The newly-discovered isotope, plutonium-227, has a half-life of 0.78 seconds, according to a team of physicists from China. The region of the nuclear chart 87≤Z≤97 and 112≤N≤136 shows the new isotope plutonium-227 (red star) and the 12 nuclides (blue star) that were discovered at the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Oct 9, 2024 by News Staff. Astronomers using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) have investigated the Taurid resonant swarm, a large interplanetary system that contains comet 2P/Encke, several meteoroid streams, and possibly a number of near-Earth asteroids. This image taken by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope shows the comet 2P/Encke riding ...

Oct 2, 2024 · Long-Lost Myrrh Species Resurrected from 1,000-Year-Old Seed. Oct 8, 2024 by Natali Anderson. A team of biologists in Israel has grown an extinct — or at least extirpated — tree species of the myrrh genus Commiphora from an ancient seed found in the northern Judean Desert in the 1980s. Morphological features of Sheba at different ages: (a ...
Record-Breaking Fast Radio Burst Localized to Extremely
Jan 10, 2024 · FRB 20220610A was first detected on June 10, 2022, by the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope in Western Australia. ESO’s Very Large Telescope confirmed that the FRB came from a distant place. The FRB was four times more energetic than closer FRBs. “It required Hubble’s keen sharpness and sensitivity to ...

Oct 10, 2024 by News Staff. In a new study, astronomers compared high-resolution images of Uranus from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to the more-distant view from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft. Their results may serve as ‘ground-truth’ observations to use as a baseline to interpret exoplanet direct-imaging data from future ...
Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole is Spinning Very Rapidly, …
Feb 12, 2024 · Next ». Sagittarius A*, the 4.3-million-solar-mass black hole that resides at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, is spinning so quickly it is warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that can look like a football, according to an analysis of data gathered by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and NSF’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array.
Webb Measurements Shed New Light on ‘Hubble Tension’ Mystery
Mar 12, 2024 · Webb confirmed that the Hubble’s keen eye was right all along, erasing any lingering doubt about Hubble’s measurements. The bottom line is that the Hubble Tension between what happens in the nearby Universe compared to the early Universe’s expansion remains a nagging puzzle for cosmologists. “There may be something woven into the fabric ...
Webb Confirms Discovery of Four Galaxies in Early Universe
Dec 18, 2022 · Webb Confirms Discovery of Four Galaxies in Early Universe. The light from these four galaxies has taken more than 13.4 billion years to reach us, as they date back to less than 400 million years after the Big Bang, when the Universe was only 2% of its current age. Distant galaxies selected and confirmed by the JWST JADES program.
Star-Forming Galaxies Reionized Early Universe, Astronomers Say
Jun 12, 2023 · Star-Forming Galaxies Reionized Early Universe, Astronomers Say. Only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, the infant Universe was brimming with opaque hydrogen gas that trapped light at some wavelengths from stars and galaxies. Over the first billion years, the gas became fully transparent — allowing the light to travel freely.
