Water has been detected in the most massive galaxy pair in the early Universe, according to new observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
Astronomers may have just found the first ever evidence of a planet orbiting three stars at the same time. Triple star systems make up only about 10% of all systems and much fewer planets have been detected in them compared to systems with just one star. That is why this newest research is incredibly significant. Read more »
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has detected the oldest spiral galaxy found to date. Named BRI 1335-0417, researchers who were studying the data collected by ALMA discovered the galaxy with a spiral morphology that formed just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This is providing very important information to scientists attempting to solve. Read more »
Ever since 2I/Borisov was first discovered, astronomers have been fascinated with this interstellar comet. With new information being discovered about the comet, experts have confidentially called it the most “pristine” space object that’s ever been studied.
Astronomers don’t think that 2I/Borisov ever traveled close to any star (other than our sun) which means that its composition of gas and dust was completely pure and original. When comets travel close to stars, they can become altered or degraded by the sun’s radiation and heat. Stefano Bagnulo, who is from the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, Northern Ireland, UK, and who led the new study, stated, “2I/Borisov could represent the first truly pristine comet ever observed.”
