Source : Phys.Org Astronomers have designed and trained a computer program that can classify tens of thousands of galaxies in just a few seconds, a task that usually takes months to accomplish. In research published today, astrophysicists from Australia have used machine learning to speed up a process that is often done manually by astronomers … Read more
Source: Eureka Alert Planets which are tilted on their axis, like Earth, are more capable of evolving complex life. This finding will help scientists refine the search for more advanced life on exoplanets. This NASA-funded research is presented at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference. Since the first discovery of exoplanets (planets orbiting distant stars) in 1992, … Read more
Source : Space Daily Imagine a dust particle in a storm cloud, and you can get an idea of a neutron’s insignificance compared to the magnitude of the molecule it inhabits.But just as a dust mote might affect a cloud’s track, a neutron can influence the energy of its molecule despite being less than one-millionth … Read more
Source: Science Alert A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes. If this finding can be validated, it will explain how the cluster came to be the way it is – with its stars spaced light-years apart, smearing out … Read more
Using data from NASA’s Kepler/K2 mission, astronomers have detected four new microlensing events that are consistent with free-floating planets of similar masses to Earth. Source: Sci-News Gravitational microlensing is an observational effect that was predicted in 1936 by Albert Einstein using his general theory of relativity. When one star in the sky appears to pass nearly … Read more
Original Source : University of Barcelona “The number of black holes is roughly three times larger than expected from the number of stars in the cluster, and it means that more than 20% of the total cluster mass is made up of black holes. They each have a mass of about 20 times the mass … Read more
A solar flare is a sudden, rapid, and intense explosion on the surface of the Sun. (Photo: Nasa) Source : India Today Sun, which is a source of energy, at times could be the centre of deadly radiations hurled towards us. One such flare exploded on July 3, from a sunspot called AR2838. The solar … Read more
Source : Science Alert In the yawning vacuum of intergalactic space, something large is lurking. Not a galaxy, although it’s of a comparable size: A vast cloud of hot, faintly glowing gas, bigger than the Milky Way, in the space between galaxies congregating in a huge cluster. Scientists believe this cloud may have been unceremoniously … Read more
The photographer’s aim for this image was to divide the human world from the sky by focusing the image on the technique of the Moon in the center. This time was difficult after sunset and in the dark of the moon behind the buildings. The curfew imposed in France decides the location – check out … Read more
