The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) initiative performed by NASA's Infrared Processing and Analysis Center found what was thought to be a single, common brown dwarf planet, which was called 2M 0939, short for 2MASS J09393548-2448279. There was nothing special about it and not much attention was paid to it &nda... |

The European Organization for Astronomical Research (ESO)'s Wide Field Imager (WFI) camera placed on the 2.2-m Max-Planck telescope from the La Silla observatory site, at an altitude of 2.4 km in the Chilean desert of Atacama, was able to obtain accurate photographs of one of the most massive binary star systems... |

Yet another reminder of the dangers to which the Earth is subjected every day has been brought to our attention by the Arecibo Radio Observatory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's LINEAR search program which discovered earlier this year an asteroid expected to make a fly-by around Earth sometime tod... |

It's not often that astronomers find asteroids made out of a single massive piece, but rather containing two or more objects loosely bound together or orbiting each other, tumbling through the immensity of space. The cause to this particularity remained a subject of debate for a long time, although now a new stu... |

SuWt 2 is a planetary nebula located in the Centaurus constellation about 6,500 light years away from Earth. It appears as a bright ring of gas with faint lobes perpendicular to the ring, thus giving it the rough look of an hourglass shape. The gas remnant is probably material ejected from a dead star which collapsed... |

Brown dwarf stars are the coldest class of failed stars in the universe, some of which weighing as little as 3 percent of the mass of the Sun, insufficient to start nuclear fusion reactions in their core, thus being unable to generate their own internal energy. Just like with gas giants, observations regarding the ma... |

Half a century ago a Japanese graduate student came with the idea of creating a revolutionary electrical circuit that would function on the basis of mechanical operations, opposite the electrical ones used today in digital computers. The device was called 'Parametron', but although computers based on these ... |

Previously it was believed that the material inside stars is mixed in a homogeneous and predictable way, bringing matter from deep inside the core to the surface and vice versa. However, predictions don't always turn out the way scientists want to. It now seems that increasing the spin rotation of a star renders... |

Astronomers from the Ohio State University reveal that they have discovered two new star systems which present particularities that associate them to a rare type of supernova. While studying a unique star system 13 million years away from Earth, hidden inside Holmberg IX, a small galaxy orbiting the M81 galaxy, resea... |

Remote controls were first developed during World War I by the German military to crash naval vessels into Allied ships, while World War II saw the arrival of the first bomb detonated with the help of a remote control. Both types were operating in the radio frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, however theoret... |

How Earth-like planets form around other planets is not quite known yet, albeit astronomers discover with each passing day that planets are forming in other distant star systems. According to a study presented last week, such a planet forming solar system seems to be forming around a series of stars located about 2,4... |

Math is always a pain in the behind if you're not particularly good at it, but it did give birth to some very interesting idioms so many are willing to turn a blind eye to the pain and horror of not getting the correct result just because of it. Perhaps not all that many, but hearing "it was harder than Chinese ... |

So, the nanotechnology managed to develop nanomaterials of nanoflakes, nanowires, nanorods... but what about the nanodisks? They must be useful at something! Researchers from Northeastern University agreed and, in order to demonstrate their use, they developed a method that uses nanodiks carved out of nanorods to en... |

Astronomers were able to observe for the first time the properties of a giant binary system consisting of the most massive stars ever found. The giant binary system is located 20,000 light years away near the centre of the Milky Way and consists of two extremely massive stars orbiting each other.The strange thing ab... |

Astronomers were able to observe for the first time the properties of a giant binary system consisting of the most massive and luminous types of stars in the Universe. Called LH54-425, the pair of stars orbiting each other is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.The Large Magell... |

Dwarf stars are known to astronomers for some time now, but never has an association of two dwarfs been of such great interest for the scientific community.A white dwarf is an astronomical object which is produced when a star of low or medium mass dies. These stars are not massive enough to generate the core tempe... |
