This digital telescope helped extract the Whirlpool Nebula from the sky

My wow moment with the Unistellar EVscope 2 happened almost immediately after setting it up. As the digital telescope sent my phone a gradually improving image of the spiral arms of M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, I felt a little awe as I realized that billions of stars had sent photons through million light years on …

Mars had a long-lasting magnetic field, extending the chances of life

CHICAGO-Once upon a time, according to scientists, Mars was far from the cold and inhospitable desert of today. Rivers carved out canyons, lakes filled craters, and a magnetic field may have repelled space radiation, preventing it from eating away at atmospheric moisture. As the Martian interior cooled, according to leading theories, its magnetic field died …

Two potentially habitable Earth-like worlds orbit a star in our cosmic backyard

Astronomers have discovered two potentially habitable worlds orbiting a red dwarf star in our cosmic backyard. Extra-solar planets or “exoplanets” are located only 16 light years away and have masses similar to our planet. They are located in the “habitable zone” of their star, GJ 1002, defined as the shell around a star that is …

James Webb Telescope sights distant small planets

BALTIMORE — When the James Webb Space Telescope was first imagined, exoplanets hadn’t even been discovered yet. Now the observatory is showing astronomers what it can learn about planets orbiting other stars, including smaller ones. Since its launch in December 2021, JWST had already “sniffed” the atmospheres of Jupiter-sized planets orbiting extremely close to their …
