Astronomy and Planetary Science Thread

It looks as if it is bluring where the line falls between a Jupiter sized planet and a failed Brown Dwarf star.

Sort of, remember that the 13 Jupiter mass threshold for a Brown-dwarf is that is how much mass is required for sustained Deuterium fusion (69 Jupiter masses for sustained Lithium fusion). I remember reading in an astronomy text many years ago that astronomers calculated that initially Jupiter was about twice its' current diameter when it formed but it then rapidly contracted.
 
This may hinge on what ignites first.

A very large star's heat might keep a companion brown dwarf fluffy--that would ordinarily be massive enough to become a star in its own right.

O/T
Any small black hole near a galactic core BH could intercept any fast orbiting matter that gets between the two gravity wells and shoot it out at high speed should the gravity of the two bodies cancel each other out

There is more and more openness towards companion bodies being responsible for odd events, even if one of the two bodies is no longer visible.

I wonder what else is possible.

In a new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a galaxy named for its resemblance to a broad-brimmed Mexican hat appears more like an archery target. In Webb’s mid-infrared view of the Sombrero galaxy, also known as Messier 104 (M104), the signature, glowing core seen in visible-light...

Earth's Temporary Mini-Moon Might Not Have Been What We Thought

"Our spectroscopic results on the surface composition of 2024 PT5 are not conclusive due to the lack of a near-infrared reflectance spectra, but they are suggestive of a Lunar origin," the team wrote in their new paper. "We confirm that 2024 PT5 is a natural object with a visible spectrum consistent with that of an Sv-type asteroid, although it could also be classified as a Lunar mare breccia."

In short, our mini-moon could be a piece of the actual Moon moon, flung off into space following an impact event, now going on its own journey around the Solar System. Don't despair – while it is gone for a while, it is currently predicted to make a return close approach in 2055, two close approaches in 2084, and one in 2085. Before this, it will make another relatively close approach in January 2025, when NASA will reportedly make radar observations of our former mini-moon.

Scott Manley has put out a video about how digital telescopes transformed amateur astronomy:


I recently got loaned a Unistellar Odyssey Pro digital telescope, this is a compact telescope for amateur astronomers which uses on board image accumulation to reveal deep sky objects like Nebula in ways a traditional purely optical telescope cannot. I had a few hours to play with this, mostly limited by the absolutely terrible weather that rolled into the area, no doubt a result of 'New Telescope Curse', and I'm extraordinarily impressed with the capabilities, and intrigued by the possibilities of working on real astronomical research.

Huge Water Oceans Might Be Lurking Deep Within Uranus And Neptune

Uranus and Neptune were only visited once by human spacecraft when Voyager 2 passed by them almost 40 years ago. During those visits, scientists measured peculiar magnetic fields unlike those seen around other planets. A recent paper suggests that the Uranus measurements might have been messed up by the Sun, but in general, it has been difficult to explain the behavior. New research suggests that the magnetic weirdness might be due to oceans below the atmosphere.

Giant planets tend to have gassy layers on the outside, liquid layers down below, and a solid core at their center. Burkhard Militzer from the University of California Berkeley has created a computer model to try and explain the magnetic field. It suggests that below the atmosphere of the planets, there is water, methane, and ammonia.

Interesting theory about both Uranus and Neptune having water oceans deep within them, that is another reason to send a space probe to both planets immediately.
 
The "Mantles" of Uranus and Neptune are believed to consist of Hydrogen "Ices" - Ammonia, Methane and Water forming a high-pressure, high-temperature dense semi-liquid surrounding a small rocky metallic core.
 
Five days ago Scott Manley uploaded this video about the ESA's upcoming LISA space-telescope:


The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna - LISA is a set of 3 spacecraft which will work together to make a massive gravitational wave telescope in deep space, with arms millions of kilometers long it will be able to detect events at much lower frequencies, meaning we can detect black hole mergers months ahead of the event, and entirely new phenomena involving supermassive black holes.
Click to expand...
The LISA spacecraft at there core use free flying gold cubes as reference masses for the telescope arms, and managing these so that they remain in free fall is a core capability that was so critical to the success of the mission that they launched the LISA Pathfinder mission to test the technologies needed for the final mission to prove that the system would maintain the levels of control required for good science.

A short video about what the Solar system was like 3.8 billion years ago:


Our Solar System formed 4.6 billion years ago. 3.8 billion years ago, it was relatively young. All the planets possibly had acquired stable orbits by that time. However, they appeared a lot different than they do today!

Mapping ripples in a cosmic ocean: New gravitational wave maps reveal hidden black holes and cosmic structure

An international study led by Australian astronomers has created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date. The study also produced the largest ever galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and found further evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves: invisible yet incredibly fast ripples in space that can help unlock some major mysteries of the universe.
Click to expand...

…

Using the pulsar timing array, the researchers constructed a highly detailed gravitational wave map, improving upon existing methods. This map revealed an intriguing anomaly - an unexpected hotspot in the signal that suggests a possible directional bias.

“The presence of a hotspot could suggest a distinct gravitational wave source, such as a pair of black holes billions of times the mass of our Sun," said Miss Nathan. "Looking at the layout and patterns of gravitational waves shows us how our Universe exists today and contains signals from as far back as the Big Bang. There's more work to do to determine the significance of the hotspot we found, but this an exciting step forward for our field."

Some more amazing photographs of Jupiter from the Juno space-probe:


NASA's Juno spacecraft orbits Jupiter at 43,000 kilometers, capturing high-resolution images. Adaptive optics compensate for atmospheric distortion, enabling the observation of Jupiter's distinct atmospheric bands and powerful magnetic field. Juno's data reveals jet streams reaching speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour, the massive Great Red Spot (diameter ~16,000 kilometers), and an internal structure consisting primarily of rock and metallic hydrogen.
Click to expand...
Juno's observations proves data into Jupiter's atmospheric composition: 90% hydrogen, 10% helium, with trace amounts of methane (0.0001%), ammonia (0.002%), and water vapor (less than 0.0005%). The planet's mass (1.898 × 10^27 kilograms) aids in understanding element distribution during solar system formation. Juno also tested the gravitational lensing, bending light rays due to Jupiter's immense gravity. This effect potentially reveals hidden structures within our solar system.

☄️ Asteroid #C0WEPC5 (temporary designation) entered Earth's atmosphere at 16:15 UTC/17:15 CET, creating a fireball over Yakutia witnessed by people in the region.

The object was discovered roughly 12 hours ago and is thought to have been around 70 cm across.

Close approach of asteroid 2020 XR

Asteroid 2020 XR will safely fly past Earth on 4 December 2024 at 05:26 UTC (06:26 CET). It is between 300 and 700 m across and will pass just under six times the distance from Earth to the Moon.

When astronomers discovered 2020 XR, exactly four years ago, they briefly thought it had a small chance of colliding with Earth in 2028. But by looking back at older observations of the sky, they spotted the asteroid in existing data and used this additional information to more accurately calculate its orbit around the Sun and rule out any chance of Earth impact for at least the next 100 years.

Massive asteroid impacts did not change Earth’s climate in the long term

The rocks, both several miles wide, hit Earth about 25,000 years apart, leaving the 60-mile (100km) Popigai crater in Siberia, Russia, and the 25-55 mile (40-85km) crater in the Chesapeake Bay, in the United States - the fourth and fifth largest known asteroid craters on Earth.

The new study, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, found no evidence of a lasting shift in climate in the 150,000 years that followed the impacts.

The researchers inferred the past climate by looking at isotopes (atom types) in the fossils of tiny, shelled organisms that lived in the sea or on the seafloor at the time. The pattern of isotopes reflects how warm the waters were when the organisms were alive.
