In 2023, Emery et al. wrote that near-infrared spectroscopy by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2022 suggests that Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar underwent internal melting, differentiation, and chemical evolution, like the larger dwarf planets Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake, but unlike "all smaller KBOs".
For the past few months, Saturn's rings have been appearing thinner and thinner to those using ground telescopes. By March 2025, the rings will disappear entirely from view, according to Earth Sky ...
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope have made precise tests of general relativity on galactic scales. The nearby galaxy ESO 325-G004 acts as a strong gravitational lens, distorting light from a distant galaxy behind it to create an Einstein ring around its centre. By comparing the mass of ESO 325-G004 (from ...
Kronos is a concept mission to Saturn.It is aimed at detailed study of the chemical composition of Saturn's atmosphere, gravity and magnetic fields. The proposal consists of the solar powered carrier spacecraft, two atmospheric probes and (possibly) two small probes for the close-up imaging of the Saturnian rings.
At the dawn of the 17th Century, Galileo Galilei began the first major search of the night sky (as well as the Sun!) using a new Dutch invention — the telescope. In the era when William ...
The European Space Agency has selected a gravitational-wave mission for its L3 mission, due to launch 2034, the current concept is the evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (eLISA). [20] Also in development is the Japanese Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO).
Viral photo posted to social media upon the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn was captured via telescope in Massachusetts, using a special technique. Fact check: Images of Saturn, Jupiter are real ...
The solid line is based on lunar microcrater counts, spacecraft measurements, [120] meteor and NEO observations. [121] The dashed line represents a collisional steady-state distribution [122] Small Solar System objects in interplanetary space range from sub-micrometer-sized dust particles to km-sized comets and asteroids.
