Washington, Sept 11, 2025.- Una muestra recolectada por el rover Perseverance, el vehículo explorador de la NASA en Marte, en el antiguo lecho de un río seco en el cráter Jezero podría conservar evidencia de vida microbiana antigua. Tomada el año pasado de una roca llamada Cheyava Falls, la muestra,Continuar Leyendo
Astronomers have detected an explosion of gamma rays that repeated several times over the course of a day, an event unlike anything ever witnessed before. The source of the powerful radiation was discovered to be outside our galaxy, its location pinpointed by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).Continuar Leyendo
Bern, Sept 08, 2025.- The University of Bern is participating in the international NASA Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe mission (IMAP), which is due to be launched no earlier than 23 September 2025. IMAP is dedicated to exploring the outer limits of the heliosphere, the protective bubble of solar windContinuar Leyendo
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has revealed new details in the core of the Butterfly Nebula, NGC 6302. From the dense, dusty torus that surrounds the star hidden at the centre of the nebula to its outflowing jets, the Webb observations reveal many new discoveries that paint a never-before-seenContinuar Leyendo
Coventry, Aug 13, 2025.- An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a stellar rarity: an ultra-massive white dwarf that formed when a white dwarf merged with another star, rather than through the evolution of a single star. This discovery, which was made possible byContinuar Leyendo
More than one star contributes to the irregular shape of NGC 6072 París, July 30, 2025.- Webb’s newest look at planetary nebula NGC 6072 in the near- and mid-infrared shows what may appear as a very messy scene resembling splattered paint. However, the unusual, asymmetrical scene hints at more complicatedContinuar Leyendo
To mark its third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local star-forming region. Paris, July 10, 2025.- Webb’s NIRCam instrument was used to look at this particular area ofContinuar Leyendo
El telescopio con la cámara digital más grande del planeta publicó sus primeras observaciones desde la Región de Coquimbo. Los impresionantes registros, que recorrieron los medios internacionales, consolidan al país como epicentro de la astronomía mundial. Santiago, 03 de Julio de 2025.- El lunes 23 de junio, el Observatorio VeraContinuar Leyendo
For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), they have found patterns that confirm its star suffered a pair of explosiveContinuar Leyendo
Bern, June 23, 2025.- A new study by researchers of the University of Bern shows that the hilly surface of Mercury could be influenced not only by the cooling and contraction of the planet, but also by the tidal forces of the Sun. Future analysis will draw on new dataContinuar Leyendo
