Uranus is weirder than we thought: Scientists report new mysteries of the tilted planet

Salon  

A pale blue-green enigma, the planet Uranus has long fascinated astronomers precisely because of its extreme distance, some 1.6 billion miles from Earth. In a study published in The Planetary Science Journal, University of North Dakota astronomer Caleb Strong explained that their research revealed Miranda likely has a subsurface ocean, which Strong described as “weird.” “It was not expected based …

Astronomers unravel the mystery of the 'Dragon's Egg' nebula

The Hindu  

Two large stars residing inside a spectacular cloud of gas and dust nicknamed the "Dragon's Egg" nebula have presented a puzzle to astronomers. When two stars merge, material can be thrown out, and this likely created the nebula we see today," said Chile-based European Southern Observatory astronomer Abigail Frost, lead author of the study published on Thursday in the journal …

Twisted magnetic field observed around Milky Way's central black hole

The Hindu  

Astronomers on Wednesday announced that they have detected a strong and organised magnetic field twisted in a spiral pattern around the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, revealing previously unknown qualities of the immensely powerful object lurking at the center of our galaxy. The magnetic field around the M87 black hole, called M87*, enables it to launch powerful jets of material …

A stream of energetic particles, called cosmic rays, constantly bombards earth from space. Sometimes, particles in the cosmic rays interact with the sun’s atmosphere to produce gamma rays, which scientists study as solar gamma rays. Researchers at the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory, in Puebla, Mexico, reported on August 3 in the journal Physical Review Letters that HAWC had detected TeV-energy …
