Should Chemical Abundance Distributions of Satellites Look Like Their Stellar Halos?Observations suggest systematic differences between chemical abundances of stars in satellite galaxies and those in the Milky Way halo. These results are difficult to understand at present in the context of hierarchical ...
In short, these satellites are bright and move across the sky rapidly — this can get in the way when you’re trying to use a telescope or observatory to study the stars. For its part, SpaceX attempted to minimize light pollution by coating the satellites with dark material. Unfortunately,...
making it possible to enjoy spectacular visible, ultraviolet and infrared views of our changing planet. A smaller number of satellites turn their "eyes" toward space, where they capture magnificent vistas of stars, planets and galaxies and scan for objects, such asasteroidsor comets, that could ...
A smaller number of satellites turn their "eyes" toward space, where they capture magnificent vistas of stars, planets and galaxies and scan for objects, such as asteroids or comets, that could be heading for a collision course with Earth....
Nearly 6,000 satellites circle our tiny planet. About 60% are space junk, 40% are operational—and hundreds more are launched every year.
Satellites — especially super bright ones — area major nuisance to astronomers who are trying to observestars, space rocks, and other objects throughout the Universe. Astronomers say they could potentially handle the first proposed batch of 1,500 satellites. “What current simulat...
If we could send it to the stars Watching like satellites and seeing what's to come Subconsciously we look up to the sun Turning into frequencies from high above Desire will prepare our eyes to see Channels to our future's destiny I feel your gaze looking down from space We'...
