    Solar Activity Affects Earth’s Spin and Length of Day

    As always, post is in beta mode (work in progress) The solar wind impacts the shape and behavior of the objects in our solar system. See Reference: Sunlight puts asteroids in a spin and Sunlight makes asteroids spin in strange ways Does it also impact Earth’s spin?

    The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is a NASA heliophysics mission scheduled for launch on April 29, 2025.  Falcon 9 will launch @NASA’s super cool Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), which will help researchers better understand the boundary of the heliosphere, a magnetic barrier surrounding our solar system → https://t.co/HfQaFt4l6Y pic.twitter.com/ORKeuZc1bK — SpaceX…

  • First Time Observed Gamma-Ray Emissions from Jets of Proto-Planetary Nebula ?

    Likely the first reported protoplanetary nebula IRAS 18443-0231 related to very high energy emission. Proto-Planetary Nebula: IRAS 18443-0231 It is considered as a proto-planetary nebula, which is a transitional phase between the late stages of a star’s life and the formation of a planetary nebula. https://twitter.com/AstroArxiv/status/1810886477481705855 Location IRAS 18443-0231 is located almost at the center…

  • Protoplanetary Disk Latest Findings 08 2024

    4. Formation of Organic Macromolecular Matter: Research suggests that the organic macromolecular matter found in meteorites could have formed in heavily irradiated zones in dust traps in planet-forming disks. 5. Viscous Circumbinary Protoplanetary Discs: Studies have shown the structure of the inner cavity in viscous circumbinary protoplanetary disks, providing insights into the formation and evolution…

  • IBEX Ribbon Study Questions

    Comparison of Theories Explaining the IBEX Ribbon 1. Retention Theory 2. Magnetic Mirroring Theory 3. Secondary ENA Emission Theory Summary Each theory offers valuable insights into the nature of the IBEX Ribbon, with the retention theory providing a comprehensive model, the magnetic mirroring theory offering simplicity, and the secondary ENA emission theory linking directly to solar wind interactions. However, each also has…

  • HH 48 NE Protoplanetary Disk Ices at High Disk Altitudes

    “To explain the presence of ices at high disk altitudes, we propose two possible scenarios: a disk wind that entrains sufficient amounts of dust, thus blocking part of the stellar UV radiation, or vertical mixing that cycles enough ices into the upper disk layers to balance ice photodesorption.” HH 48 NE is a protostar located…

  • The Watery Past of Asteroid Bennu is a Total Surprise

    Is Bennu from an ocean world? NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has revealed significant findings from the asteroid Bennu, particularly the discovery of magnesium-sodium phosphate in the samples returned to Earth. This discovery has several implications: Unexpected Mineral Composition: Implications for Bennu’s Origin: Astrobiological Significance: Broader Scientific Impact: Overall, the discovery of magnesium-sodium phosphate in Bennu’s samples…

  • Protoplanetary Disk Instability Around AB Aurigae (AB Aur)

    Overview AB Aurigae, commonly referred to as AB Aur, is a young star located in the constellation Auriga. It is a Herbig Ae/Be star, which means it is a pre-main-sequence star still in the process of formation. It has a stellar classification of A0Ve, matching an A-type main-sequence star with emission lines in the spectrum.…

  • Pristine Meteorites Give Insights Into the Early Solar System Dynamics

    Researchers investigated the composition of a pristine meteorite and discovered material similar to the outermost protoplanetary disk. This material likely originated in the comet-forming region. New Finding Contrary to previous beliefs, the isotope signature of the comet-forming region appears to be common among outer Solar System bodies. This finding sheds light on the formation and…
