Several of the icy moons in the Jupiter and Saturn systems appear to possess internal liquid water oceans. Our knowledge of the Uranian moons is more limited but a future tour of the Uranus system has the potential to detect subsurface oceans. Planning for this requires an understanding of how the moons’ internal structures —
The sharp resolution of Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) brings into focus details of the Sombrero galaxy’s outer ring, providing insights into how the dust is distributed. This Webb image shows the Sombrero galaxy. Image credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI. The Sombrero galaxy is located approximately 28 million light-years away in the constellation
The Vikings played a preeminent role in the peopling of the North Atlantic, and one might expect populations that were founded by them to be genetically similar and homogeneous. New research suggests that the Icelandic and Faroese populations had distinguishably different founding fathers. The results are consistent with the scenario that the Faroese male population
The world’s thinnest spaghetti is just 372 nm across — about 200 times thinner than a human hair. Britton et al. used a scanning electron microscope, scanning the mat with a focused beam of electrons and creating an image based on the pattern of electrons that are deflected or knocked-off; each individual strand is too
Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) have captured a zoomed-in image of the dust-enshrouded red supergiant star WOH G64.
