TRAPPIST-1, a small star about 40 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius, produces flares roughly six times per day, and this activity complicates efforts to evaluate whether its planets could be habitable. A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder used NASAs James Webb Space Telescope together with detailed computer simulations to study how these flares arise and how

Kyoto University and Meiji University researchers have used the XRISM X-ray satellite to quantify chlorine and potassium in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, addressing a longstanding gap in how the universe produced these life-related elements. The work examines why current stellar models yield only about one-tenth of the chlorine and potassium inferred from observations across the cosmos.

Two recent papers based on James Webb Space Telescope observations describe initial attempts to probe the atmosphere of TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized planet orbiting in the habitable zone of the nearby red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. In a follow-up analysis, University of Arizona planetary scientist Sukrit Ranjan argues that the current evidence is not yet sufficient to confirm that TRAPPIST-1e has an

Acoustic signals have been important markers during NASA's Mars missions. Measurements of sound can provide information both about Mars itself - such as turbulence in its atmosphere, changes in its temperature, and its surface conditions - and about the movement of the Mars rovers. Using these sound measurements to the best extent possible requires an accurate understanding of how sound pr
