Venus may be quite similar in size and mass as Earth, but its surface conditions could not be any more different! Can a modern space telescope like JWST identify the difference between an exoEarth and an exoVenus?
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.
Signs of life on other worlds might be detectable with today’s instruments – but can JWST detect the signs of conditions where life could form? Today’s authors try to answer this question.
Today’s authors discovered a very long, very odd galactic tail, and discuss what that means for its origin and for the history of the galax(ies) involved!
In today’s paper, the authors describe and attempt a method to trace the evolution of our galaxy by comparing the ratio of oxygen isotopes in different regions of the Milky Way!
