GRB 090423 was a gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission on April 23, 2009, at 07:55:19 UTC whose afterglow was detected in the infrared and enabled astronomers to determine that its redshift is z = 8.2, making it one of the most distant objects detected at that time with a spectroscopic redshift (GN-z11, discovered ...
The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the cavity created in the solar wind by Jupiter's magnetic field.Extending up to seven million kilometers in the Sun's direction and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction, Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest and most powerful of any planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, and by volume the largest known continuous structure in the Solar ...
New observations of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot captured by the Hubble Space Telescope show that the 190-year-old storm wiggles like gelatin and shape-shifts like a squeezed stress ball.
The burst was so bright that it blinded most gamma-ray instruments in space, preventing a true recording of its intensity. [ 10 ] [ 50 ] It was even detected by satellites not designed to detect gamma-ray bursts, such as Voyager 1 and a pair of Mars orbiters . [ 8 ]
Images taken of Jupiter by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope show a roaring jet stream over the gas giant's equator that is moving at speeds twice as fast as the winds of a Category 5 hurricane ...
Lorimer Burst – Observation of the first detected fast radio burst as described by Lorimer in 2006. [1] [failed verification]In radio astronomy, a fast radio burst (FRB) is a transient radio pulse of length ranging from a fraction of a millisecond, for an ultra-fast radio burst, [2] [3] to 3 seconds, [4] caused by some high-energy astrophysical process not yet understood.
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this view of Jupiter during the mission's 54th close flyby of the giant planet Sept. 7, 2023.
Hubble image of the scar taken on 23 July 2009 during the 2009 Jupiter impact event, showing a blemish of about 8,000 kilometres long. [ 1 ] In recorded history , the planet Jupiter has experienced impact events and has been probed and photographed by several spacecraft .
