Direct link Equal Galaxies?

18 Sep 2018, 05:00 UTC The Milky Way galaxy and its nearest big neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, are like two children on a see-saw: They’re up and down. Both are giant spiral galaxies. Andromeda is about two-and-a-half million light-years away, in the constellation Andromeda. Under dark skies, it’s just visible as a hazy smudge of light — the farthest object that most people can see with their eyes alone.

15 Sep 2018, 05:00 UTC Antares is much more than just bright and beautiful. The orange heart of the scorpion is among the biggest and heaviest stars in the galaxy. And it’s the dominant member of a vast complex of stars, gas, and dust.

Direct link Gravity Assist: Sunspots and Solar Flares with Alex Young

11 Sep 2018, 17:06 UTC You’d think that because it rises and sets predictably every day, we’d know everything there is to know about our Sun. But that’s not the case. The Sun constantly outgasses the solar wind, but also periodically belches huge blobs of plasma, energetic particles, and magnetic fields that can wreak havoc on Earth’s communications networks and other electrical systems.

10 Sep 2018, 05:00 UTC Jules Janssen spent a lot of time in high places. The French astronomer viewed a solar eclipse from the Himalayas. He escaped from Paris in a hot air balloon. And he almost died while in the mountains of South America.

Direct link More Neptune

6 Sep 2018, 05:00 UTC Astronomers have been studying Neptune for only a bit more than one year — one Neptunian year. The planet takes 165 Earth years to orbit the Sun. But it was discovered just 172 years ago.

Direct link 70: Earth’s Magnetic field reversals could happen faster than thought - SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Series 21 Episode 70

5 Sep 2018, 13:21 UTC Earth’s Magnetic field reversals could happen faster than thought: A new study suggests that Earth’s geomagnetic field polarity reversals could occur overs the space of just two centuries – much faster than previously thought. New Horizons spots its next target Ultima Thule: NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has made its first detection of its next target, the Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 Ultima Thule. Space Station leak: There’s been an emergency aboard the International Space Station with atmosphere venting into space through a leak in the orbiting outpost.
