Webb telescope captures iconic Ring Nebula in unprecedented detail

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope for a fresh perspective of an iconic celestial favorite called the Ring Nebula. The new image captures never-before-seen details within the colorful nebula, located in the Lyra constellation about 2,600 light-years from Earth. The structure of the Ring Nebula can be glimpsed through amateur telescopes and has been observed and studied for years. The planetary nebula, which despite its name has nothing to do with planets, is home to the remnants of a dying star as it releases the bulk of its mass. Planetary nebulae usually have a rounded structure and were so named because they initially resembled the disks from which planets form when French astronomer Charles Messier discovered the first one in 1764. “I first saw the Rin...

Don’t Miss: Perseid Meteor Shower and a Rare Super Blue Moon

Saturn reaches opposition this month, meaning it’s at its biggest and brightest for the year, and visible all night. The “shooting stars” of the annual Perseid meteors are a must-see, overnight on August 12th. And this month brings two full moons – the second of which is a “Super Blue Moon.” What’s Up for August? See Saturn at dusk and dawn, the Perseid meteors return, and a “super blue moon.” In August, we’ve lost Venus and Mars from the evening sky, but we’ll have great views of Saturn all night. Saturn reaches opposition this month, meaning it’s directly opposite the Sun as seen from Earth. Planets at opposition rise just after sunset and are visible until dawn, and it’s when they appear at their biggest and brightest for the year. Look for the giant planet low in the eastern sky...

Voyager 2 Phones Home After Communications Lost

After days of silence, NASA's Voyager 2 finally phoned home. "A bit like hearing the spacecraft's 'heartbeat,' it confirms the spacecraft is still broadcasting, which engineers expected," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a tweet Tuesday. Communication was lost with the 46-year-old spacecraft about two weeks ago when a wrong command was accidentally sent by flight controllers. That pointed Voyager 2's antenna the wrong way, tilting it 2 degrees away from Earth, according to JPL. Voyager 2 was launched in 1977 to explore far-away planets, and it's now more than 12 billion miles from Earth. The "carrier signal" was picked up during a routine scan of the sky by NASA's Deep Space Network, according to JPL. The signal doesn't mean all communication has resumed, but it ind...

TESS Ultrahot offers new insights into the world

Measurements from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have empowered space experts to incredibly improve their comprehension of the peculiar condition of KELT-9 b, perhaps the most hottest planet known. "The weirdness factor is high with KELT-9 b," said John Ahlers, a cosmologist at Universities Space Research Association in Columbia, Maryland, and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "It's a giant planet in a very close, nearly polar orbit around a rapidly rotating star, and these features complicate our ability to understand the star and its effects on the planet." The new discoveries show up in a paper drove by Ahlers distributed on June 5 in The Astronomical Journal. Situated around 670 light-years away in the group of stars Cygnus, KELT-9 b was...

By what method can quantum computers immortalize future people

Admirably well estimate, life began on planet Earth about 3.5 billion years prior. Tragically did as well, demise. What's more, the collector stays undefeated. Around 99 percent of all species that at any point lived are presently wiped out. There's practically no logical motivation to accept people won't go along with them in a moderately inconsequential measure of time. They state nearly on the grounds that, on the off chance that we make a decent attempt, we can consider a hypothetical, science-based mediation for death. How about we consider it a "quantum respawn." We're not the original to envision eternality. Yet, we are the first to approach this truly cool exploration paper from physicists working at the University of Rochester in New York, and Purdue University in Indiana. Name...

New Horizons first experimentes with interstellar parallax

Just because, a shuttle has sent back photos of the sky from so distant that a few stars give off an impression of being in unexpected situations in comparison to we'd see from Earth. In excess of four billion miles from home and speeding toward interstellar space, NASA's New Horizons has voyage so far that it currently has an interesting perspective on the closest stars. "It's fair to say that New Horizons is looking at an alien sky, unlike what we see from Earth," said Alan Stern, New Horizons head agent from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colorado. "And that has allowed us to do something that had never been accomplished before—to see the nearest stars visibly displaced on the sky from the positions we see them on Earth." On April 22-23, the shuttle turned its long-ru...

New disclosure advances optical microscopy

New Illinois ECE examine is propelling the field of optical microscopy, giving the field a basic new instrument to take care of testing issues across numerous fields of science and building including semiconductor wafer inspection, nanoparticle detecting, material portrayal, biosensing, infection tallying, and microfluidic observing. The inquiry is regularly posed, "Why can we not see or sense nanoscale objects under a light microscope?" The course book answers are that their relative signs are frail, and their partition is littler than Abbe's goals limit. Nonetheless, the Illinois ECE explore group, drove by Illinois ECE Professor Lynford L Goddard, alongside postdoc Jinlong Zhu, and Ph.D. understudy Aditi Udupa, is testing these foundation standards with a fresh out of the plastic new ...

SpaceX rocket comes back to shore after historic astronaut dispatch

The rocket that launched SpaceX's first-at any point manned crucial came back to terra firma. That crucial, Demo-2, lifted off on a two-phase Falcon 9 rocket on Saturday (May 30) from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending NASA space travelers Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley toward the International Space Station (ISS) on board a Crew Dragon capsule. Around 9 minutes after liftoff, the Falcon 9 first stage aced a pinpoint arrival on the SpaceX drone transport "Of Course I Still Love You," which was positioned a couple hundred miles off the Florida coast. The boat before long began making a beeline for shore, and on Tuesday (June 2) its ocean journey reached a conclusion: "Of Course I Still Love You," with the rocket made sure about to its deck, showed up at Florida's Port Canaveral,...

Because of record highs , Ghostly ‘raspberry snow’ portions of Antarctica

Days off aren't in every case beneficial things. Because of record-high temperatures this month that have caused its ice tops to soften at an unmatched rate, Antartica has an upsetting new look, Smithsonian Magazine announced Friday. The Antarctic Peninsula is as of now encountering an episode of obvious snow green growth that the distribution portrays as “blood-red, flower-like spores." The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine originally detailed the marvel — nicknamed "raspberry day off" recently on its Facebook page, posting photographs of the peculiarity as observed close to their Vernadsky Research Base on Galindez Island, which sits off the northern Peninsula's coast. This green growth is known as Chlamydomonas nivalis and, as indicated by Smithsonian, could start "a crit...

This is what competitors need on their resumes. NASA is procuring space travelers to go to the moon and Mars

NASA is searching for new space explorers. The new class will staff the organization's Artemis missions, which plan to set up a station on the moon and in the long run send people to Mars. "It's the best job, on or off the planet," Brandi Dean, a representative for NASA, revealed to Business Insider. The application time frame for the new companion opens March 2 and closes March 31. The pay go: $104,898 to $161,141. NASA doesn't have a set number of open positions, yet past accomplice sizes have extended from eight to 12. The last time the organization enlisted space explorers, more than 18,000 applications came in.
