AAS Nova Celebrates 10 Years of Astronomy Research News
AAS Nova turned 10 this year! For our 2,000th post, we’re looking back on the past decade of astronomy research.
Playing Pool with Planets
A new study suggests that warm and hot Jupiters, despite looking different today, underwent the same dynamical evolution when they were younger.
The new observations show that the asteroid will safely pass by the Moon at a distance of more than 20,000 kilometers.
Astrobites reports on new mid-infrared observations that allow researchers to probe the structure of active galactic nuclei.
Researchers observed Weywot, the largest moon of the dwarf planet Quaoar, as it briefly blotted out the light from a star.
A recent study looks at the star and dust morphologies across samples of massive galaxies to understand how dusty star-forming galaxies fit into the picture of massive galaxy evolution.
During its commissioning phase, the highly anticipated Vera C. Rubin Observatory serendipitously spotted the third known interstellar object.
Hunting for Exomoons Around a Lonely Planet
Astrobites reports on how JWST may be the key to finding moons around planets beyond our solar system.
New observations from JWST and the Very Large Telescope illuminate the dark feature at the center of a galaxy cluster’s brightest occupant.
