“The results that have come from the TESS-Keck Survey represent the single largest contribution to understanding the physical nature and system architectures of new planets TESS has discovered,” said Alex Polanski, a physics and astronomy graduate student at the University of Kansas who is the pa...
Heavy traffic is commonplace on Earth but now congestion is becoming an increasing problem in space. With over 22,000 artificial satellites in orbit it is essential to keep track of their positions in order to avoid unexpected collisions. Amateur astrono
However, right before they collapse, their remains are transported through space by winds that originate from their bodies. These stellar ashes contain chemical elements such as carbon. Carbon is the fourth most abundant chemical in the universe and is a key element in the formation of life ...
