- January 11, 2020
A few days into his internship, Cukier was studying eclipsing binaries - solar systems where two stars circle each other - when he noticed something unusual. "We don't have a large sample size of binary system planets". The finding is a positive sign for the TESS' capabilities, Kostov said, adding that he believes there will be more planets to be found.

Mars Loses Water Faster Than Previously Believed
- January 11, 2020
Once here in the higher and colder altitudes, the water is blasted with ultra-violet (UV) rays from the Sun, which disassociate the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Ultimately, we might also learn what eventually led to Mars losing all its liquid water from the surface. Nowadays, Mars is largely dry and the water on the planet has become largely frozen glacial layers. (more...)

Lunar Eclipse 2020: When And Where To Watch Chandra Grahan
- January 09, 2020
The coming lunar eclipse will be Penumbral lunar eclipse type; where about 90 percent of the full moon will be inside Earth's penumbra area during the peak of the Penumbral eclipse. As a result, only part of the moon turns dark as opposed to a total lunar eclipse when the entire moon goes dark before turning a dark red or rusty orange color. (more...)

Wandering star with flaming nebula captured by the Hubble Space Telescope
- January 07, 2020
A large population of globular star clusters would suggest the galaxy swallowed up smaller satellite galaxies over many billions of years. "The bright star AE Aurigae is visible near the nebula centre and is so hot it is blue, emitting light so energetic it knocks electrons away from atoms in the surrounding gas", the agency explained in a statement.

New Evidence Suggests That Venus Might Have Active Volcanoes
- January 07, 2020
Venus , which is closer to the Sun than Earth but not as close as the steamy Mercury, hasn't been studied in the same way as some other planets in our system, and there's still a lot we don't know about it. Sadly, the ages of lava eruptions and volcanoes on Venus weren't recognized till not too long ago for the reason that the adjustment charge of recent lava was not properly constrained. (more...)
