Protoplanetary disks don’t exist in isolation; when young stars pass each other by, their gravitational encounter can disrupt, or maybe even kickstart, planet formation.
In today’s post, we interview Dr. Ekta Patel, a Miller postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, about her astronomy journey.
Voyager 2 observed unusual dark plumes on the icy moon Triton. Read on to learn what may cause this mysterious process.
Traces of planets devoured by their host stars can possibly be found within the external layers of the stellar surface. These remains tell a story of the evolution and architecture of different planetary systems and grant new appreciation for our relatively calm environment.
In our latest #UndergradResearch post, Meredith Vogel talks about how an exoplanet’s habitability can be affected by other planets’ orbits in multi-planet systems.
