It's a planet: new evidence of baby planet in the making
Boston MA (SPX) Sep 15, 2022
Astronomers agree that planets are born in protoplanetary disks - rings of dust and gas that surround young, newborn stars. While hundreds of these disks have been spotted throughout the universe, observations of actual planetary birth and formation have proved difficult within these environments.
Now, astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian have developed a ne

Simulation aids the search for the origin of cosmic rays
Bochum, Germany (SPX) Sep 15, 2022
Cosmic rays seem to surround us everywhere. This is precisely what makes it difficult to find its sources. It would be helpful if we could trace their path through space. A new programme can help. An international research team has developed a computer programme that can simulate the transport of cosmic rays through space.

Discovery Telescope plays key role in DART planetary defense test mission
Flagstaff AZ (SPX) Sep 15, 2022
Within two weeks, the DART spacecraft will impact the asteroid moon Dimorphos as it completes the world's first planetary defense test mission. The success of the effort relies heavily on the Lowell Discovery Telescope, which scientists are using for both before- and after-impact observations.

Wind drives geology on Mars these days
Pasadena CA (SPX) Sep 15, 2022
A new paper based on exploration by the NASA's Curiosity Mars rover-and reviewed by an astronaut while she was on the International Space Station (ISS), in what may be a first for peer-reviewed science literature-describes how dramatically different geology on Mars works from that on Earth.
The paper is part of an ongoing attempt to understand the rock cycle on the Red Planet-that is, how

Flying to (hypothetical) Planet 9: Why visit it, how could we get there and would it surprise us like Pluto?
In a recent study submitted to Earth and Planetary Astrophysics, an international team of researchers discuss the various mission design options for reaching a hypothetical Planet 9, also known as "Planet X," which state-of-the-art models currently estimate to possess a semi-major axis of approximately 400 astronomical units (AU). The researchers postulate that sending a spacecraft to Planet 9 could pose scientific benefits much like when NASA's New Horizons spacecraft visited Pluto in 2015. But does Planet 9 actually exist?
"It is hard to put a specific number on the confidence level because so many uncertainties remain," said Dr. Manavsi Lingam, who is an Assistant Professor at the Florida Institute of Technology, and a co-author on the study.
