Asteroid 2023 NY – no relation to the US state of New York – is set to pass Earth on Saturday. At 25 meters, it's around the size of over 35 chickens.
This method could revolutionize the way we discover extrasolar planets, especially those that are challenging to detect due to their distance, mass, or orientation relative to Earth.
In this puzzle you have to think "outside the box" to come up with a solution, since most surfers couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
The research has important implications for the potential habitability of planets beyond our solar system.
The researchers of the study combined geophysical and geodesic constraints from the Monte Carlo exploration with heat and energy simulations for different internal structures inside the Moon.
According to the study, the planet was likely similar in size and composition to our solar system's Neptune or Jupiter.
This exoplanet orbits a distant star about 670 light years away from Earth and boasts an average temperature of an astonishing 4,000 degrees Celsius.
While one might think metal-rich stars would be more likely to have planets with life, planets around metal-poor stars have better shielding to UV radiation.
Israeli-born scientist says study is the first step in determining whether there is life on planets beyond our solar system.
The traditional approach to this hypothetical scenario is to deflect the orbit of the incoming threat, but a scientist recently proposed an innovative approach.
