Does This Exoplanet Have a Sibling Sharing the Same Orbit?

Astronomers have found the possible 'sibling' of a planet orbiting a distant star. The team has detected a cloud of debris that might be sharing this planet's orbit and which, they believe, could be the building blocks of a new planet or the remnants of one already formed. If confirmed, this ...

Giant Swirling Waves at Edge of Jupiter's Magnetosphere

一个团队发现,美国宇航局的“朱诺”号飞船轨道ing Jupiter frequently encounters giant swirling waves at the boundary between the solar wind and Jupiter's magnetosphere. The waves are an important process for transferring energy and mass from the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emitted ...

Astronomers Identify the Coldest Star Yet That Emits Radio Waves

棕矮星很少发出无线电波。这里scientists have found the coldest star yet emitting at these long wave lengths. Understanding the science of 'ultracool brown dwarfs' will help deepen our knowledge of how stars ...

New Radar Technique Lets Scientists Probe Invisible Ice Sheet Region on Earth and Icy Worlds

一种新的雷达技术开发的毕业学生ent allows imaging of the upper few feet of ice sheets on Earth and icy worlds. The technique uses instruments on airplanes or satellites to survey large regions quickly. The upper few feet of ice ...
