Una colisión lo suficientemente poderosa como para romper una luna helada en una nube de escombros parece, a primera vista, ser una forma eficiente de formar un océano. El impacto convierte el movimiento en calor. La gravedad une las piezas. La luna reconstruida debería comenzar su segunda vida con hielo más cálido y tal vez … Read more
A narrow ribbon next to an ultra-diffuse galaxy has become the strongest evidence yet for a globular cluster stellar stream beyond the Milky Way. The feature appears in deep Hubble images of UGC 9050-Dw1, a faint galaxy about 115 million light-years away, and extends from a compact object that is likely the cluster that is … Read more
Astronomers did not continuously film 3C 345’s jet for 27 years. They observed it 116 times between 1995 and 2022, then used a neural representation to infer a changing radio image consistent with those irregular measurements. The work appears in the peer-reviewed Nature article Video reconstruction of variable VLBI observations with neural fields, led by … Read more
The rings around a strange small body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus look eerily different from previous views, new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest. The rings surround Chariklo, which is a centaur, a strange type of object that shows characteristics of both asteroids and comets. Chariklo is only about 400 miles … Read more
NEED TO KNOW The Northern Lights may be visible tonight due to solar wind and geomagnetic storm activity. Visibility is best in northern states such as Alaska, Minnesota and Maine, but could extend further south if conditions strengthen. For the best view, find a dark spot away from city lights and check real-time aurora forecasts. … Read more
Antarctic krill, a shrimp-like crustacean that supports the food web at the South Pole, was found in a hydrothermal vent off the Antarctic Peninsula during the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Southern Ocean Expedition in collaboration with the Schmidt Ocean Institute. hide caption toggle caption Antarctic krill is the soul of the South Pole. … Read more
Tiny feathers encased in fossilized droppings are helping scientists understand why some birds survived the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs and others did not. Unearthed in Montana, the feathery find belonged to a bird that had once been eaten and excreted by a predatory dinosaur (possibly a Tyrannosaurus rex or a smaller cousin) … Read more
Researchers writing in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology this week said they found the first skeletal evidence of the Diplodocus dinosaur outside North America, discovering several chevron-shaped vertebrae and bones dating back to about 150 million years at a site in eastern Spain. The team from the Dinópolis Foundation of Teruel, which studies the rich … Read more
Forty thousand years in cold storage and the animal still seemed upset. That was more or less the scene on the bank of the Tirekhtyakh River in northeastern Siberia in the summer of 2018, when a man hunting for mammoth ivory pulled something furry out of the melting ground. Not a fang. The head of … Read more
