Ever since neutron stars were discovered, researchers have been using their unusual properties to probe our universe. But to accurately interpret some of the neutron stars’ signals, researchers must first understand what goes on inside them.

: On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong took one small step from his spindly spacecraft onto the surface of the moon half a century ago. Thus began a story that would revise science’s knowledge of our origins.

A lot has changed since Apollo, but our exploration of the moon, and even of the samples collected a half-century ago, continues.

("Who knows! We'll have to discuss! Categories are fluid things!" is a perfectly fine response to this btw- just want to know if this presents the contradiction I think it does as a layperson)

AP News - Two planets sharing same orbit around their star? Astronomers find strongest evidence yet

Question for ...

My understanding of the 2006 change in the IAU definition of (the one that excluded and other dwarf planets) was that it cleared out its orbit. If two planets share the same orbit, are they still planets under this definition, or are they something else?

The spectrum of light emitted by a star also reveals information about its chemical composition, as different elements emit light at different wavelengths. By studying the colors of stars, astronomers can learn about the physical conditions in their atmospheres and interiors, and understand more about the universe as a whole.

In between these two extremes are stars that are yellow, like our own Sun. The color of a star can also change over time as it ages and evolves. For example, a star may start off hot and blue, and then gradually cool and become redder as it evolves.

Hotter stars have temperatures of tens of thousands of kelvins and emit more blue and ultraviolet light. These stars appear blue or blue-white. On the other hand, cooler stars have temperatures of just a few thousand kelvins and emit more red and infrared light. These stars appear red or orange.

The color of a star is determined by its surface temperature. Stars are made up of hot gases, and the temperature of these gases determines what color the star appears to be. The temperature of a star is determined by its mass, age, and stage in its lifecycle.

Came across a thread on Twitter that asked the question “Why do stars have different colors?”

To answer simply: The color of a star is determined by its temperature. Hotter stars emit more blue light, while cooler ones give off red & orange hues. This is due to the way that different elements in a star's atmosphere emit light.

Have you ever wondered why the sunset on appears bluish? It's all because of the fine dust particles in the atmosphere. These particles scatter sunlight in a similar way to how 's atmosphere scatters sunlight to create a blue sky.

hey and peeps:

my bf and i are really into stargazing, certainly amateur. i’m considering getting him a telescope as a surprise but i have nowhere to start and have no idea what to be looking for. nothing too extravagant - just enough for two romantics to see the stars.

any pointers super appreciated!
