A Supercomputer Simulations Gives us a New Look at The Formation of the Moon 

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planetary Science, Science /

Researchers from Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology used the most precise supercomputer simulations ever, revealing an alternative for how the Moon formed 4.5 billion years ago. It showed that a colossal impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body could place a Moon-like body into Earth’s orbit. Next level simulations In their hunt for circumstances […]

NASA’s Juno Gets the Highest-Resolution Close-Up of Jupiter’s Moon Europa

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

The highest-resolution photo NASA’s Juno objective has ever taken of a specific portion of Jupiter’s moon Europa shows a detailed view of a puzzling region of the moon’s greatly fractured icy crust. The picture covers about 93 miles (150 kilometers) by 125 miles (200 kilometres) of Europa’s surface, revealing an area crisscrossed with a network

After The Asteroid Collision, Europe’s Hera Will Probe ‘Crime Scene’

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

After NASA deliberately crushes a car-sized spacecraft into an asteroid the following week, it´ll be up to European Space Agency’s Hera mission to investigate the “crime scene” and discover the secrets of these potentially devastating space rocks. NASA’s Dual Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) aims to collide with the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos on Monday night, hoping

Geologists Shed Recent Light On How Continents May Have Been Formed

Astronomy, Planetary Geology, Planetary Science, Science /

An international research group has discovered that the 1st continents were not stable and also were recycled inside the Earth, in the mantle. The research, released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), is significant because it provides essential clues on how planets formed. “The rocks in the core of the

China Intends to Protect the Earth From Asteroids by Utilizing the Moon

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

The brand-new project entails putting three guardian satellites carrying loads of fuel and kinetic weapons into the moon’s orbit around the Earth. China’s “Planetary Defense System” has been capturing momentum recently, with Beijing researchers now planning to utilize the moon to safeguard Earth from asteroid strikes that could potentially wipe out a city or even

Astronomers Find a Multiplanet System Nearby

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

MIT astronomers have discovered a new multiplanet system that exists just 10 parsecs, or approximately 33 light-years, from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own. The star at the system’s heart likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets. Credit: MIT News, with TESS Satellite figure courtesy of NASA.

Parker Solar Probe Captures Its First Images of Venus’ Surface in Visible Light

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has taken its first visible-light pictures of the surface of Venus from space Surrounded in thick clouds, Venus’ surface is usually hidden from view. However, in two current flybys of the Earth, Parker used its Wide-Field Imager, or WISPR, to image the whole nightside in wavelengths of the visible spectrum– the

NASA Telescope Idea Could Spot Vegetation on Distant Exoplanets

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

NASA states it could detect “surface features” and even “hints of habitability” on distant planets. NASA is financing research for a conceptual telescope called a “solar gravitational lens” (SGL) that can allow us to observe remote exoplanets at a fantastic resolution– a futuristic endeavor that might assist discovery at last if we are alone in

Discovery Alert: Water Vapor Detected on Super Neptune Exoplanet

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

Water vapor in the atmosphere of planet TOI-674 b This newly found planet, a bit larger than Neptune and orbiting a red-dwarf star roughly 150 light-years away. This size places it in an exclusive club: exoplanets, or planets around different stars, recognized to have water vapor in their atmospheres. Several questions linger, such as how
