The Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) will help astronomers solve some of the greatest mysteries of modern astrophysics, including unveiling the formation of planetary systems similar to our own.
The dusty disks that orbit young stars are the cradles of planets. They form along with the star and contain tiny grains of dust floating through huge amounts of gas.
Tiny but precise: Team creates compact device to help spaceships land safely on planets
The optical microresonator built by the team is only 2 millimeters in length, compared to the velocity-monitoring tool most commonly used on spacecraft—the Fabry-Perot interferometer —which can be as long as 500 millimeters.
"Every gram of a device makes a huge difference in how much fuel I will have to have on a spacecraft and how many other items I can include as payload on that spacecraft," said SMU's Volkan Ötügen, one of the creators of the optical microresonator.

China Is Hatching a Plan to Find Earth 2.0 News and Research - Scientific American
After sending robots to the Moon, landing them on Mars and building its own space station, China is now eyeing distant solar systems. This month, scientists will release detailed plans for the country’s first mission to discover exoplanets.
The mission will aim to survey planets outside the Solar System in other parts of the Milky Way, with the goal of finding the first Earth-like planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a star just like the Sun.
'Baby Jupiter', hundreds of light-years away, offers clues on how planets form
How do planets form? For many years scientists thought they understood this process by studying the one example we had access to: our own Solar System.
However, the discovery of planets around distant stars in the 1990s made it clear that the picture was much more complicated than we knew.
Skywatch: Planets visible in our skies in Cumbria | The Mail
JUST like last week, if you want to see planets this week you'll have to stay up very late or get up very early, because all the action is taking place in the morning sky, in the hours before dawn.
But if you want to see the planets you'll need a very low, very flat eastern horizon; if your skyline in that direction has trees, houses or whopping big fells on it then they will hide the planets from view.
Nasa scientists reveal HUGE clue that could help spot 'alien farms' on distant planets
NA SA scientists have detailed a genius way to spot signs of thriving alien civilizations on distant planets.
In a paper this week, they suggested that greenhouse gases on other worlds could provide proof that we're not alone in the universe.
That's because industrial-scale farming carried out by little green men would release plumes of emissions into the atmosphere.
Ukrainian Astronomers Discover 'Exocomets' around Another Star News and Research - ...
When a comet dips near the sun, it’s a spectacular and rare sight from here on Earth. Our solar system is brimming with these small chunks of ice, though, orbiting a great distance from the sun in the far-out Oort Cloud .
Astronomers from the Main Astronomical Observatory (MAO) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv recently published a discovery of five new exocomets —comets orbiting a star other than the sun—in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics , using data from the ...
4 billion-year-old relic from early solar system heading our way – YubaNet
An enormous comet — approximately 80 miles across, more than twice the width of Rhode Island — is heading our way at 22,000 miles per hour from the edge of the solar system.
Comets, among the oldest objects in the solar system, are icy bodies that were unceremoniously tossed out of the solar system in a gravitational pinball game among the massive outer planets, said David Jewitt.
