JWST’s First Directly Imaged Exoplanet
Another exciting new result from JWST — its first directly imaged exoplanet!
Looking Deep Into Gravitational Waves
Ever imagined what computers go through while analyzing gravitational wave data? Today’s post sheds light on this computing nightmare.
We don’t need Planet 9!
The authors of today’s paper decided to take a less radical approach into investigating the trans-Neptunian objects. Maybe we don’t need Planet 9 after all?
A Beginners Guide to Predicting Supernovae
If the light from supernovae travels at, unsurprisingly, the speed of light (which really is the upper limit here), how can we predict them? Time travel, is that you? Spoiler alert: it isn’t. It’s neutrinos.
All in all, it’s just another brick in the mass function
Do you like LEGOs? Do you like power laws? If you answered yes to both (which, if you’re an astronomer, you most likely did), then you’re in luck — today’s authors demonstrate how to use LEGOs to teach about power laws and mass functions!
