I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#Gemini Observatory images reveal striking details of comet NEOWISE” Credit: Comet NEOWISE Rotation Sequence When Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) sped through the inner Solar System during the middle of 2020, astronomers and the general public watched in awe as this “dirty snowball” shed gas and dust into space, producing a striking show visible to the…
“#Galactic bar paradox resolved in cosmic dance” Snapshots from a Milky Way galaxy simulation. The bar in the centre and the spiral arms are thought to rotate at different speeds. If they are disconnected the bar shows its true and smaller structure (left). Every time they meet, the bar appears longer and its rotation slower…
“#Four new open clusters detected in the Cygnus Cloud” AllWISE-W3 image showing the spatial distribution of the newly found OCs (yellow dots: from QC 1 to QC 4) together with the OCs listed by Kharchenko et al. (2013) (pink dots) and Cantat-Gaudin & Anders (2020) (blue dots) in the Galactic maps. The single yellow square…
“#New large optically bright supernova remnant discovered” MDW Hα image of G107.0 9.0 revealing numerous filaments along its northern, western and southwestern limbs. Credit: Fesen et al., 2020. Astronomers have reported the discovery of a new galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the Cepheus constellation. The newly detected SNR is relatively large and optically bright, but…
“#Neural networks show potential for identifying gamma rays detected by the Cherenkov telescope array” A prototype of a CTA telescope at La Palma. Credit: Flickr/CTAO With the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) that is currently under construction, researchers hope to observe highly energetic gamma rays that could lead to the discovery of new objects in and…
“#Apertif images yield first scientific results” Schematic of radio waves from a quasar traveling through a plasma cloud and arriving at Apertif. Credit: ASTRON/Studio Eigen Merk Using Apertif (APERture Tile In Focus), searching at a radio frequency of 1.4 GHz, researchers have found an intra-hour variable (IHV) source, described in the paper “Extreme intra-hour variability…
“#Spinning black hole powers jet by magnetic flux” The centre of quasar 3C279 emits flickering gamma radiation, which is characteristic of the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection. Credit: Amit Shukla Black holes are at the center of almost all galaxies that have been studied so far. They have an unimaginably large mass and therefore attract matter,…
“#Rogue planets could outnumber the stars” Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain An upcoming NASA mission could find that there are more rogue planets—planets that float in space without orbiting a sun—than there are stars in the Milky Way, a new study theorizes. “This gives us a window into these worlds that we would otherwise not have,”…
“#Very high energy gamma-ray emission from a radio galaxy” A Hubble image of the radio galaxy 3C264 and its jet (the light from the galaxy itself and its inner disk have been subtracted to make it easier to see the jet). The red cross marks the location of the supermassive black hole AGN (the green…
“#Image: Hubble captures supernova host galaxy” Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, S. Smartt et al. This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features the spectacular galaxy NGC 2442, nicknamed the Meathook galaxy owing to its extremely asymmetrical and irregular shape. This galaxy was host to a supernova explosion spotted in March 2015, known as SN…
