Exoplanet Orbiting Its Distant Sun

A Black Hole Destroys a Star (Illustration). A disk of hot gas swirls around a black hole in this illustration. Some of the gas came from a star that was pulled apart by the black hole, forming the long stream of hot gas on the right, feeding into the disk. These events are formally known as tidal disruption events, or TDEs. It can take just a matter or weeks or months from the destruction of the star to the formation of the disk. The gas gets hotter the closer it gets to the black hole, but the hottest material can be found above the black hole. This hottest material is cloud of plasma (gas atoms with their electrons stripped away) known as a corona. Most TDEs that result in the formation of a corona also produce jets of material that spew into space away from the black hole at its poles. A TDE called AT2021ehb is the first confirmed example of a corona forming without jets in a tidal disruption event. The observation of AT2021ehb makes it possible for scientists to study the formatio

Just in time for the release of the movie Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens,” NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has photographed what looks like a cosmic, double-bladed lightsaber. In the center of the image, partially obscured by a dark, Jedi-like cloak of dust, a newborn star shoots twin jets out into space as a sort of birth announcement to the universe. Science fiction has been an inspiration to generations of scientists and engineers, and the film series Star Wars is no exception,” said John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator for the NASA Science Mission directorate. There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe." This celestial lightsaber does not lie in a galaxy far, far away, but rather inside our home galaxy, the Milky Way. It’s inside a turbulent birthing ground for new stars known as the Orion B molecular cloud complex, lo

Magnetic Fields Around an Ultraluminous X-ray Source (Illustration). Two rivers of hot gas are siphoned onto the surface of a neutron star (the collapsed remains of a dead star) in this illustration. Neutron stars pack roughly the mass of our Sun into an area about 10 miles (6 kilometers) across. The gravity at the neutron star's surface is about 100 trillion times stronger than the gravitational pull on Earth's surface. Under those conditions, the captured gas accelerates to millions of miles per hour, releasing tremendous energy and radiation when it hits the neutron star's surface. Because these sources of light emit primarily X-rays, they are known as ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), and are visible by telescopes like NASA's NuSTAR (the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array). The neutron star's twisted magnetic field lines are illustrated in green. Some scientists hypothesize that strong magnetic fields like the ones produced by neutron stars can distort the normal shape of ato
