Space is Deep
The chance for a spooky Halloween comet sighting will not happen. The comet known as C/2024 S1 didn’t survive it’s rendezvous with the sun, as it broke apart at parahelion.

Space is Deep
The constellations Carina, Vela, and Puppis make up Argo Navis, the mythical ship. Argo Navis was one of the 48 constellations listed in the Almagest.

Space is Deep
A 13 year survey conducted by the VISTA telescope has created the most detailed map of the Milky Way ever. It contains an incredible 1.5 billion objects

Space is Deep
The observable universe is the spherical region around Earth from which light has had time to reach us since the universe began. The boundary is called the cosmic light horizon.

Researchers have found evidence suggesting the Earth may have had a ring system 466 million years ago

Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Space is Deep
The far-southern constellation Tucana is to be found at the end of the celestial river, Eridanus. It represents the large-beaked tropical bird that is native to South and Central America.

Wednesday, September 4, 2024

Space is Deep
Astronomers discovered a new “Odd Radio Circle” (a mysterious ring invisible at all wavelengths except radio) near the center of our galaxy. I hope it’s playing space rock.

Space is Deep
In 1610, Galileo's telescope revealed that the milky smear across the night sky is not a nebula but a field of tiny stars. Immanuel Kent guessed that the stars form a rotating disk and that the Earth is inside it.

In 1977 on August 20th, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched to visit the outer planets. In Dec. 2018 it passed Neptune and entered interstellar space. Voyager 2 is still transmitting data 47 years later!

Space is Deep
A dense ball of 10.5 million stars, Omega Centauri is the biggest and brightest of about 200 globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. The average distance between its stars is just one tenth of a light year.

Space is Deep
The sun’s corona can be 200 times hotter than the sun’s surface, despite being farther away from the ultimate source of heat at the sun’s core

Comet Encke was "discovered" in 1786, 1795,1805, and 1818 by different astronomers. These comets were found to be the same only after orbital calculations in 1819 by the German astronomer Johann Encke, who then predicted its return in 1822.

A new look at how light bends as it travels through the universe could point to an alternative theory of gravity

Wednesday, July 17, 2024

Space is Deep
Retrograde motion is an effect of changing perspective. Inferior planets Mercury and Venus show retrograde motion on either side of inferior conjunction. They "overtake" Earth as they pass between Earth and the Sun.

Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Space is Deep
Supermassive black hole winds blowing at 36 million mph can sculpt entire galaxies

Wednesday, July 3, 2024

First discovered in 1826, the Bug Nebula is one of the brightest planetary nebulae. The central star is thought to have an extremely high temperature, and its intense heat lights up the surrounding stellar material.

Wednesday, June 26, 2024

Space is Deep
Some scientists speculate that the universe is shaped like a doughnut, instead of stretching to infinity. It’s a topology that could eventually be mapped.

RCW 49 is one of the most productive regions of star formation to have been found in the Milky Way. It spans a distance of about 350 light-years, and it is thought that over 2200 stars reside within it.

Wednesday, June 12, 2024

New discoveries from the far reaches of space

Camelopardalis is a dim constellation of the far northern sky, representing a giraffe. The giraffe's long neck can be visualized as stretching around the north celestial pole toward Ursa Minor and Draco.

The Multiverse could be much much bigger than we ever imagined

Thursday, May 23, 2024

Space is Deep
The Horsehead Nebula is lit by a quintuple star system that bathes the clouds in UV light. Sigma Ordonis A and B are an orbiting pair of blue stars; C,D, and E will eventually spin off as solo stars

Astronomers just discovered WASP-193b, an extremely low-density giant planet orbiting a sun-like star 1200 light-years from Earth. WASP-193b is 50% larger than Jupiter, but 7 times less massive, giving it a density comparable to cotton candy

NASA has created a visualization of what it would be like to fall into a black hole. It is worth those 40 seconds of your life.

Albireo is regarded as one of the finest multiple star systems in the night sky. It consists of a golden-colored giant star and a cooler blue-dwarf star. Albireo is easily separated through a small telescope.

Little is known about dark energy, except that it's repulsive. This strange force causes matter to scatter rather than attract. Dark energy makes up 68% of the universe's mass-energy density.

Thursday, April 4, 2024

Space is Deep
The Heliosphere - made of solar wind, solar transients, and the interplanetary magnetic field, acts as our solar system’s personal shield- protecting the planets by absorbing potentially damaging galactic cosmic rays.

Enaiposha is 3 times bigger and 8 times as massive as Earth. The planet's density means a chunk of it must be lighter than rock but heavier than gas. It is likely that Enaiposha is a water world.

A star system located 3,000 light-years away called T Coronae Borealis is predicted to go nova between now & Sept. These Outbursts happen approx every 80 years, and can be seen with the naked eye
