INBOX ASTRONOMY Hubble Sees Evaporating Planet Getting the Hiccups Release date: Thursday, July 27, 2023 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Rambunctious Star Pummels Young World with Torrential Winds and Blistering Radiation Life around an ill-tempered red dwarf star is no fun for accompanying newborn planets. Call it a baptism of fire. Entangled magnetic fields cause a red dwarf to spit out "super-flares" that are 100 to 1,000 times more powerful than similar flares se ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY Webb Snaps Highly Detailed Infrared Image of Actively Forming Stars Release date: Wednesday, July 26, 2023 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Forecast: There’s a 100% chance of recurring two-sided jets for a pair of stars that are actively gathering mass. Like kittens, actively forming stars are balls of energy. But instead of being overtaken by the zoomies, stars emit energy in the form of jets, creating fantastic, textured scenes. That’s the case for two tightly ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY Webb Detects Water Vapor in Rocky Planet-forming Zone Release date: Monday, July 24, 2023 11:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time The finding shows that a water reservoir is available for terrestrial planets that might be coalescing there. Water, water, everywhere – not in drops, but as steam. Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered that thirsty planets in the PDS 70 system have access to a reservoir of water. Importantly, the water vapor was ...Continue Reading
