Interesting things are happening around the beloved Beta Pic. Bands of unexpected gas may be due to cometary collisions – but are these potential comets similar to our own?
Yes, ‘Oumuamua is weird; and no, it is probably not a probe sent by an alien civilization. Sometimes scientists (and journalists) should be a little more careful when making (and reporting on) extraordinary claims, especially when the word “alien” is involved.
Apparently, rocky asteroids like our interstellar visitor ‘Oumuamua are likely to be formed in binary stars.
ALMA has taken a brand-new image of Fomalhaut’s famous debris disk. What can we learn from it?
Didn’t know comets had landslides too? Well, now you do!
