White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in an opposite way to black holes. Credit: Future/Adam SmithWhite Holes have been the missing piece of the Universe puzzle since Einstein proposed the Concept of General Relativity.On paper, they are supposed to be the exact opposite of a black hole, at least in terms of time....
This is "the first moment that lower mantle minerals have ever been observed in nature."DavemaoiteScientist claim they have found an uncommon mineral that comes straight from Planet's lower mantle- the local between the planet's core and crust - in a recent investigation publicized in Science.The discovery is a wonder because no body has or...
WISE W4 (22.19 µm) image of the IC 1396 HII region. The BRCs are labeled with their names. Credit: Pelayo-BUtilizing different telescopes, a worldwide group of astronomers has studied into IC 1396-- a close-by area of ionized atomic hydrogen. Outcomes of the research, released October 21st on arXiv.org, yield essential understandings concerning the star...
The ultra-faint Milky Way companion galaxy Leo I appears as a faint patch to the right of the bright star, Regulus. Credit: Scott Anttila Anttler2 astrophysicists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have proposed a method to see what could be the second-closest supermassive black hole to Planet: a behemoth three million times the...
A composite image from the 8 November 2022 total lunar eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. (Andrew McCarthy)We have seen some great pictures from the total lunar eclipse recently. But this one might top them all.Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy produced this incredible composite photo, showing the Moon in different eclipse phases throughout...
NASA's Orion spacecraft en route for the Moon, with the Earth in the background, in a photo released by NASA in November 2022.Exceeding expectationsOn the third day after taking off from Florida bound for the Moon, the Orion spacecraft is "surpassing effectiveness expectations," NASA officials stated on Friday.First flight aims to ensure vehicle safetyThe...
This artist’s impression shows an ultra-hot exoplanet, a planet beyond our Solar System, as it is about to transit in front of its host star. When the light from the star passes through the planet’s atmosphere, it is filtered by the chemical elements and molecules in the gaseous layer. With sensitive instruments, the signatures...
Data from 25 comets were compiled to test predictions of solar system formation and evolution.A current research study from the College of Central Florida has discovered solid support that the outgassing of particles from comets could be the outcome of the composition from the start of our solar system.The outcomes were released today in...
Credit: CanvaThe model represents a shortage of planets with masses between super-Earths and mini-NeptunesA new model that represents the interaction of forces acting upon newborn planets can clarify two puzzling observations that have repeatedly turned up among the over 3,800 planetary systems cataloged to date.One puzzle called the "radius valley" refers to the rarity...
The moon is shown during a full lunar eclipse, Sunday, May 15, 2022, near Moscow, Idaho, with the reddish color caused by it passing into the shadow of the Earth. A Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022 total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout North America in the predawn hours -- the farther west, the better...
