Biggest marsquake was five times larger than previous record-holder
Late on the Earth night of May 4, or Sol 1222 on Mars, the seismometer aboard NASA's InSight Mars Lander detected a quake on the Red Planet, with reverberations lasting many hours. The marsquake was at least five times as large as the next largest qu.....»»
Astronomers investigate chemical composition of multiple stellar populations in NGC 2808
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have inspected the globular cluster NGC 2808. Results of the study, published December 2 on the arXiv pre-print repository, shed more light on the chemical compo.....»»
Hubble captures dual views of an unusual star cluster
While these two images may look dazzlingly different, they are actually pictures of the same cosmic object: NGC 1850. Although the same Hubble instrument took both images, different filters with different assigned colors were used to study particular.....»»
