An ancient astronomy book donated to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)
may contain an undiscovered text underneath the current one. The book also
includes a famous work by Nicolaus Copernicus, who postulated that the sun, not
the Earth, is the center of the solar system. Students at RIT will attempt to
decipher the erased... Continue Reading →

THE SOUL NEBULA



The Soul Nebula in HRGB The Soul Nebula, also known as Westerhout 5 (W5) amongst
other names. Located in the constellation Cassiopeia, this celestial body is a

Astronomers have discovered a new object in the Milky Way that is heavier than
neutron stars but lighter than black holes. The discovery could allow for
testing of Einstein's general relativity and shed light on the nature of black
holes. The object was found using the MeerKAT Radio Telescope and is located
around 40,000 light... Continue Reading →

Astronomers have (accidentally) discovered a galaxy called J0613+52 that appears
to be devoid of stars. The galaxy is made almost entirely of gas and dark matter
and is isolated, shedding light on galaxy formation. They spotted it because of
a typo! [Scientific American]

THE RISING INFLUENCE OF PRIVATE SPACE



Private space companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are
revolutionizing space exploration with innovations like reusable rockets and
ambitious goals for interplanetary travel. These advancements are reshaping the
industry, creating opportunities for more competitors and contributing to job
creation. Exciting developments are expected in the near future, bringing us
closer to the stars as new tourist destinations.

A recent paper explores the hypothesis that life on Earth originated from
extraterrestrial sources brought by interstellar objects (ISOs), such as the
asteroid 'Oumuamua detected in 2017, and finds that up to 100 million exoplanets
could have harboured life but, according to the paper's author, they believed it
is unlikely to have sparked life on... Continue Reading →

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized exoplanet with a hemisphere of molten
lava and another hemisphere perpetually in darkness. Another paper describes the
discovery of a small, cold exoplanet with a massive outer companion. The
Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is helping identify these planets
and gather more information about them. [Ars Technica]

THE PACMAN NEBULA



NGC 281 is more fondly known as the Pacman Nebula. In normal wavelengths this
image resembles(ish) the ghost-gobbling Pacman, but here I'm using narrowband
SHO data so things are slightly different. SHO Pacman Nebula (NGC 281) The
centre of this bright emission region glows blue and green because of the
dominant Oxygen and Hydrogen respectively.... Continue Reading →
