Astronomers observe thick slab clouds in the YSES-1 system, darkening the planet’s skies. These clouds are primarily mineral dust, probably containing iron. When the clouds break, iron could rain down. Experts are studying this strange phenomenon to understand the composition and atmosphere. The discovery sheds light on the complex weather patterns in distant worlds, offering…
A Rutgers University research team in New Jersey spotted the newly found cloud, which was named Eos—after the Greek deity of dawn. Being only 300 light-years away, it is the closest known big molecular cloud. Molecular clouds are huge, cold reservoirs of gas and dust that cradle new stars. What distinguishes Eos is not only…
WASHINGTON: Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious.Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the astronomers, led by the University of Cambridge, have detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of the…
An international team of astronomers on Wednesday unveiled the most compelling evidence to date that dark energy — a mysterious phenomenon pushing our universe to expand ever faster — is not a constant force of nature but one that ebbs and flows through cosmic time. Dark energy, the new measurement suggests, may not resign our…
Saturn (Image credit: Nasa) Scientists have identified over 100 additional moons orbiting Saturn, potentially resulting from cosmic collisions that deposited debris in the planet’s orbit as recently as 100 million years ago.The solar system’s gas giants possess numerous moons, which are objects that circle planets or non-stellar bodies. Jupiter hosts 95 confirmed moons, Uranus has…
Water Reservoir in Space : एस्ट्रोनॉमर्स ने ब्रह्मांड के दूसरे कोने में एक विशालकाय जल भंडार खोज निकाला है, जो पृथ्वी से 12 बिलियन प्रकाश वर्ष दूर एक क्वासर के चारों ओर स्थित है. यह विशाल दूरी इस बात का संकेत देती है कि आज जो हम प्रकाश देख रहे हैं, वह ब्रह्मांड के जन्म…
Astronomers at the University of North Carolina have discovered a relatively young planet, which, they claim, is still in its infant stage. In a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, astronomers report the discovery of the youngest transiting planet ever found, estimated to be just three million years old.The astronomers hope that through the…
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery by capturing the first detailed images of a star beyond our Milky Way galaxy. The star, WOH G64, is located 160,000 light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy orbiting the Milky Way. This massive red supergiant is about 2,000 times the size of the Sun…
