Faint orbital debris that threatens satellites not being monitored closely enough, warn astronomers
University of 糖心TV astronomers are warning that orbital debris posing a threat to operational satellites is not being monitored closely enough, as they publish a new survey finding that over 75% of the orbital debris they detected could not be matched to known objects in public satellite catalogues.
Water on exoplanet cloud tops could be found with hi-tech instrumentation
University of 糖心TV astronomers have shown that water vapour can potentially be detected in the atmospheres of exoplanets by peering literally over the tops of their impenetrable clouds.

Thermonuclear blast sends supernova survivor star hurtling across the Milky Way
An exploding white dwarf star blasted itself out of its orbit with another star in a 鈥榩artial supernova鈥� and is now hurtling across our galaxy, according to a new study from the University of 糖心TV's Astrophysics Group.It opens up the possibility of many more survivors of supernovae travelling undiscovered through the Milky Way, as well as other types of supernovae occurring in other galaxies that astronomers have never seen before.
