800,000 Years Ago, A Meteor Slammed Into Earth. Scientists Just Found the Crater

Published 9th January 2020



About 790,000 years ago, a meteor slammed into Earth with such force that the explosion blanketed about 10 percent of the planet with shiny black lumps of rocky debris.

Known as tektites, these glassy blobs of melted terrestrial rock were strewn from Indochina to eastern Antarctica and from the Indian Ocean to the western Pacific. For more than a century, scientists searched for evidence of the impact that created these pitted blobs.

But the crater's location eluded detection — until now.

Space News | Ray Gallucci: Electric Gravity – A Mathematical Analysis

Published 10th January 2020

The Electric Universe theory proposes that electromagnetism, not gravity, is the predominant organizational force in the cosmos. In the Space Age, countless discoveries, from the networks of filaments connecting objects across vast cosmic distances, to the pervasive magnetism seen at all scales in the Universe, to the structure and motions of galaxies themselves are all more easily explained from an electrical rather than gravity-centric viewpoint. However, this is not to say that the Electric Universe denies gravity’s existence.

For over forty years, the leading proponent of the Electric Universe model, Wal Thornhill, our chief science advisor and physicist, has worked on an explanation for gravity that actually links gravity and electromagnetism. In recent years, retired nuclear engineer Dr. Raymond Gallucci discovered Thornhill’s electrical theory of gravity. Today Dr. Gallucci presents the simple, independent mathematical modeling he has performed to test the theory’s plausibility.

840 Minor Planets Discovered Beyond Neptune

Published 10th January 2020

Our solar system is a tiny but wonderfully familiar corner of the vast, dark universe – we have even been able to land spacecraft on our celestial neighbours. Yet its outer reaches are still remarkably unmapped. Now we have discovered 840 small worlds in the distant and hard-to-explore region beyond Neptune. This is the largest set of discoveries ever made, increasing the number of distant objects with well known paths around the sun by 50%.

These little icy worlds are important as they help us tell the solar system’s history. They can also help us test the idea that there’s a yet unseen planet lurking in the outer solar system.

Published 15th January 2020

How do stars form? This simple question has intrigued humankind for centuries, and is one of the most explored topics of contemporary astrophysics. Stars form in galaxies, but not all galaxies are forming stars. What does a typical star-forming region look like? What is it composed of? How are stars born in these nebulas? Join us to probe what we know—and don’t yet know—about the physics of star-formation, and how astronomers around the world are trying to answer these questions of stellar genesis with ground- and space-based telescopes

Tour Of The Crab Nebula 3D Visualization

Published 13th January 2020

In the year 1054 AD, Chinese sky watchers witnessed the sudden appearance of a "new star" in the heavens, which they recorded as six times brighter than Venus, making it the brightest observed stellar event in recorded history. This "guest star," as they described it, was so bright that people saw it in the sky during the day for almost a month. Native Americans also recorded its mysterious appearance in petroglyphs.

Observing the nebula with the largest telescope of the time, Lord Rosse in 1844 named the object the "Crab" because of its tentacle-like structure. But it wasn't until the 1900s that astronomers realized the nebula was the surviving relic of the 1054 supernova, the explosion of a massive star.

Now, astronomers and visualization specialists have combined the visible, infrared, and X-ray vision of NASA's Great Observatories to create a three-dimensional representation of the dynamic Crab Nebula. Certain structures and processes, driven by the pulsar engine at the heart of the nebula, are best seen at particular wavelengths.

The multiwavelength computer graphics visualization is based on images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. The new video dissects the intricate nested structure that makes up this stellar corpse, giving viewers a better understanding of the extreme and complex physical processes powering the nebula. The powerhouse "engine" energizing the entire system is a pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star, the super-dense crushed core of the exploded star. The tiny dynamo is blasting out blistering pulses of radiation towards us 30 times a second with unbelievable clockwork precision.

The visualization is one of a new generation of products and experiences being developed by the NASA's Universe of Learning program. It helps illustrate the power of what astronomers call “multiwavelength” astronomy where different types of light are combined to get a more complete understanding of the Universe and objects within it.

A Quick Look @ The Crab Nebula 3D Visualization

Published 13th January 2020

A new visualization using data from NASA’s “Great Observatories” provides an idea of what the Crab Nebula looks like in 3D.

The Crab Nebula was the brightest “new star” when it was seen in 1054 AD after a massive star ran out of fuel and exploded.

Today, astronomers know that the Crab is powered by a quickly spinning, highly magnetized neutron star called a pulsar.

By combining data from Chandra, Hubble, and Spitzer, experts can piece together how the Crab may appear in three dimensions.

Certain structures and processes, driven by the pulsar, are revealed by the X-ray, optical, and radio wavelengths each telescope detects.

This visualization, created by NASA’s Universe of Learning program, demonstrates why different types of light are needed to fully explore objects in space.

ESOcast 215 Light: Interstellar Thread Of One Of Life’s Building Blocks Revealed

Phosphorus, present in our DNA and cell membranes, is an essential element for life. But how it arrived on the early Earth is something of a mystery. Astronomers have now traced the journey of phosphorus from star-forming regions to comets using the combined powers of ALMA and the European Space Agency’s probe Rosetta.

Animated View Of Phosphorus-bearing Molecules Found In A Star-forming Region And Comet 67p

This animation shows the key results from a study that has revealed the interstellar thread of phosphorus, one of life’s building blocks.

Thanks to ALMA, astronomers could pinpoint where phosphorus-bearing molecules form in star-forming regions like AFGL 5142. The background of this animation shows a part of the night sky in the constellation of Auriga, where the star-forming region AFGL 5142 is located. The ALMA image of this object appears on the top left, and one of the locations where the team found phosphorus-bearing molecules is indicated by a circle. The most common phosphorus-bearing molecule in AFGL 5142 is phosphorus monoxide, represented in orange and red in the diagram that appears on the bottom left. Another molecule found was phosphorus nitride, represented in orange and blue.

Using data from the ROSINA instrument onboard ESA’s Rosetta, astronomers also found phosphorus monoxide on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, which appears on the bottom right at the end of the video. This first sighting of phosphorus monoxide on a comet helps astronomers draw a connection between star-forming regions, where the molecule is created, all the way to Earth, where it played a crucial role in starting life.

'Cold Neptune' & Two Temperate Super-Earths Found Orbiting Nearby Stars

Published 15th January 2020

A "cold Neptune" and two potentially habitable worlds are part of a cache of five newly discovered exoplanets and eight exoplanet candidates found orbiting nearby red dwarf stars, which are reported in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series by a team led by Carnegie's Fabo Feng and Paul Butler.

The two potentially habitable planets are orbiting GJ180 and GJ229A, which are among the nearest stars to our own Sun, making them prime targets for observations by next-generation space- and land-based telescopes. They are both super-Earths with at least 7.5 and 7.9 times our planet's mass and orbital periods of 106 and 122 days respectively.

The Neptune-mass planet—found orbiting GJ433 at a distance at which surface water is likely to be frozen—is probably the first of its kind that is a realistic candidate for future direct imaging.

"GJ 433 d is the nearest, widest, and coldest Neptune-like planet ever detected," Feng added.
