This Newborn Planet Is Carving Out A Home In Its Protoplanetary Disk
Around three decades ago, we weren't certain that other stars had planets orbiting them. Scientists naturally thought there would be, but they had no evidence. Now, not only do we know of more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets, but we can watch as baby planets take shape around distant stars.
How the Moon’s Hidden Protection Shields Against Solar Wind Erosion
The Moon's thin atmosphere, called an exosphere, has been a puzzle to science for some time. Two main processes were thought to create this wispy gas envelope; tiny meteoroids hitting the surface and solar wind particles bombarding the lunar soil. But new research using Apollo moon samples reveals that the Moon's own surface features provide surprising protection against solar wind erosion.
Do Supermassive Black Holes Play With Their Food?
When a star gets too close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH), the star's fate is sealed. The SMBH's gravity is overwhelming, and as the star is drawn toward the hole, it is stretched out and eventually consumed. These are called tidal disruption events (TDE), and while they're rare, their brilliant light catches astronomers' attention.

Is It Worth Going Back to the Moon?
It is true that crewed missions to the Moon are expensive, difficult, and dangerous. And we now have a long history going back decades of reliable, dependable, capable robotic exploration, including fly-bys, orbiters, landers, and rovers. Why don’t we look at how much human spaceflight would cost to return to the moon, and just spend that money on lots of robots instead?
