In context: Astronomers have been observing the wheel-shaped nebula NGC 1514 for over three centuries. In 1790, William Herschel described it as the first deep-sky object that looked cloudy. Unlike star clusters, he couldn't distinguish individual stars within it. Thanks to the Webb telescope, scientists are now studying the nebula in greater detail, leading to a better understanding of the interstellar cloud. On Monday, NASA released stunning images of the NGC 1514 nebula, showcasing the most

On ‘Sun-like’ Stars The thought of a planet orbiting a Sun-like star began to obsess me as a boy, when I realized how different all the planets in our Solar System were from each other. Clearly there were no civilizations on any planet but our own, at least around the Sun. But if Alpha Centauri had planets, then maybe one of them was more or less where Earth was in relation to its star. Meaning a benign climate, liquid water, and who knew, a flourishing culture of intelligent beings. So ran my

In the mid 19th century, a strange idea was growing heavy in the ether: There might be dimensions beyond the three we experience. To some—including eminent scientists of the day—these were the realms of spirits and the supernatural, accessed through tabletop seances. To Charles Hinton, a British mathematician and science-fiction writer at the time, it was something that could be puzzled out, modeled in things like his “tesseract” four-dimensional cube. In the intervening century and a half, spi

Stars are constantly dimming and brightening due to their inner vibrations — and when those vibrations are converted into soundwaves, they become song. As a new study published in the journal Nature explains, scientists were able to learn just how much star brightness fluctuates during these "starquakes" by translating those light frequencies into sound waves. With data from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes, a massive database of star information, researchers led by Australian Nationa

Protoplanetary Disks Are Smaller Than Expected In astronomy, the first thing you see may be the least typical. A case in point: ‘Hot Jupiters.’ A few prescient souls, among them Buzz Aldrin and John Barnes in their novel Encounter with Tiber, speculated about gas giants that survived incredibly tight orbits around their star, and when asked about this in the 1990s, Greg Matloff ran the numbers and confirmed to his surprise that there was a theoretical case for their existence. Let me quote Matl

SpaceX has launched its massive Starship rocket eight times and caught its Super Heavy booster three times in the giant mechanical arms of Mechazilla. Unlike Starship’s upper stage, the booster is now ready for its next steps toward achieving launch, landing, and reuse. In a post shared on Thursday, SpaceX revealed that it was prepping to launch a Super Heavy Booster that had already flown before. The booster previously lifted off and returned during the rocket’s seventh test flight on January

It's a violent place. Astronomers suggest there's a giant "star grinder" lurking at the center of the Milky Way, churning up potentially tens of thousands of star systems that are unfortunate enough to get too close. As detailed in a new paper to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics and first spotted by Universe Today, astronomers in the Czech Republic and Germany suggest that B-type stars, which are only a few times the mass of the Sun, as well as much heavier O-type stars, ar

SpaceX Elon Musk is adamant that his space company will eventually make humanity interplanetary by establishing a permanent presence on Mars. It's an extremely ambitious plan, and one that intimately involves the company's massive Starship rocket. If his characteristically unrealistic timelines are anything to go by, the first crewed trip to the Red Planet could take place "as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely," he asserted in a March 15 tweet.

When these stars dance, they make their own music. Astronomers have tracked down the source of a mysterious radio signal from deep space repeating every two hours. Intriguingly, it's a pair of stars in such a tight orbit that their magnetic fields regularly bump into each other — and it's this bodily percussion that appears to be blasting out the radio emissions we're picking up on Earth, roughly 1,600 light years away.
