Astronomers unveil first direct image of young exoplanet just 63 light-years away
An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. The star […]

NASA details complex mission to collect rock samples from asteroid Bennu
In just a few weeks, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be making history as it attempts to collect its first rock samples from an asteroid. The autonomous spacecraft OSIRIS-REx will be touching down briefly on the asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20. Through its robotic arm, it will scoop rocks on the landing site Nightingale, a 52-foot […]

Moon-creating collision may have stripped up to 60 percent of ancient Earth’s atmosphere
Ancient Earth may have lost as much as 60 percent of its atmosphere as a result of the collision that created the moon, suggests a recent study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. An international team of researchers ran hundreds of computer simulations that each showed the effects of an impactor with a unique set of characteristics […]

Astronomers may have discovered multiple underground lakes on Mars
Mars may have multiple lakes hidden beneath ice, suggests a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. The discovery comes as a 2018 study previously found evidence of a large saltwater lake beneath the Martian south pole, a finding met with both excitement and skepticism. Since this assertion, an international team of researchers is supporting the existence of […]

Interplanetary hoppers: Microbes from Earth may have reached Venus by hitchhiking on asteroids
If Venusian life does exist, it may have originated from Earth: An interplanetary hopper hitched a ride with an asteroid that grazed Earth’s upper atmosphere and landed on Venus. Researchers from Harvard University — astronomy professor Avi Loeb and student Amir Siraj — proposed the idea after a group of scientists recently detected signatures of phosphine. Microorganisms can produce […]

Heavy metal rain: Colossal “kilonova” explosions may be showering a nearby galaxy in gold and platinum
It’s not uncommon for cosmic objects such as stars to crash into each other. Such mergers generate massive explosions and send gravitational waves rippling through the cosmos. Mergers involving neutron stars are particularly strong. They result in a massive, turbocharged explosion called a kilonova that can be observed in nearly all space telescopes on Earth. An international […]

“Potentially hazardous” asteroid that flew by the Earth last week was discovered by amateur astronomer
On Sept. 10, a large, “potentially dangerous” asteroid safely passed by the Earth. Measuring roughly 3,280 feet wide, asteroid 2020 QU6 was large enough to cause global catastrophe had it actually impacted the planet. What’s more worrying, however, are the circumstances behind 2020 QU6’s discovery. The asteroid wasn’t discovered by national space agencies but by amateur astronomer Leonardo Amaral at the […]

Solar telescope offers unprecedented glimpse into the Sun
Scientists can take a better look at the Sun after a European team of researchers upgraded a solar telescope called GREGOR, located at the Teide Observatory in the Canary Islands. Recent observations using the telescope offer a spectacular, unprecedented glimpse into the Sun’s surface. An image captured magnetic structures, which resembled the craggy, golden texture of popcorn. Another […]

Recurring bursts of cosmic radio waves reach Earth yet again
Astronomers predicted that a mysterious fast radio burst would repeat this July or August. And it did, as predicted, according to recent observations of the fast radio burst (FRB) called FRB 121102. In June this year, an international group of researchers found that FRB 121102 repeats every 157 days. Such repeating FRBs are not unheard-of, however, this was […]

Could Venus have harbored life eons ago?
Venus may have once harbored oceans two to three billion years ago, suggests a study presented at the Joint Meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Goddard Institute for Space Studies ran five simulations of the planet’s environment based […]
