How well do we know stars other than the Sun?
What is a “gravilaser,” and why might astronomers want to make one?
MeerKAT, a radio telescope, made a movie of the 2020 Great Conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn, and found a new pulsar in the background.
Today’s authors analyze the time delay between energetic flares coming from a black hole x-ray binary system, and try to determine if this is evidence of a magnetic process occuring in the accretion disk.
Do planets end up at a different location, if there is a magnetic field in the protoplanetary disk? Find out in today’s bite!
