Scientists have conducted an analysis of this dim object, and identified 65 separate elements. That's the most elements ever found in a single object outside the Solar System, and most of them are heavy elements from the bottom of the periodic table, rarely found in stars.
Since these elements can only form in extremely energetic events such as supernovae or neutron star mergers , via a mechanism called the rapid neutron-capture process, this star's composition could be a means to learn more about how heavy elements form.
Once a year, we get closer to NASA's Voyagers — here's why
NASA's two Voyager spacecraft are on a one-way trip in interstellar space on their way out of the Solar System.
The groundbreaking missions launched in 1977 to send two probes into the outer Solar System, collectively viewing Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
A Mission to Uranus Would Be Expensive, and Worth It | Tech News
If you want to visit Uranus, you need to start planning early. Designing and building a craft to cross the billion-plus miles might take a decade, and the cruise to the solar system's third-largest planet could require an additional 15 years.
Undaunted, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine recommended last month that the U.S. should launch a mission to Uranus for the first time since 1986.
Amalthea: Facts about Jupiter’s unusual inner moon | Space
The moon Amalthea is one of Jupiter’s 53 named satellites ; it was the first to be discovered after the four Galilean moons , and it is the fifth-largest overall.
Astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard discovered Amalthea on September 9, 1892, while astronomer Camille Flammarion suggested the name Amalthea after the Greek mythological figure.
Asteroid mining: Helping to meet Earth's natural resource demands - BBC News
Mitch Hunter-Scullion is describing a six-legged robot called Scar-e, the Space Capable Asteroid Robotic Explorer, which he aims to send to an asteroid to drill for precious metals such as iron, nickel and platinum.
As well as being increasingly essential for phones, laptops and cars, some metal-rich minerals like platinum will also be needed to help produce hydrogen as we transition to greener energy.
Europe's space agency needs your eyeballs to study a comet | CBC Radio
European space scientists are soliciting help from the public to spot signs of activity on a comet.
For two years, between 2014 and 2016, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft caught up to comet 67P/Churyumav-Gerasimenko , also known as simply 67P. This ambitious mission was the first to rendezvous with a comet, and stay with it as it swung past the sun.
Is California multifamily housing ready for the new economics of solar?
California utility regulators have a decision to make about the financing of solar projects, and so do multifamily housing property owners.
Regulators are considering greatly reduced rates for utility customers who feed solar energy to the grid. A December 2021 proposed decision by the California Public Utilities Commission would erode long-term solar cost savings and the timeline for return on investment.
In the Stars: 1,700 New Asteroids Found in Old Files
Astronomers have unearthed traces of more than 1,700 new asteroids found by the Hubble Space Telescope but hidden in its files for 20 years.
Artificial intelligence has helped scientists discover a total of 1,701 new asteroid trails which could unlock the secrets of how Earth was formed.

Stellar Solar partners with California car dealership on rooftop array and EV customer assistance
Stellar Solar has been selected by Capistrano Volkswagen/Mazda in San Juan Capistrano to install a combined 134-kW solar system on the two dealerships featuring Q Cells 480-W panels.
“We are thrilled to be making the move to solar. And to do it with a company with such an established track record of success and expertise in solar, battery storage and electric vehicle connectivity was just a bonus.
