Between 1786 and 1797, Caroline Herschel discovered *8* comets!
We should cheer extra loud for Caroline b/c we gotta imagine that her mom probably never did...
To learn more about Caroline (and briefly about her mom) & comets, check out this week's episode here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/asterism-caroline-herschel-and-comets/

A double cosmic explosion could be the first known ‘#superkilonova’
The blast may have come from a collision of tiny #neutronstars forged in a #supernova
#Astronomers have spotted a distant #star that seems to have exploded twice. U.S.-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or #LIGO, and the Virgo detector in Italy detected ripples in spacetime coming from a pair of neutron stars merging about 1.8 billion light-years away.

#Astronomers Were Looking for a #Planet, but They Didn't Expect This One

The #EpsilonIndi #starsystem is already pretty weird, but this surprising new planet just made it even weirder.

To this end, they collected almost 300 hours of observational data to map the distribution of molecular gas in the #Whirlpool #Galaxy.
With this study, the #astronomers want to investigate the processes by which #stars form in the various zones of this galaxy. They also want to learn something about the mechanisms that produce stars in a similar way in the #Milky Way 2/2 -
#BBC 📆 2021 In 📆 1992, two #astronomers 🔭 discovered the #KuiperBelt. In 📆 2016, two professors of #PlanetaryScience at #Caltech proposed a massive #planet 🪐, between five and 10 times the size of #Earth 🌏. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210216-the-massive-planet-scientists-cant-find
