Frozen object beyond Jupiter is transforming into a comet
2+ day, 21+ hour ago (1029+ words) A frozen object beyond Jupiter is venting carbon dioxide gas into space, revealing what can drive activity so far from the sun. A centaur, one of the icy bodies that orbit beyond Jupiter, has started venting gas into space, even…...
Something mysterious is stopping the universe from making stars
4+ day, 15+ hour ago (1013+ words) Star formation has fallen by more than half over 4.5 billion years, even as the universe’s supply of atomic hydrogen has barely declined. Stars are being born across the universe at less than half the rate they were 4.5 billion years ago....
Exploding stars carved a giant hole that is now making new stars
1+ week, 1+ day ago (747+ words) Hubble reveals a vast cosmic bubble where massive stars cleared away gas, only for the compressed material around it to begin forming thousands of new stars. Today’s Image of the Day from the European Space Agency reveals a huge stellar…...
Comets may be delivering water to planets around a young star
1+ week, 2+ day ago (874+ words) Comets around a young Sun-like star could reveal how water is transported into the inner regions of developing planetary systems. Around a young, Sun-like star some 370 light-years away, astronomers have spotted signs of what looks like a fleet of comets…...
Astronomers find that a basic rule about star formation is wrong
2+ week, 1+ day ago (1105+ words) Astronomers found that the mix of stars changes across the Milky Way, challenging a basic assumption used to measure distant galaxies. Astronomers can’t see most of the stars in a distant galaxy. The faint ones give off almost none of…...
One black hole is stirring gas across 300,000 light-years
2+ week, 5+ day ago (943+ words) Black hole winds from one quasar churn hot gas across 300,000 light-years, carrying the energy of billions of exploding stars. Black holes are famous for pulling matter in. However, the winds they launch while feeding were long thought to stay inside…...
Milky Way devoured a massive dwarf galaxy 12.3 billion years ago
2+ week, 6+ day ago (859+ words) Hubble observations reveal that the Milky Way absorbed a massive dwarf galaxy 12.3 billion years ago, reshaping its earliest known history. Large galaxies like the Milky Way grow partly by merging with smaller ones and absorbing their stars, gas, and dark…...
Violent star system is blasting giant spirals across space
3+ week, 20+ hour ago (759+ words) Hubble has captured stunning new images of R Aquarii, a violent binary star system that blasts glowing spirals of gas across space. Today’s Image of the Day features a star system that looks more like a cosmic storm than a…...
Tiny satellite will hide behind the Moon to eavesdrop on the early universe
3+ week, 3+ day ago (988+ words) CosmoCube will hide behind the Moon to escape Earth’s radio noise and search for a 13.5-billion-year-old signal from the early universe. Astronomers can point a telescope at almost any part of the sky and find something looking back: the Moon,…...
China’s Tianwen-2 traveled 621 million miles to reach a tiny asteroid that might actually be a lost piece of our Moon
3+ week, 3+ day ago (703+ words) China’s Tianwen-2 traveled about 621 million miles to reach a 135-foot asteroid, and the tiny world it is now studying may actually be a fragment blasted off the Moon After roughly 400 days in deep space, China’s Tianwen-2 probe has reached asteroid…...
