James Webb Offers First Glimpse Into How Moons Are Built Around Distant Planets

The James Webb Space Telescope has provided scientists with their clearest picture yet of how moons might form around distant worlds. By using its remarkable mid-infrared spectrograph, the observatory identified that a cocktail of carbon-bearing molecules in a disk of gas and dust circling CT Cha b, a body that is 17 times heavier than Jupiter. Located 625 light-years away in the constellation Chamaeleon, CT Cha b orbits a young star two million years old. Researchers trust that this chemical-rich disk can contain the notable elements for building moons. Webb Unveils Carbon Chemistry in Distant Moon-Building Disk Around CT Cha b As per The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Webb telescope mapped out acetylene, benzene, carbon dioxide, ethane, hydrogen cyanide, and more. These elements are expected to accelerate the growth of moons. It is much likely to those orbiting Jupiter and Saturn in our own solar system. Lead researcher Sierra Grant mentioned the findings needed painstaking evalu...

Expedition 73 Astronauts Conduct Physics Experiments, Health Research, and Tech Tests on ISS

Aboard the International Space Station, the Expedition 73 Crew commenced the week with the Science hardware in focus. The crew then configured foam and material physics research gear. Significantly, they further installed a space technology demonstration to obtain the broader aspects. Also, the blood circulation studies became a part of the agenda, wherein the crew analyzed the perspectives. Lastly, they summed up the day by exploring the technicalities of the cargo operations. The crew began the week with some major configurations. Exploring the Modules and Understanding Configurations According to NASA, Mike Fincke and Jonny Kim, the Flight Engineers, gathered the essential hardware, swapped the power cables, and installed the foam Corsening shapes within the Fluid Science Laboratory. This investigation will explore the changes in foam over microgravity and how it will impact the food industries, both on Earth and in space. Tranquility Module Commenced by Mike Fincke, he then install...
