Direct images of protoplanets embedded in disks around infant stars provide the key to understanding the formation of gas giant planets such as Jupiter. Using the Subaru Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, we find evidence for a Jovian protoplanet around AB Aurigae orbiting at a wide proje...

The Kepler Mission is designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy and discover Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone.
We assume Keplerian accretion flow motion on the equatorial plane, with its four-velocity expressed as ueμ=(ut,ur,0,uϕ). (50) Outside the ISCO radius, we assume the accretion flow does not experience any radial drift, so ur=0. With the spacetime metric in form of Eq. (41), ...
Experts Find Potential Signs of Life on Exoplanet The Universe is Expanding Without Dark Energy Why the Universe May Be on the Verge of Collapse Scientist Proposes Explosive Way to Terraform Mars Experts Think They’ve Seen Hints of String Theory...
This is very close to the highest fraction of binary systems detected using ground-based data so far (0.30%), but still about four times less than the average occurrence rate recently obtained from the Kepler space mission after 44 days of operation. Comparison of the observed Ks vs. V...
In 1604, light from the Kepler supernova reached Earth, eclipsing the brightness of Jupiter and catching the eye of astronomers like the supernova's namesake Johannes Kepler. Now, high-tech instruments allow NASA to get a close look at the leftovers of this stellar explosion, seen here. They...
Many technologies have become so advanced that they've been miniaturized to take up less space and weigh less. That's what happened to detector controls and data conversion electronics on the James Webb Space Telescope being built by Northrop Grumman....
to the details we can see based on the size of the telescope used for the observations. For this paper, we used an interferometer. The light from several telescopes is combined to overcome the limit of each telescope, thus achieving a resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope...
