Hot New Planetary System Just Dropped.

We hope you like your planetary systems extra spicy. 🔥

A new system of seven sizzling planets has been discovered using data from our retired Kepler space telescope.

Named Kepler-385, it’s part of a new catalog of planet candidates and multi-planet systems discovered using Kepler.

The discovery helps illustrate that multi-planetary systems have more circular orbits around the host star than systems with only one or two planets.

Our Kepler mission is responsible for the discovery of the most known exoplanets to date. The space telescope’s observations ended in 2018, but its data continues to paint a more detailed picture of our galaxy today.

Here are a few more things to know about Kepler-385:

All seven planets are between the size of Earth and Neptune.

Its star is 10% larger and 5% hotter than our Sun.

This system is one of over 700 that Kepler’s data has revealed.

The planets’ orbits have been represented in sound.

Now that you’ve heard a little about this planetary system, get acquainted with more exoplanets and why we want to explore them.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

space nerds and enthusiasts, it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for

(or at least- the moment I’VE been waiting for since jwst imaged jupiter)

the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam has imaged Saturn for the first time, and it’s SO COOL!!

above are the two processed images, the lower having the visible moons and rings labeled, but there’s also some unprocessed images from jwst feed, which i think still look super cool, and just show what a world of a difference processing makes.

i think these images are SO cool, and i can’t wait to print them out to hang on my walls :)

Hmmm…..

Look. I’m not saying it’s real but the fact that the Solis Magna system just happens to resemble Nebula PK 329-02.2 is interesting to me.

Okay.

Make of it what you will.

I don’t study or know anything about astronomy, admittedly.

I just stumbled across this fact thanks to some old BZPower posts.

(Somebody NEEDS to mention this on BioSector01 btw for the Solis Magna system article)

A colony of hot, young stars is stirring up the cosmic scene in this new picture from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The image shows the Orion nebula, a happening place where stars are born.

Comet NEOWISE rising over the Earth just before dawn as seen from the International Space Station. ☄️

—

C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) or Comet NEOWISE is a long period comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered on 27 March 2020 by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope.

THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE CRUSHES ALL -- WHEN TWO GALAXIES COLLIDE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a Hubble image of NGC 7714, a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth.⁣ 🔭+📸: ESA (European Space Agency) & NASA⁣.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth — a relatively close neighbour in cosmic terms.

The galaxy has witnessed some violent and dramatic events in its recent past. Tell-tale signs of this brutality can be seen in NGC 7714's strangely shaped arms, and in the smoky golden haze that stretches out from the galactic centre — caused by an ongoing merger with its smaller galactic companion NGC 7715..."

-- ESA HUBBLE, "Hubble image of NGC 7714," first published in 2015

JWST recently released a raw image of Saturn, which looks incredible. But it also means that its gas giant collection is complete!!

Bask in their gaseous glory and Webb's stellar performance!

#GOD the Webbster just never fails to disappoint <33 #Saturn lookin like it was accidentally saved as a transparent PNG #Gotta love it #spacecraft #jwst #jwst images #james webb space telescope #space #space telescope

Is it just me or science is beyond magic lately?

Like imagine trying to tell someone from back in the day that we crafted a gigantic golden mirror that can see as an eye and put it up next to the moon so we can look back into the past to see the creation of the world

Am i just suppose to continue living like this is normal?

Inner Ring of Galaxy NGC 1097

This galaxy is located 45 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Fornax. Eris has captured the gaseous, dusty ring that sits right in the center of the galaxy.

The bright spots on the ring are stellar nurseries. This image was captured through four different filters by Eris' state-of-the-art infrared imager, the Near Infrared Camera System, or NIX, which will replace the Naco imager used until now.

To put Nix's resolution into perspective, this image details a patch of sky less than 0.03% the size of the full moon.
