One of the new high-resolution simulations of the dark matter enveloping the Milky Way and its neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The new study shows that earlier, failed attempts to find counterparts of the plane of satellites that surrounds the Milky Way in dark matter simulations was due to a lack of resolution.

Jupiter’s largest moon has a salty ocean that contains more water than on Earth

Forget holidays in the Mediterranean. If you want vast ocean views, Jupiter’s biggest moon Ganymede is the place to be. The moon is larger than Mercury and would be classed as a planet if it were orbiting the Sun rather than Jupiter.

💢 You can't stand on Uranus

If we ever manage to travel to the gas planets, you might be in for a bit of a shock when you step off the spaceship. That’s because Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune don’t have solid surfaces - they have a rocky core, but are mainly big balls of hydrogen and helium.

Even amateur astronomers can control the . From the day you get your first , you can expect 2 weeks of cloudy nights. Invite some friends over for meteor-spotting or watching, and you've just booked a rainstorm!

Source: I bought a nice new eyepiece.

Bonus: my 5yo wanted to get her telescope out. I said no, because it's overcast. Now she is mad at me, personally, for the weather.

Negative COVID test this morning, so I'm about to head up to Wolverhampton to give my last in person talk of 2022 for Wolverhampton AS, my History of Women in Astronomy Part 1 talk. So looking forward to catching up with my friends there :-)
