Most scientists dream of having a "Eureka!" moment — that precious instant when you realize you have discovered something new, wonderful and significant.
In movies, we imagine it occurring with a swell of epic music and perhaps some well-timed lightning strikes. As Professor Ryan C. Ogliore of Washington University in St. Louis tells it, however, the team of scientists he was on had a more anticlimactic build-up to their breakthrough.
Nasa telescope spots mysterious 'free-floating planets' not attached to any solar system | The
Scientists have seen evidence of a mysterious set of "free-floating" planets, making their way through deep space without being attached to any star.
The research was done using Nasa's Kepler Space Telescope, which captured intriguing signals that suggested there are Earth-sized planets hiding within space.
Sculpted by starlight: A meteorite witness to the solar system's birth: Researchers use unusual
In 2011, scientists confirmed a suspicion: There was a split in the local cosmos.
Early in the solar system's history, material that would later coalesce into planets had been hit with a hefty dose of ultraviolet light, which can explain this difference. Where did it come from?
Now, researchers from the lab of Ryan Ogliore, assistant professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, have determined which was responsible for the split.

In 2011, scientists confirmed the suspicion: there was a division in the local universe.
Early in the history of the solar system, matter that would later coalesce into the planet was struck by large doses. Ultraviolet rays , This can explain this difference. Where did it come from? Two theories emerged.
Imperial experts search Gloucestershire meteorite for Solar System ingredients | Imperial News |
At 4.5 billion years old, the rare rock that hails from the birth of our Solar System has held onto its unique chemistry, meaning we can get an idea of the ingredients present at this crucial time.
As well as dating the rock, initial analyses showed it to be an extremely rare type of meteorite called a carbonaceous chondrite. This type of meteorite is rich in carbon, water, and organic matter.
A Mystery of Jupiter's Constant Aurora Has Finally Been Solved After 40 Years
Earth is not the only world adorned with the glowing atmospheric phenomenon that is aurora. In fact, in a Solar System aurora competition, the clear winner would be Jupiter.
Because they glow only in non-visible wavelengths, we can't see them with the naked eye, so it wasn't until just 40 years ago that they were discovered. Ever since, scientists have wondered how these auroras produce periodic bursts of X-radiation.
10 Best Solar Panels for Homes (2021) - EcoWatch
Whether you're installing a DIY solar panel system or having a top solar company handle the details, you'll want to choose the best solar panels for your home. But with so many options, it can be hard to know which panels you need.
In this article, we'll narrow down the 10 best residential solar panels based on materials, price, efficiency and more. All homes are different, so there's no one best solar panel for every system.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a solar system installed in Arizona will produce 60 to 70 percent more electricity than a rooftop system in most other places in America.
When most of us think of household items that use a lot of energy, we generally think about the big boys — the air conditioning unit, refrigerator, washer, dryer, or dishwasher.
New Type of Stellar Grain Discovered | www.caltech.edu
Scientists have discovered a new type of star dust whose composition indicates that it formed during a rare form of nucleosynthesis (the process through which new atomic nuclei are created) and could shed new light on the history of water on Earth.
A team led by cosmochemists from Caltech and Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand studied ancient minerals aggregates within the Allende meteorite (which fell to Earth in 1969) and found that many of them had unusually high amounts of strontium-84, a relatively rare light isotope of
NASA Will Send Two Missions To Venus, With Help From Colorado Scientists | KUNC
Within our solar system, Venus is the closest in size to Earth. It's also about the same distance from the Sun — which is why some scientists call it our sister planet. However, that may not be a fair comparison considering the big difference in conditions on the surface.
"Venus is really a version of hell," said Larry Esposito, with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder.
