“These names highlight the importance of pushing to the frontiers of discovery,” Rita Schulz, chair of the IAU working group,said today in a news release. “We appreciate the contribution of the general public
Talk by astronomers of a sky filled with objects moving in non-circular orbits and other phenomena that went against an Earth-centric model threatened their beliefs. As a result, Kepler and his first wife, Barbara, created a code with which to write letters to each other so that their corre...
the astronomers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and more than 50 further institutions were able to constrain the size, shape and density of Haumea. Their findings are
For the first time, a Polish group has identified two nearby stars that seem to have plucked up their icy partners, swinging them into orbits around our sun.
The team received plenty of help from the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation. The center, founded by Stassun in 2018, works to understand and promote neurodiverse talents. When asked about the center’s contribution, Stassun said, “we have students and interns who have expertis...
I get 123 arc' FOV with the XT10i and 151 with the OneSky but the next scope will have a narrower FOV and pretty much require the little one's contribution. But that's a good thing. ;D I expect to use it for outreach as the 1st Q adults always ask is about cost. Being able...
Galileo's Contribution that proved that not all celestial bodies orbit Earth 3 Astronomy investigates 4 Universal gravitation 不知道嗎? 本學習集中的詞語(76) Astronomy is the study of celestial bodies, space, and the universe Astronomy investigates the origin, evolution, and future of the universe...
colleagues used ultraviolet and infrared images from the spacecraft to develop a precise method of tracking clouds. The cloud tracking led to accurate measurement of wind velocities. From there, the team estimated what contribution the atmospheric waves and the turbulence made ...
mechanism where the white dwarf pulls material from a companion star. It is important to identify the trigger mechanism for Type Ia supernovas because if there is more than one cause then the contribution from each can change over time, affecting their use as “standard candles” in cosmology...
Large clumps of mass in the Universe warp and distort the space-time around them. Acting like lenses, they appear to magnify and bend light that travels through them from more distant objects [2]. Despite their large masses, the effect of galaxy clusters on their surroundings is usually quite...
