Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

Chinese researchers say they’ve devised a new way to extract water from lunar soil and convert it into fuel. As detailed in a new paper published today in the journal Joule, the team found that their proposed “photothermal strategy” — essentially converting light into heat — could effectively convert carbon dioxide from extracted water into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen …

A strange fossil at the edge of the solar system just shook up Planet Nine theories

A strange fossil at the edge of the solar system just shook up Planet Nine theories

Subaru Telescope has made an exciting discovery: a small body beyond Pluto, with implications for the formation, evolution, and current structure of the outer Solar System. The object was found as part of the survey project FOSSIL (Formation of the Outer Solar System: An Icy Legacy), which takes advantage of the Subaru Telescope’s wide field of view. The object was …

When will the solar system end?

When will the solar system end?

Our solar system has been around for 4.6 billion years. While that sounds like a long time, it’s just a blip in the 13.8 billion-year story of the universe. And one day, the solar system will cease to exist. But when will the solar system end? And how will it die out? The answers to those questions depend on how …

In a cosmic first, astronomers spot the exact moment a new planet system is being born around an alien star

In a cosmic first, astronomers spot the exact moment a new planet system is being born around an alien star

For the first time ever, scientists have captured incredible images of an alien star system being born. The image shows the very earliest moments of planet formation, when hot minerals are just beginning to solidify around a distant star, according to a statement. The researchers published their findings July 16 in the journal Nature. Two telescopes worked together to reveal …

Astronomers see the birth of a new solar system for the first time

Astronomers see the birth of a new solar system for the first time

Astronomers caught a star system at the moment when solid grains began to form planets. This snapshot reveals how planets first start to form, just as Earth once did. The infant star HOPS-315 sits about 1,300 light-years, roughly 7.6 quadrillion miles, away in the constellation Orion. Around it whirls a disc of gas and dust where heat is high enough …

Astronomers discover strange solar system body dancing in sync with Neptune: ‘Like finding a hidden rhythm in a song’

Astronomers discover strange solar system body dancing in sync with Neptune: ‘Like finding a hidden rhythm in a song’

Astronomers have found that a weird space rock at the edge of the solar system is locked in a rhythmic dance with Neptune. The object, designated 2020 VN40, is part of a family of distant solar system objects called trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). 2020 VN40 is the first object discovered that orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune makes. …
