Survey of Exo-Neptunes Defines System Gravitational Evolution

Exoplanet surveys are useful for more than just astrobiology or increasing the tally of known planets in other solar systems. They can also help us understand the evolution of planetary systems themselves. That’s what a new paper from researchers led by astronomers at the University of Geneva and published in Astronomy & Astrophysics attempts to do - by looking at a large population of “exo-Neptunes” they are attempting to understand the intricacies of how planetary systems are formed.

Webb Spots a Massive Stellar Jet in the Outer Milky Way

In a recent discovery, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected a massive stellar eruption measuring eight light-years across. This outflow, known as Sharpless 2-284 (Sh2-284 for short), is located about 15,000 light-years away in the outer reaches of the Milky Way. Based on an analysis by an international team of astronomers, this outflow appears to be coming from a newly forming star (a proto-star). It is moving at relativistic speeds (hundreds of thousands of kilometers per hour), and its size and strength indicate it is a rare phenomenon.

Will We Ever Make it to Mars?

You know, if you take away the lack of air and water, the weaker Sun, the lower gravity, and the toxic soil, Mars isn’t all that bad of a place to live. And there are certainly worse places to live, like, I don’t know, Ohio (I’m allowed to say that because I grew up there). But there’s been a big push in the past two decades to not just go to Mars and visit, like we did with the Moon fifty years ago, but to stay there. Put down roots. Establish ourselves. Build a colony or a settlement.

Microbial Life Colonizes Post-Impact Craters And Thrives For Millions Of Years

78 million years ago, a 1.6 km asteroid slammed into what is now Finland, creating a crater 23 km (14 mi) wide and 750 km deep. The catastrophic impact created a fractured hydrothermal system in the shattered bedrock under the crater. There's evidence from other impact structures that in the aftermath of a collision, life colonized the shattered rock and heated water that flowed through it. But determining when the colonization happened is challenging.
