Astronomy research and news Items for May 2024

 

Hi Folks

 

This month there seems to be a lot of physics and cosmology papers. Make sure to watch the video of a journey into a Black Hole and there is an interesting update on the search for an outer Ice giant too. My own research suggests that atmospheres on Earth sized world’s receiving an Earths like steller flux, where the Red dwarf star is smaller than 25% the mass of the Sun is extremely unlikely. The paper looking at Trappist 1 here seem to confirm that finding too.

 

I hope everyone managed to see the Auroura the past month too one of the biggest solar storms in some time. I managed to snap a few Smartphone photos but it clouded over here around 7:30pm that evening.

 

Until next month enjoy the reading.

Time to Name a Planet

In celebration of 100 years of the International Astronomical Union, the IAU NameExoWorld  global competition allows any country in the world to give a popular name to a selected exoplanet and its host star. New Zealand has been assigned the planet HD 137388b and its host star HD 137388 and we need your help in choosing names!  You can make a submission here between 1 September 2019 and 30 September 2019 (5:00 p.m. NZST). A panel of judges will select the name of the star and the planet by 30 October 2019 and will make its submission to the IAU by the 31 October 2019. IAU will make it’s final announcement in by 31 December 2019 . The winner will then be notified via email. Please note that entries can only be accepted from people living in NZ during the time of the submission.
