DARPA is seeking proposals for a small lunar orbiter that could be used to test operations in very low orbits while prospecting for water ice. The post DARPA requests proposals for water-prospecting lunar orbiter appeared first on SpaceNews.
In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Dave Eicher invites you to head out before sunrise and view brilliant Venus. The planet, which is only outshone by the Sun or the Moon, will lie low in the eastern sky. It will rise and hour or so before the Sun. Even as morning twilight begins to brighten the sky,Continue reading “This Week in Astronomy with Dave Eicher: Venus in the Morning Sky” The post This Week in Astronomy with Continue ReadingThis Week in Astronomy with Dave Eicher: Venus in the Morning Sky

While it’s much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it’s still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared. Continue ReadingHow did this ancient black hole get so big?
By analyzing the available observational data, astronomers from the Tribhuvan University in Nepal and elsewhere have investigated the properties of a compact dwarf galaxy designated SDSS J134313.15+364457.5 (or J1343+3644 for short). As a result, they found that J1343+3644 will evolve into a compact elliptical galaxy.

The infant universe’s population of huge black holes could owe itself to ultralight dark matter, scientists say. Continue ReadingUltralight dark matter may have helped monstrous black holes form in the early universe
Researchers have developed a new coronagraph—an optical device that blocks out light from a bright source—that could make it possible to see distant exoplanets obscured by light from their parent stars. The new device could reveal exoplanets beyond our solar system that today’s telescopes cannot resolve, providing insights into the possibility of life beyond Earth.
