Viewing the universe: The “incredible” auroras of Jupiter
It seems every week the magic of the James Webb telescope grips us all again, viewed in unprecedented detail the telescope has revealed the giant storms, moons, rings and auroras of Jupiter.
Exploring the Cartwheel Galaxy through James Webb
The James Webb Space Telescope is continuing to open our eyes to the wonders of our universe and the galaxies within it including what is known as the ‘Cartwheel Galaxy”
200-300 million years ago, ESO 350-40 or the Cartwheel galaxy experienced a head-on collision that sent a shock wave through...
Why doesn’t Jupiter have bigger rings?
Due to its size, Jupiter should theoretically have even more specular rings than Saturn however research has shown that its massive moons are preventing this.
Players of video games could have enhanced brain activity through gaming
Players of video games show enhanced brain activity – potentially giving them useful life tools in perceptual decision-making.
Understanding pulsars: exploring the first exoplanet detections
A survey of 800 pulsars by Jodrell Bank over the last 50 years has revealed less than 0.5% of all known pulsars could host Earth-mass planets.
Hubble Space Telescope expands the search of the universe’s rarest galaxies
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released its largest near-infrared image ever taken enabling astronomers to map the origin of our universes rarest galaxies.
