planet’s size and gravity, the composition of its atmosphere, and the design and…
Images from the James Webb Space Telescope cast doubt on Cosmological Theories
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to provide groundbreaking insights into the early universe, and its images may call into question some of…
This Algorithm Can Make Satellite Signals Act Similarly to GPS Signals
Researchers have created an algorithm that can “eavesdrop” on any satellite signal and use it to find any spot on Earth, similar to GPS. This…
Astronomers are Ecstatic as a Black Hole Rips a Star in a Cosmic-Feeding Frenzy
More observations and computer simulations are needed to establish which of the two situations is responsible for the polarized light, as well as how rare…
Metal-deficient Stars are more Conducive to Life
Metal-poor stars, also referred to as Population II stars, have a lower abundance of heavy elements (metals) than the Sun and other metal-rich stars. These…
Pistol Nebula
The Pistol Nebula is a highly complex and active region of space located in the direction of the Galactic Center, approximately 25,000 light-years away from…
Scientists Map Strong Winds in a Distant Neutron Star System
Neutron stars are extremely dense objects formed when a massive star exhausts its fuel and collapses in on itself. They are so dense that a…
A Closer Examination of the M87 Black Hole
The M87 black hole is in the center of the M87 galaxy, which is 55 million light-years away from Earth. Thanks to the Event Horizon…
Images from the ESO Telescope to Date, the Planet has Orbited the Most Massive Star Pair
The Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has caught a picture of a planet orbiting b Centauri, a two-star system visible…
Data from Juno and Hubble Reveal that an Electromagnetic ‘tug-of-war’ Lights Up Jupiter’s Upper Atmosphere
Using data from NASA’s Juno probe and the Hubble Space Telescope, new Leicester space research has revealed, for the first time, a complex ‘tug-of-war’ lights…
Massive, High-velocity Prominence Eruption from a Superflare
