Analysis of the wind speed and direction revealed that the cloud is moving at a different speed from its host star, confirming that it is bound to an external secondary object.
A Sun-type star situated nearly 3,000 light-years from Earth has provided astronomers with a unique opportunity to observe an unusual after-effect of a planetary system’s evolution. When this star, ...
The ESIS-II mission aims to capture high-speed “snapshot” images of the Sun’s transition region and corona. To achieve this, the instrument utilizes a slitless spectrograph design that requires ...
Astronomers suspect that a massive metallic cloud swirling in a nearby star system could be hiding a giant planet or dwarf star from view, after it drastically dimmed a sun-like star for around nine ...

A bold new era in astronomy is on the horizon. By 2029, Schmidt Sciences, the philanthropic foundation founded by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Wendy Schmidt, plans to launch Lazuli, the ...
Abstract: Two-dimensional microshutter arrays (MSAs) are being developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for use as a programmable aperture mask for ...
To get audio from your TV to your soundbar or receiver you either need an HDMI cable or an optical cable. Both can work, but for certain types of audio you'll need an HDMI cable. Fortunately, both ...
Optical techniques are methods that use light to probe or control matter. One prominent example is optical spectroscopy, which includes such methods as pump–probe spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and ...
Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
