A European spacecraft is showing us how dynamic the Sun is with newly released images, the highest-resolution images of our star's surface so far. Look (safely) at the Sun's surface in the highest ...
The images, taken on March 22, 2023, and released Wednesday, showcase different dynamic aspects of the sun, including the movements of its magnetic field and the glow of the ultrahot solar corona ...
The Kepler orrery is a group of animations created by Daniel Fabrycky and Ethan Kruse, which show exoplanets and stars discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope. 1,815 exoplanets and 726 planetary systems are in the animation.
The pictures were taken on March 7 when the spacecraft crossed directly between the Earth and Sun.
Kepler-1649 is a type-M red dwarf star estimated to be roughly ¼ the radius of the Sun [10] with only two confirmed planets in its orbit, the other being Kepler-1649b. [11] Kepler-1649b is similar to Venus from our own solar system in two ways: both Kepler-1649b and Venus have orbits roughly half the radius of the next known planets (Kepler ...
It was discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011 and was the first known transiting planet to orbit within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. [4] Kepler-22 is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. Kepler-22b's radius is roughly twice that of Earth. [5]
A new solar telescope in Hawaii has released a series of images of the sun that peer inside the depths of its sunspots and so-called "quiet regions." The sun may be close to 94 million miles away ...
Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
