@konstructivizm Black Hole

Astronomers have discovered possible evidence of a triple black hole system by analyzing a gravitational wave signal. This system is being studied after a black hole merger event, which showed an anomalous acceleration that could be explained by the presence of a third black hole. The discovery provides new insights into these complex cosmic systems.

"For decades Uranus has been the odd one out among the giant planets: it appeared to radiate almost no internal heat making it seem colder and more inert than its distance from the Sun would suggest. Data from Voyager 2s 1986 flyby indicated that the planet was in near-perfect energy balance (or even slightly losing heat) which set it apart from the vigorously warm Jupiter Saturn and even farther-out 2025 two independent research teams finally resolved the mystery. By reanalyzing eight decades of observationsfrom ground-based telescopes to Hubble and Spitzerthey showed that Uranus actually"

"New JWST images of Saturn. Processed by Melina Thvenot Planets are cooler and dont glow in visible light. They partially reflect the visible light from their parent stars but dont emit their own visible light. Some of the light from the parent star is absorbed by the planet and re-emitted back to space at infrared wavelengths. Interestingly they are brightest and shine at infrared wavelengths. Also many molecules emit brightly at many specific infrared wavelengths and also absorb light at specific infrared wavelengths. So infrared observing is great for studying planets not just ones in our"
