Planet WASP-76b Rains Iron and Here is Why Astronomers using European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) telescope - Very Large Telescope (VLT) observed an exoplanet, WASP-76b where it rains iron on its atmosphere like it rains water (H2O) in our planet- Earth.
Astronomers Captured Light from a Black Hole Coalescence After 100 years of the Einsteins calculation and prediction of the gravitational waves, astronomers from the LIGO and Virgo collaborations finally …
Gravitational Microlensing for Detecting Exoplanets After astronomers, Aleksander Wolszczan and Dale Frail announced (also published) the discovery of two planets orbiting the pulsar PSR 1257+12 for the first …
One More Weird Gravitational Wave from Space Recently all LIGO facilities were fitted with high detection technology called the Quantum-enhanced system to increase the sensitivity of all three observatories.
Direct Imaging Method for Detecting the Exoplanets This artist's concept shows the geometry of a space telescope aligned with a starshade, a technology used to block starlight in order to reveal the presence …
Strange Planets in the Universe (Part-Two) Among those exoplanets, an exoplanet called TrES-4b, discovered in 2006 and announced in 2007, is considered one of the largest exoplanets ever found in the universe.
Transit Photometry Method for Finding the Exoplanets In addition to providing an estimation of planet diameters, and the atmospheric composition of the exoplanets, this transit photometry search can operate on a massive scale.
Violent Death of Star Captured by Hubble Earlier in May 2020, astronomers witnessed a star system being born, though appear as previously predicted model of the star formation, that observation was utterly a surprising scene and now a team of astronomers using Hubble Space Telescope witnessed a violent death of the star (planetary nebula stage - a stage in the evolution of star).
Radial Velocity Method or Doppler Spectroscopy for Finding the Exoplanets Due to the gravitational field of the massive object, the smaller massive object will revolve around the more massive object but you may have not noticed that the less massive object also interferes with the orbit of the more massive object but they do in practice.
Telescope (Part-Two); Types of Telescopes for Astronomy Though Kepler telescope has faced a severe malfunction (on its four reaction wheels) during its designed mission and has almost loosed the stability, engineers didn’t just terminate the mission but devised a remarkable solution and used the pressure of sunlight to stabilize the spacecraft so it could continue to do science.
