Pure sulfur only forms under certain conditions on Earth, such as volcanic processes or in hot or cold springs. Depending on the process, different minerals are created at the same time as the sulfur.
A new type of stellar object has been discovered releasing energetic bursts of radio waves every 22 minutes. An unusual object has been releasing pulses of radio waves in space for decades ...
Yoshiokaite, a mineral formed as shocked crystal fragments in devitrified glass, was discovered in lunar regolith breccia collected from a trench by the Apollo 14 crew in 1971. Although there have been other minerals ( armalcolite and tranquillityite ) that have been originally discovered on the Moon, yoshiokaite is the first new mineral with ...
The object was discovered by a team using the WISE space telescope under the NEOWISE program on March 27, 2020. [1] It was classified as a comet on March 31 and named after NEOWISE on April 1. [5] It has the systematic designation C/2020 F3, indicating a non-periodic comet which was the third discovered in the second half of March 2020.
JADES-GS-z13-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-break galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) during NIRCam imaging for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) on 29 September 2022.
These minerals are found in high-grade metamorphic banded iron formation and form a compositional series between Mn 2 Mg 5 Si 8 O 22 (OH) 2 (tirodite) and Mn 2 Fe 5 Si 8 O 22 (OH) 2 (dannemorite). Calcium, sodium and potassium concentrations in cummingtonite are low. Cummingtonite tends toward more calcium substitution than related anthophyllite.
Discovered in 2017, some 48 light-years away, exoplanet LHS 1140 b was originally thought to be a mini-Neptune. But new research suggests that it’s actually a rocky super-Earth with possibly ...
On 5 February, at the full moon, the comet passed 1.5 degrees from the bright star Capella. [34] On 6 February, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) visually passed near comet C/2022 U2 (ATLAS). [ 35 ] On 10 to 11 February, the comet passed 1.5 degrees from Mars and, on 13 to 15 February, passed in front of the Hyades star cluster.
