Methane debate splits Mars community
Methane debate splits Mars community By Michael Schirber, Astrobio.net This image shows concentrations of methane discovered on Mars. Credit: NASA Observations over the last decade suggest that methane clouds form briefly over Mars during the summer months. The discovery has left many scientists scratching their heads, since it doesn't fit into models of the martian atmosphere. "The reports are ex
How Planets Can Survive a Supernova
How Planets Can Survive a SupernovaNew models hint at huge population of free-roaming planets. When a star dies in a violent supernova, some of its planets may survive the blast but be ejected from orbit and sent wandering the galaxy, a new study suggests. The theory offers an explanation for the handful of free-roaming planets found so far, and it could mean many more such rogue worlds exist acro
Baby star blasts jets of water into space
Astronomers have found a nascent star 750 light years from earth that shoots colossal jets of water -- a cosmic fire hose -- out its poles in bullet-like pulses. In a process that almost defies adjectives and analogies, each jet of water is the equivalent of a hundred million times the water flowing through the Amazon River every second and the speed of the jet is the equivalent of 80 times the mu
Moons like Earth's could be more common than we thought
The interactions that form comparatively large moons like our own were thought to be rare About one in 10 rocky planets around stars like our Sun may host a moon proportionally as large as Earth's, researchers say. Our Moon is disproportionately large - more than a quarter of Earth's diameter - a situation once thought to be rare. Using computer simulations of planet formation, researchers have no
Transiting Super-Earth Detected Around Naked Eye Star
One of the first known stars to host an extrasolar planet, was that of 55 Cancri. The first planet in this system was reported in 1997 and today the system is known to host at least five planets, the inner most of which, 55 Cnc e, was recently discovered to transit the star, giving new information about this planet. 55 Cnc is an interesting system in many respects. Being a mere 41 lightyears from
