If we send telescopes out to 4 light days we can use the gravity of the sun to amplify the power of telescopes by 100 billion times. Although we can build larger telescopes with higher resolution near to Earth, the …
Xenon Experiments have detected a bunch of energy events in the 1-7 kilovolt data, which could be an indication of dark matter or contamination of their experiments. There are three possibilities for the readings: It could be axions which are …
There may be as many as one Earth-like planet for every five Sun-like stars in the Milky way Galaxy, according to new estimates by University of British Columbia astronomers using data from NASAs Kepler mission. To be considered Earth-like, a …
Breakthrough measurements of exoplanet Proxima B were made with radial velocity measurements of unprecedented precision using ESPRESSO, the Swiss-manufactured spectrograph the most accurate currently in operation which is installed on the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Proxima b …
1. Chandra X-Ray Space Telescope – Can Black Hole Tidal Disruptions Leave Remnants? 2. Cosmoquest – A star that had a brush with a giant black hole and lived to tell the tale through exclamations of X-rays 3. The Hill …
A new design could enable affordable exploration of Venus and other harsh environments. The Venus surface temperatures near 460°C and pressures of 93 bar have made long-duration surface missions infeasible. The atmosphere is also caustic and has a dense cloud …
Hbar Technologies looks at using Breakthrough Starshot laser acceleration to reach Proxima Centauri and then use antimatter propulsion to decelerate. This would not be a flyby mission where a mission would pass through the solar system at 10% of the …
The Carnival of Space 659 is up at Urban Astronomer. Universe Today Are the Gaps in These Disks Caused by Planets? Above – This is the sharpest image ever taken by ALMA sharper than is routinely achieved in visible …
Researchers used a highly sensitive technique to examine 16 samples from two different meteorites to find new superconducting alloys. One meteorite formed in the iron core of an asteroid and one flung off a planets surface by a collision. Above …
Nuclear physicists at the University of York are putting forward a new candidate for dark matter a particle they recently discovered called the d-star hexaquark. Up to 80% of the Universe could be dark matter, but despite many decades …
