“#Move over Farout, Farfarout is now the most distant object in our solar system” Deep in the dark, frigid expanse of the outer solar system, Farfarout slowly orbits the distant Sun, taking 1,000 years to complete each lonely orbit. First discovered in 1997 by astronomers at the Subaru eight-meter telescope on Maunakea in Hawaii, details…
“#New giant ‘radio galaxies’ help shed light on the history of the universe” Two giant radio galaxies have been discovered with South Africa’s powerful MeerKAT telescope, located in the Karoo region, a semi-arid area in the southwest of the country.

“#Hubble spots remains of a supernova humans saw explode 1700 years ago” The opening years of the Fourth Century saw work begin on St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and the astronomer Pappus of Alexandria wrote details of his observation of an eclipse of the Sun. In the southern hemisphere, a star was seen erupting within…
“#New radio signal excited alien hunters – but scientists are still skeptical” The US$100m (£70m) Breakthrough Listen Initiative, founded by Russian billionaire, technology, and science investor Yuri Milner and his wife Julia, has identified a mysterious radio signal that seems to come from the nearest star to the Sun – Proxima Centauri. This has generated…
“#Nobody knows why there’s ghostly blobs in the sky — astronomers are excited” In September 2019, my colleague Anna Kapinska gave a presentation showing interesting objects she’d found while browsing our new radio astronomical data. She had started noticing very weird shapes she couldn’t fit easily to any known type of object. Among them, labeled…
“#Every planet in our Solar System will be visible this week — here’s how to spot them” All the planets in the Solar System are visible in the night sky this week, making a beautiful sight for stargazers. Even the outermost planets — Uranus, and Neptune (plus the dwarf planet Pluto) can be seen by…
“#Nokia and NASA’s 4G lunar network will mess up radio astronomy” As you drive down the road leading to Jodrell Bank Observatory, a sign asks visitors to turn off their mobile phones, stating that the Lovell telescope is so powerful it could detect a phone signal on Mars. Radio telescopes are designed to be incredibly…
“#Mars hasn’t been this close to Earth in 15 years — here’s how to spot it” Finding Mars is easy this week, as it shines brightly in the eastern sky, offering observers a chance to see a stunning view of Mars. While the space agencies of the world send spacecraft to Mars, viewers on Earth…
“#Can there be life on Venus? Here’s what scientists are doing to find out” On Sept. 14, 2020, a new planet was added to the list of potentially habitable worlds in the Solar System: Venus. Phosphine, a toxic gas made up of one phosphorus and three hydrogen atoms (PH₃), commonly produced by organic life forms…
“#The first black hole ever photographed gets a glam up — it’s now glittering” So you like TNW? Then join our upcoming online event, TNW2020 on October 1 & 2, you don’t want to miss it. The M 87 black hole, the first body of its type ever photographed by astronomers at the Earth Horizon…
