Interstellar object, an object that has entered the solar system from interstellar space. As of 2023, two such objects have been observed: ‘Oumuamua, which was discovered in 2017, and Comet Borisov, which was discovered in 2019. ‘Oumuamua was discovere
"You would need such a strong gravitational field that you need to be close to what is called the Schwarzschild radius of the object — essentially the event horizon of a black hole," he wrote in The Guardian. (The event horizon is the point beyond which nothing, not even light, can es...
The episode opens with a starfield and an object falling toward an unidentified planet, this planet is revealed to be Earth, which has become an icy globe. The object crashlands in the middle of a flat plain which is also revealed to be very near the hometown of the famed astronaut Cooper...
An object with a highly elliptical orbit intercepting Miller's is still subject to immmense frame-dragging tending it towards prograde revolution around Gargantua. I would be surprised if closing velocity for intercepting orbits is relativistic. Again, you need to stop imagining that "free fall" ...
“It could be argued that in astro-stereoscopy — 3D images of astronomical objects – NASA’s New Horizons team already leads the field, having delivered astounding stereoscopic images of bothPlutoand the remoteKuiper Beltobject Arrokoth,” May said. “But the latest New Horizons stereoscopic expe...
to be fully appreciated. There is one shot in which the vastness of space dwarfs a tiny celestial object; so tiny, in fact, that it would be difficult to spot on even some of the more ambitious TV screens. It is a massive “fuck you” to anyone who will ever try to watchInterstella...

While the Local Group contains several dIrr galaxies, BCDs are rarer and only a single such object, IC 10, has been suggested to be located within its volume [21]. Green peas are even rarer than BCDs and are therefore commonly observed at redshifts z > 0.1. Not surprisingly, dIrrs ...
