  1. Um estudo da Universidade de Estocolmo, publicado na Nature Astronomy, analisa como aglomerados estelares influenciam a dinâmica das galáxias. Usando dados dos telescópios James Webb e Hubble, a pesquisa investiga a interação entre radiação estelar e gás molecular.

  2. #Solar #prominences are huge, cool and dense structures suspended in the #corona. Some are also extremely long-lived: They are stable for weeks relying on constant replenishing of fresh material. A study published today in #NatureAstronomy explores their “supply logistics”: nature.com/articles/s41550-026

  4. #NatureAstronomy Insights from early life in the 3.45-Ga Kitty’s Gap Chert for the search for elusive life in the Universe nature.com/articles/s41550-025 "Most common forms of extraterrestrial life on a rocky planet will be similar to terrestrial chemotrophic organisms which are notoriously difficult to detect and identify. An extraterrestrial observer could probably have detected any biosignature for Earth only in the last 800 Myr, even though Earth has probably been inhabited since the Hadean (4.56–4.0 Ga)."

  5. #NatureAstronomy Lunar surface and subsurface water revealed by Chang’e-6 nature.com/articles/s41550-025 "The average water content of the exposed fine regolith of the shallow subsurface is ~76 ppm, which is lower than the surface abundance of ~105 ppm measured at the surface. The Chang’e-6 landing site also contains on average twice the water content than the Chang’e-5 one. Temporal variations of water content are observed at identical locations but different local times, exhibiting a minimum at local noon."

    Concentric shells of highly ionized calcium and sulfur in the ejecta of a type Ia supernova provide evidence of the double-detonation scenario for exploding sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs.

  8. 1/ 🔭 Massereiche Sterne haben oft einen Partner – sogar im jungen #Universum

    Eine neue Studie unter Leitung von Hugues Sana (KU Leuven), mit Beteiligung von Jaime Villaseñor (#MPIA), zeigt: Die meisten massereichen Sterne in der Kleinen Magellanschen Wolke #SMC besitzen einen engen Begleitstern.
