What do you get when you have five exoplanets that sing and add a sixth? Why, the K2-138 system of course!
But, the K2-138 system had more to offer! The analysis which discovered the super-Earth also spotted two additional dips in the K2 light curves, roughly 42 days apart.
Planets in close orbit around stars may be safe from dangerous flares | New Scientist
Ekaterina Ilin at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam in Germany has been studying flares using data captured by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) . She found that the data made it possible to determine the location of giant …
From atoms to planets, the longest-running Space Station experiment
These interactions and forming of three-dimensional structures resemble the workings of our world on the atomic scale, a world so small that we cannot see move even with an electron microscope.
These surrogate atoms are a way for researchers to simulate how materials form on an atomic scale, and to test and visualize theories.
Earth-Sized Planets May Be Hiding in Space in 'Major' Exoplanet Finding
Astronomers believe there could be many more Earth-sized planets than previously thought because they may be lurking in the glare of what are known as double-star systems.
The finding comes after researchers from NASA and U.S. universities teamed up to find out whether some exoplanet host stars may actually be binary stars—two stars in orbit around one another.
Proximity to Sun's Magnetic Field Determines Composition of Rocky Planets, Study Says | Planetary
Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are differentiated into three layers: a metallic core, a silicate shell (mantle and crust), and a volatile envelope of gases, ices, and, for the Earth, liquid water. Each layer has different dominant elements (e.g.
The new model developed by Professor McDonough and Dr. Yoshizaki shows that during the early formation of our Solar System, when the young Sun was surrounded by a swirling cloud of dust and gas, grains of iron were drawn toward the center by the Sun's magnetic field.
Sonic Helped Robotnik Destroy Numerous Planets | Screen Rant
In issue #21 of Archie Comics' discontinued series , Dr. Robotnik combines his own intelligence with Sonic's resourcefulness by using his DNA to create the Exceptionally Versatile Evolvaoid. As the name suggests, this monstrosity is highly adaptable.
Unfortunately, when Sonic is later transported light years away from home more than 100 issues later and slowly begins his journey back, he learns that the planet he had been traveling to had just been destroyed by E.V.E.
Researchers: Maybe Half of Earth-Sized Planets Missed by Studies | Mind Matters
A recent study suggests that Earth-sized planets may be missed if they are orbiting one of two binary stars:
Earth-sized planets may be much more common than previously realized.
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered its first Earth-size planet in its star's habitable zone, the range of distances where conditions may be just right to allow the presence of liquid water on the surface.
Sculpted by starlight: A meteorite witness to the solar system's birth | The Source | Washington
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.
Earth-Sized Exoplanets May Be More Common than Previously Thought | Astronomy | Sci-News.com
In a study to be published in the Astronomical Journal , astronomers found that many exoplanet-hosting stars identified by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) are actually binary systems, where the planets orbit one of the stars in the pair; and that exoplanets twice the

Mountain Skies Mars And Venus Pass In The Night - The Transylvania Times
With the exception of tiny Mercury in the morning twilight, this month the visible planets present themselves in two pairs. First, as the sun sets in the west, we can find the terrestrial planets, Venus and Mars, following our star down.
The second pair of planets, Saturn and Jupiter, are rising about an hour apart later in the evening; Saturn shortly before 10:30 in Capricorn followed by Jupiter an hour later in Aquarius.
