Stargazers in Asia and Australia were treated to a spectacular lunar eclipse as the moon slipped into the outer part of Earth’s shadow in what’s known as a penumbral lunar eclipse. While not as dramatic as a partial or total lunar eclipse, the four-hour event was still a sight. From the western coast of Africa […]

Utilizing the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), astronomers have observed a chemically peculiar star called as HD 213258. In the outcome, they found that HD 213258 is a quickly oscillating, strongly magnetic Ap star. The finding is reported in a paper released on December 24 on the arXiv pre-print server. Chemically peculiar (CP) stars are those with

Galaxy NGC 2915 Utilizing the Very Large Telescope (VLT), Chinese astronomers have inquired a next blue compact dwarf galaxy known as NGC 2915. Outcomes of the research, shown in a paper released October 12th on arXiv.org, return crucial understandings relating to the star development background of this galaxy. Blue compact dwarfs (BCDs) are low-luminosity and
