Astronomers have identified the most massive stellar black hole yet discovered in the Milky Way galaxy. This black hole was spotted in data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission because it imposes an odd ‘wobbling’ motion on the companion star orbiting it. Data from the European Southern Observatory’s VeryContinuar Leyendo

The mystery of how Pluto got a giant heart-shaped feature on its surface has finally been solved by an international team of astrophysicists led by the University of Bern and members of the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS. The team is the first to successfully reproduce theContinuar Leyendo

When astronomers looked at a stellar pair at the heart of a stunning cloud of gas and dust, they were in for a surprise. Star pairs are typically very similar, like twins, but in HD 148937, one star appears younger and, unlike the other, is magnetic. New data from theContinuar Leyendo

Amid a galaxy teeming with new and young stars lies an intricate substructure Berlín, April 03, 2024.- The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has set its sights on the starburst galaxy Messier 82 (M82), a small but mighty environment that features rapid star formation. By looking closer with Webb’s sensitiveContinuar Leyendo

In a series of studies, a team of astronomers has shed new light on the fascinating and complex process of planet formation. The stunning images, captured using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) in Chile, represent one of the largest ever surveys of planet-forming discs. The researchContinuar Leyendo

Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have characterised a bright quasar, finding it to be not only the brightest of its kind, but also the most luminous object ever observed. Quasars are the bright cores of distant galaxies and they are powered by supermassive blackContinuar Leyendo

NASA has proven powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds, just as the Wright brothers proved it was possible on Earth. Pasadena, Feb 13, 2024.- NASA’s history-making Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has ended its mission at the Red Planet after surpassing expectations and making dozens more flights than planned. WhileContinuar Leyendo

New images taken with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal intricate, never-before-seen structures and features hidden in visible light. The insights will help astronomers better understand the history of the Milky Way. Tucson, Jan 01, 2024.- An international team of astronomers, including researchers at the University of Arizona, has releasedContinuar Leyendo

El Dr. Zhen Guo de la Universidad de Valparaíso, y el Dr. Dante Minniti, de la Universidad Andrés Bello, fueron parte del equipo internacional de científicos que descubrieron dos nuevos tipos de estrellas: gigantes ancianas que expulsan columnas de humo y recién nacidas en erupción, que aumentan su brillo enContinuar Leyendo
