The chaotic cores of Perseus protostars
The formation of a star has a simple tale. A region of interstellar gas collapses under its own weight, eventually forming a dense protostar surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. The protostar and the disk rotate in the same plane, and often jets of.....»»
Paper suggests there could be captured planets in the Oort cloud
Our solar system has had a chaotic past. Earth and the other planets are now in stable orbits, but while they were forming they experienced drastic location shifts. Jupiter was likely much closer to the sun than it is now, and its shift not only shif.....»»
New nationwide modeling points to widespread racial disparities in urban heat stress
