Mysterious Linear Features Discovered on One of Saturn’s Moons

Saturn’s moons are a hodgepodge of misfits. Iapetus looks like the Death Star from Star Wars. Tiny Pan resembles a cosmic empanada. And now something appears to be etching oddly straight lines across the icy surface of Dione. The lines – or linear virgae, to use the proposed technical term – stretch for up to hundreds of kilometers, and yet are less than 5 kilometers wide. They … Continue reading

Scientists Suggest Life Might Exist on Closest Exoplanet to Earth

The findings could be good news for astronomers who still know very little about the planetary companion of Proxima Centauri, a small red-dwarf star located 4.2 light-years from the sun. US scientists have found that the exoplanet Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the closest star to the sun, may harbor living organisms thanks to enormous seas of liquid water on … Continue reading

Hellish Planet So Hot Even Metal Evaporates

The extrasolar planet known as Kelt-9b is so hot that its atmosphere contains vaporized iron and titanium. The hellish world, which is situated 650 light years away in the constellation Cygnus, is 30 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the Sun and sees surface temperatures exceeding 4,000C. The planet was recently observed by a team of … Continue reading
