"There's no way for us to operate such a complex facility."
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the smallest brown dwarfs ever seen with the potential to form planets and surrounded by mysterious molecules.
"These first images are astonishing, but the best is still yet to come."
As climate change accelerates and politicians continue to argue, scientists are exploring radical new ways to protect our planet. One of the most ambitious concepts under development is a Planetary Sunshade System (PSS), essentially a massive space based umbrella designed to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth and help stabilise global temperatures.
Gas clouds in the Milky Way's Galactic Center (GC) contain copious amounts of star-forming gas. But for some reason, few massive stars form there, even though similar gas clouds elsewhere in the galaxy easily form massive stars. The clouds also form fewer stars overall. Are they a new type of molecular cloud?
When the Sun rages and storms in Earth's direction, it changes our planet's atmosphere. The atmosphere puffs up, meaning satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) meet more resistance. This resistance creates orbital decay, dragging satellites to lower altitudes. One researcher says we can change the design of satellites to decrease their susceptibility.
A team of astronomers have captured spectacular images of what appears to be a gas giant planet in the process of formation, located 430 light years away from Earth. The discovery, led by researchers at the University of Galway, provides rare visual evidence of how planets are born within swirling disks of dust and gas around young stars.
A researcher throws cold water on a recent effort that purported to eliminate black holes' greatest and most enduring mystery — the existence of their central singularity.
