Next week we’ll be at this year’s DPS/EPSC meeting in Pasadena, CA! In preparation, we talked with Melissa McGrath, the new AAS Lead Editor for the Solar System, Exoplanets, and Astrobiology corridor.
The recent discovery of old, variable stars in the Milky Way’s nucleus may have solved a long-standing question.
Pulsar planets were the first planets outside the solar system ever discovered, but they now appear to be very rare. Astrobites reports on what makes pulsar planets so uncommon.
Imaging of Venus during its 2012 transit across the Sun revealed X-ray emission coming from the planet’s dark side. What was the source of this light?
The Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite of our galaxy, may have a newly discovered satellite of its own — a faint collection of stars being torn apart by the Cloud’s gravitational forces.
When two galaxies collide and merge, what happens to the supermassive black holes that reside at the galaxies’ centers?
What happens when a planet orbits a rapidly spinning, oblate star? Astrobites reports on how this can potentially double the number of seasons that a planet experiences!
Why aren’t the outputs of cosmological simulations consistent with the satellite galaxies we observe around the Milky Way? A recent study may have found an answer.
Thus far, most of the exoplanets we’ve discovered orbit around cool stars rather than hot ones. Recently, an unusual technique has been found to discover a planet in the habitable zone of a very hot star.
