Will we ever know the true nature of 'Oumuamua, the first interstellar visitor? | Space
On Oct. 19, 2017, Robert Weryk, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, spotted an intriguing new object with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS1) in Hawaii.
The strange object, later dubbed ' Ouamuamua , was the first known interstellar object to visit the solar system. But astronomers were able to observe the odd visitor for only 11 days before it appeared too small and too dim to be detected.
Tesla launches new financing option for Solar Roof with lower monthly payments - Electrek
Tesla has launched a new financing option for its Solar Roof with lower monthly payments as the company tries to make the product more affordable.
The product has been widely recognized for its beautiful design. It undeniably has significant advantages over regular solar panels, with the ability to penetrate markets like new houses and homes that need a roof replacement relatively soon.
How I Went Solar With Sunrun And SPAN

The SPAN panel changed my relationship with my home's electrical system. I'm no longer guessing at how much power I'm using, I can get hard numbers and see exactly how many kWh my house needs to operate.
Watch: Powerful Solar Flare Captured By NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory
After NASA's Parker Probe reached extremely close to the Sun's corona, the space agency has captured the visuals of a "significant" solar flare . Captured at 11:31 am IST on Friday, the mid-level solar flare was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory that keeps a close watch on the Sun .
EarthSky | Rugby ball-shaped exoplanet surprises astronomers
Planets are round, right? While many are squashed slightly at the poles ( as Earth is ), all the planets in our solar system are basically spheres. The same goes for the many exoplanets found so far.
An international team of researchers studied the oddly-shaped planet using the CHEOPS space telescope. The astronomers published their peer-reviewed findings in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics on January 11.
Astronomers witness a star 3,750 light-years away sabotaging planet formation
When it comes to observing protoplanetary disks , the Atacama Large Millimetre /sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) is probably the champion. ALMA was the first telescope to peer inside the almost inscrutable protoplanetary disks surrounding young stars and watch planets forming.
According to new observations, it looks like chaos and disorder are part of the process. Astronomers using ALMA have watched as a star got too close to one of these planet-forming disks, tearing a chunk away and distorting the disk's shape.
Dust Grains Escape a Dismal Fate To Build Planets | Discover Magazine
In protoplanetary disks — the gas and dust clouds from which planets are made — the orbits of millimeter-sized dust particles drift inward.
Until recently, scientists couldn't prove the existence of such 'dust traps.' But telescope observations have detected concentrations of larger dust grains in protoplanetary disks that demonstrate their possibility.
Lighten Up With the Best Solar Panels in 2022
Solar panels have been a hot topic of conversation for sustainably minded people for decades, but it's taken a long time for them to become a viable option for the average person.
In 2022, it's possible to get solar panels designed to power your home, take camping, or replace the power adapter you use to charge your phone or other small electronics. Investing in solar panels is not only a way to reduce your carbon footprint, but using them can actually save you money.
Marin Voice: Utilities commission took wrong turn in quest for equity – Marin Independent
The effort to reform the state's residential solar incentive program started with good intentions. But the recent proposal from the California Public Utilities Commission is deeply flawed and will have dire consequences for our fight against climate change.
In a quest for equity, the proposed rule so thoroughly degrades the economics of solar that, if implemented, not even the most eco-minded homeowner will choose to install a system.
