Kepler When Kepler established the first theory and three principles of our solar system he could describe the movement of the planets around the sun but he could not explain why these planets would not vanish in the void around the solar system. He assumed magnetic fields to be the tether to hold our planets…

Citation: “Additionally, we find that roughly one percent weaker superhorizon gravity can somewhat ease the Hubble and clustering tensions in a range of cosmological observations, although at the expense of spoiling fits to the baryonic acoustic oscillation…

James Web Telescope discovered atmospheric gases. 55 Canceri e is 41 light years away from earth. Dayside temperature is 2200 Celsius. Furhter research required into the conditions that make it possible for such a hot rocky planet to sustain a gas-rich atmosphere. One such condition could be magnet fields. Researchers: Renyu Hu, Aaron Bello-Arufe, Michael…

https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02892 Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have identified an exhaust vent attached to a “chimney” of hot gas near the center of our Milky Way galaxy. This chimney and exhaust vent are located around the supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short).  Researchers: Scott C. Mackey, Mark R. Morris, Gabriele Ponti, Konstantina Anastasopoulou, Samaresh Mondal The authors…
