Dec. 8, 2021 —The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) has captured an image of a planet orbiting b Centauri, a two-star system that can be seen with the naked eye. This is ...
Feb. 10, 2021 —A new system for mid-infrared exoplanet imaging in combination with long observation time allows ground-based telescopes to directly capture images of planets about three times the size of Earth ...
Feb. 10, 2022 —Astronomers have found evidence of another planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System. This candidate planet is the third detected in the system and the lightest yet ...
Feb. 17, 2021 —一个国际研究小组已经开发了一个新的method for directly imaging smaller planets in the habitable zone of a neighboring star system. This opens up new possibilities in the search for ...
Apr. 21, 2021 —On May 1, 2019, researchers observed a record-setting flare from the star Proxima Centauri -- a burst of energy roughly 100 times more powerful than any similar event seen from Earth's ...
Dec. 9, 2020 —Stellar flares with a chance of radio bursts: that's the weather from Proxima Centauri. New research suggests exoplanets around red dwarf M-type stars will likely be exposed to coronal mass ...
June 24, 2021 —Researchers show that an excited state previously predicted to exist in neon-20 is real by using particle scattering experiments. By merging into five groups of four, the protons and neutrons in ...
Feb. 23, 2022 —Space travel can be agonizingly slow: For example, the New Horizons probe took almost 10 years to reach Pluto. Traveling to Proxima Centauri b, the closest habitable planet to Earth, would require ...
Dec. 2, 2020 —Researchers have discovered that one of the most important reactions in the universe can get a huge and unexpected boost inside exploding stars known as ...
June 23, 2021 —Scientists have identified 2,034 nearby star-systems -- within the small cosmic distance of 326 light-years -- that could find Earth merely by watching our pale blue dot cross our ...
