Young stars bring no gain

As practically every component of us was created in a dying star, the phrase "we are all stardust" is not unjustified. However, one day that will change.

From March 11 to 13, the Meteore Working Group will meet.

The Arbeitskreis Meteore (AKM) gladly invites anyone with an interest in meteors and atmospheric phenomena to attend the AKM meeting in Bad Kissingen from March 11–13, 2022.

Mercury and the gas giants are part of a small planetary parade.

Four out of the five bright planets can be seen in the evening sky at the beginning of the year, which begins with a passable Mercury visibility in the evening and a little planetary procession. Venus then turns into the rising star.

The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully launched.

The biggest and most potent space telescope ever launched. At 1:20 PM, the James Webb Space Telescope launched from the Kourou Cosmodrome as previously scheduled.

The sun was touched for the first time

The Solar Parker probe has flown below the critical limit at which the Sun's atmosphere ends. The solar probe, built to withstand extreme conditions, will get even closer.

A planet the color of pure iron

One of the smallest planets ever identified is the extraterrestrial GJ 367b. Yet he has other qualities as well that set him apart.

Where there are only 16 hours in a year

Very rare celestial body Toi-2109b is an Ultraheiss exoplanet. He circles his star quickly, among other things.

The waters benefited from the sun.

Where all the water on earth comes from is traditionally controversial. So far, hardly anyone has had the sun as a source on their screen. Perhaps incorrectly.

Exoplanets traveling to

Two extraterrestrial planets make an oblique orbit around their star. On the other hand, a third orbits its star as one would anticipate it to. Yet why?

Algorithm identifies more than 300 new exoplanets

The Kepler mission data contained hundreds of new exoplanets that an AI discovered. According to the algorithm's creators, it is not only more efficient but more transparent.

With the SpaceX capsule, move forward

Matthias Maurer traveled to the SpaceX "Dragon" spacecraft in a Tesla with gullwing doors. The dragon ascended and came to life at 21.03 local time. International Space Station is the next stop.

Astronaut Maurer flies SpaceX to the ISS space station

Now it still functions! The first German to enter space in a personal spacecraft is Matthias Maurer. At 03.03 a.m. the crew from the start complex 39a in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Four astronauts landed safely back on Earth

S of thes of the aa /.../.../.../.../.../... The two Americans, the Frenchman, and the two Japanese are now back on Earth.

Flying with Maurer to the ISS has been again postponed.

Matthias Maurer, a German astronaut, must yet wait: As a precaution, the NASA will begin the upcoming weekend because one of the crew members appears to be little off.

Supernate and supermass pond

Two black holes are located 89 million light-years from Earth and are in orbit around one another. They are separated from one another more closely than any other pair of known giants.

Please, once extragalactic, with everything.

Exoplanets could become the norm rather than the exception. However, it is still challenging to locate them, and this is particularly true for exoplanets outside of our galaxy.

Planetary chain in the evening sky

Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus form a striking chain of planets in the evening sky in December, and on the final evenings of the year, Mercury joins them. Meanwhile, Mars is battling its foe in the morning sky.

To be utterly destroyed

For the first time, the US space probe Dart will investigate whether it is possible to divert an asteroid from impacting the earth in the future. Full use is required for the mission.

The early morning sky

In February, Venus can be seen as a bright morning star, Mercury exhibits unusual season visibility, and even Mars can be seen, albeit for a very brief period of time. In the evening, a gas tycoon bids farewell.

The "Webb" global space telescope has entered its intended orbit.

The second Lagrangian point has been reached by the James Webb Space Telescope. The orbit is ideal for space exploration because it is only 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.
