New Study Could Assist in Mitigating Effects of Severe Space Weather

The magnetosphere of the Earth protects it from the aggressive battering of the solar wind. It is almost like a protective shield that soaks up and deflects plasma from the solar wind coming from the Sun. The magnetosphere is the region of space where the Earth's magnetic field exists. Stunning dancing auroral displays are produced when conditions are perfect.

Aggressive ‘Electric Wind’ in Planets Removes Atmospheres and Oceans

A recent study conducted by a team of researchers belonging to NASA and UCL illustrated that a strong ‘electric wind’ across Venus is capable of removing the components of water from the planet’s upper atmosphere. This could have played a major part in the removal of the planet’s oceans.

Caltech, NASA Discover Youngest Exoplanet Orbiting Young Star

The complex and turbulent process of how planets formed is still quite a mystery. So far, over 3,000 exoplanets have been located by astronomers. Exoplanets are planets that orbit the stars rather than the Earth’s Sun. most of these are middle-aged – extending to over a billion years.

Researchers Fine Tune Technique for Identifying Quantum Entanglement

A team of quantum computing researchers from RMIT have formulated and illustrated a technique that can effectively identify high-dimensional entanglement. In quantum physics, entanglement can be defined as the capacity of two or more particles to be linked to each other in ways which are outside the realm of classical physics. Data regarding a particle found in an entangled ensemble offers an 'unnatural' amount of data on the other particles.

Astronomers Discover Startling Existence of Surplus Giant Planets in Star Cluster

A team of astronomers from all over the world have discovered that there are many more planets similar to the hot Jupiter type than expected in a cluster of stars known as Messier 67. The HARPS spectrograph at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile is one among the various instruments and telescopes that were used to make this unexpected discovery.

Astronomers Detect Nature of One of First Stars Using Elemental Analysis

No one has yet observed the first stars that formed in the Milky Way. In all likelihood, they will never be directly observed, because the first stars are massive, ending their lives only a few millions years after their birth.
