Astronomers have finally found a double star system that has flipped its surrounding disc beyond the orbital plane of its stars. According to the latest research published in the journal ‘Nature Astronomy’, an international team of astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) to locate a double star system that has flipped its planet-forming…
The dense rings of dust offer more time to young planetesimals to grow and become fully-fledged planets. The first large-scale, high-resolution survey Protoplanetary Disks by making use of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) yielded around 4,000 exoplanets. Some popular ones among them are massive rocky worlds, hot Jupiters, and icy dwarf planets. The Disk…
Asteroids are not the only contributor to Earth’s water, a recent study suggests. The source of all the water that we use every day has always been a mystery for the scientists and a number of hypotheses have been made in this regard from time to time. Recently, researchers from the American Geophysical Union proposed…
Flaring must be controlled globally if we want to ensure a reduction in the oil production emissions. Controlling the ever-increasing pollution is extremely important not only for our health but also for the existence of our species. The combustion of fossil fuels, like gas and oil, is a major source of the greenhouse gases, which…
The Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) shows an intense battle is going on between the stars and the dust inside one of the most luminous objects of the Milky Way. The Carina Nebula, located in the Carina Sagittarius Arm, is one of the brightest objects in the night sky. It lies at…
The rotation theory of the universe suggests that if the sun shall rise tomorrow, it may just be a fraction late. Since the Earth came into being some 4.6 billion years ago, every day it spins once around its axis just like the rising and setting of the Sun. This will continue to happen till…
Mankind is one step ahead in achieving the nuclear fusion. Considering this a source of the future, nuclear fusion can provide an unlimited amount of energy without pollution, through a process similar to that taking place inside the Sun. Magnetic field, intense pressure and heat is needed for the cores of the lighter chemical elements…
