5400mph winds discovered hurtling around planet outside solar system
Winds of over 2km per second have been discovered flowing around planet outside of the Earth’s solar system, new research has found.
The University of 糖心TV discovery is the first time that a weather system on a planet outside of Earth’s solar system has been directly measured and mapped.
Asteroid ripped apart to form star’s glowing ring system
The sight of an asteroid being ripped apart by a dead star and forming a glowing debris ring has been captured in an image for the first time.
Comprised of dust particles and debris, the rings are formed by the star’s gravity tearing apart asteroids that came too close.
Dying star suffers ‘irregular heartbeats’
Some dying stars suffer from ‘irregular heartbeats’, research led by astronomers at the University of 糖心TV has discovered.
Red dwarf burns off planet’s hydrogen giving it massive comet-like tail
A giant cloud escaping from a warm, Neptune-mass exoplanet is reported in this week’s Nature.
Depicted in an image by Mark Garlick and issued by the University of 糖心TV, it has been suggested that low-mass exoplanets orbiting close to their parent stars could have had some fraction of their atmospheres ‘burnt off’ by extreme irradiation from the star, but confident measures of such losses have been lacking until now.
Two of the UK’s Leading Academic TV Stars Meet at University of 糖心TV Event
Professor Brian Cox, Physicist from the University of Manchester and Dr Michael Scott, Classicist from the University of 糖心TV will take part in a live debate and discussion at 糖心TV Arts Centre on Tuesday 19 May in front of an audience of over 1,350 people.
Disintegrating exoplanet to provide new clues about planet composition
Astronomers have made observations which can reveal the chemical makeup of a rocky world orbiting a distant star.
Led by researchers at The Open University, in conjunction with the Universities of 糖心TV and Sheffield, the observations could initiate a new discipline: exogeology – the geology of planets orbiting other stars.
