The strange "knot" that adorns the bright and narrow ribbon of neutral atoms that emanate on the border between our Solar System and interstellar space seems to have been "untied", according to an article published online in the journal 'Journal of Geophysical Research' .
The fifth planet of the Solar System, Jupiter, will be during this week at its shortest distance to Earth since 1963, as announced by NASA. The maximum luminosity will be reached at night from Monday to Tuesday. To see a similar show we will have to wait until 2022.
September 18 marks the first International Lunar Observation Night (InOMN), an international initiative that coincides with the first anniversary launch of NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
A team of planetary geologists has produced a new global catalog of the large craters on the Moon that will help better understand the large-scale bombardment that characterized the early Solar System more than 4 billion years ago.
A team of Spanish researchers has discovered that the periodic comet 29P / Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, with an almost circular orbit around the Sun and passing between Jupiter and Saturn, suffers outbursts every 50 days. The origin of this phenomenon is in the small regions of the surface of the comet rich in ice that can sublimate and explode.
Beyond Neptune's orbit reside countless ice rocks known as trans-Neptunian objects (OTNs), mostly difficult to detect. Using clever techniques to sift through the Hubble Space Telescope data files, a team of astronomers just added 14 new OTNs to the catalog.
UPV / EHU scientists have published the first results on the recent impact of a superbolide with the planet Jupiter in the prestigious 'Astrophysical Journal Letters'. The study concludes that the impacts are much more frequent than on Earth, since Jupiter, with its enormous gravity, draws errant objects in the solar system towards itself, acting in a certain sense as a "protective umbrella".
An international team of astronomers has found evidence that some dwarf galaxies are being eaten up by their larger neighbors, usually spiral galaxies, which thus increase in size. During the ingestion, long filaments of stars are produced.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
