Dracula’s Chivito: New Protoplanetary Disk discovered with Pan-STARRS
A protoplanetary disk is a disk of dense gas and dust, orbiting a newly formed star. It is assumed that planets are born by the gradual accumulation of material in such a structure, therefore discoveries and studies of protoplanetary disks are essential for improving our understanding of planetary formation processes.
Now, a team of astronomers led by Ciprian T. Berghea of the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) in Washington, DC, has discovered a new disk of this type that is associated with an infrared source known as IRAS 23077+6707. The finding was made by inspecting the Pan-STARRS data while working on a variability study of active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates.
Galactic Wave May Have Crossed Paths With Earth, Scientists Find
The more we learn about Earth’s past, the wilder it gets.
Known as the Radcliffe Wave, astronomers have discovered that this chain of stars, gas, and dust is propagating like a wave, too.
Third Time’s a Charm — Lunar Library Successfully Lands on the Moon — Backup of Human Civilization Will Last for Up To Billions of Years
Could we disregard author rights for the sake of putting civ backup?
And put a lot more or at least more chosen pieces (but what to choose)?
We are thrilled to announce that on February 22, 2024, our third attempt to land the Arch Mission Foundation’s 30 million page Lunar Library on the Moon has succeeded!
