Astronomers have calculated the odds that, sometime during the next 50 years, a supernova occurring in our home galaxy will be visible from Earth. The go1od news: they have calculated the odds to be nearly 100% that such a supernova would be visible to telescopes in the form of infrared...
Meanwhile, CATCH will launch a fleet of smart satellites outfitted with X-ray telescopes to observe multiple space phenomena such as black holes, neutron stars, gamma ray bursts and supernovas. The satellites use AI calculations to make observations, and notify other satellites in the fleet to ...
Searching for Earth's twin When the Kepler Space Telescope searched for planets, it used what scientists callthe transit method. As a planet passes between its sun and the Earth, the light streaming from the star dims slightly. Scientists can measure that dimming to determine the radius of the...
"If you're intovideo game development, consider applying to Tesla. We want to make super fun games that integrate the center touch screen, phone and car irl," Musk tweeted. He added, "Please send examples of prior work when applying. Looking for max playability & creativity." You can al...
EDT (0558 GMT), the partial phase of the eclipse will begin as the Earth’s dark shadow, called the umbra, starts to slowly creep over the face of the full moon. This NASA graphic shows where the total lunar eclipse of April 14-15, 2014 will be visible from. The lunar eclipse ...
neutrino detection can occur a few hours before the supernova becomes visible to electromagnetic observatories. An overview of CCSN neutrino phenomenology is given in Refs. [1,2]. The first and only supernova neutrinos were observed from the SN 1987A explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Two...
The Casimir And Non-Newtonian force EXperiment (Cannex) implements the unique geometry of macroscopic plane parallel plates that guarantees an optimum sensitivity with respect to interfacial forces and their gradients. Based on experience from the recent
