Recent astronomy articles appear all over the Internet and in magazines dedicated to the science and the hobby. New photos of space objects result in articles. New space missions result in articles. Every new discovery and piece of information generates a tremendous amount of discussion. Here’s just some of the most recent astronomy articles.
There were many recent astronomy articles on space dust that was bumpy. Why is this important? Scientists know that hydrogen is the universe’s basic building block. However, larger molecules require that hydrogen bonds. Because of the cold in space, hydrogen needs a little push. Scientists now realize that bumpy molecules may fit that bill. Imagine that.
One of Saturn’s moons is known as the Death Star. With its huge crater, it resembles the famous movie prop. Recent astronomy articles focused on Cassini’s mission to this moon, called Mimas. New photos and information were gathered. Folks loved to see this news. One hope scientists have is that this new data will reveal information about the number of crater creating objects fly through the Saturn system. This can give new insight into how busy our solar system is as far as impact capable objects, as well as reveal the true extent of how other planets, like Saturn, serve as object scrubbers in our solar system.
For years people have studied dark matter. It contributes to the expansion of the universe, but scientists don’t really know how. Dark matter was a popular headline in recent astronomy articles. SNAP, the SuperNova/Acceleration Probe, was planned to help solve dark matter by examining many distant supernovae. Dark matter makes up about 70% of the matter in the universe, so learning about it is important.
A proto-sun is the name given to our sun before it officially became a star. Many researchers, however wondered whether this proto-sun may have emitted useful heat or light or particles. The answer is yes according to recent astronomy articles. Scientists have used new techniques to discover that the protosun did indeed emit ultraviolet and other particles in an early form of the solar wind. All of this helped life on Earth form.
The Internet is a great source for learning about recent astronomy articles.
