That’s because the rings are likely only 10 million to 100million years old, according to a newly published report in the journal Science that’s based on findings from NASA’s Cassini probe (探测器).(土星以其可爱的光环而闻名,但一项新的研究表明,这颗行星在45亿年的大部分时间里都没有光环...
It was discovered by 17-year-old Wolf Cukier during his summer internship at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, in Maryland. Wolf monitored data collected from TESS, a NASA satellite.TESSstands for Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Its mission is to find planets outside our solar system...
Asteroids and comets aren't travelling through space chaotically and unpredictably. In the distant past, things were more chaotic in the young Solar System, as planets migrated and asteroids were thrown around as a result. But now, NEOs follow predictable orbits. So even though there are tens ...
Astronomers have found 18 new alien planets, all of them Jupiter-size gas giants that circle stars bigger than our sun, a new study reports. The discoveries increase the number of knownplanetsorbiting massive stars by 50 percent. The exoplanet bounty should also help astronomers better understand...
NASA has been building a new telescope called James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists help them search for signs of alien life! They can watch exoplanants (外行星) with the help of telescope.So far all the equipment we have found are too distant to send astronauts or spaceships. Researchers ...
