Fast radio burst: Astronomers spot most distant cosmic phenomenon detected so far in distant galaxy | Science & Tech News
admin
Astronomers have spotted the most distant fast radio burst (FRB) to date in a galaxy so far away that its light took eight billion years to reach Earth. The remote blast of cosmic radio waves, whose source was detected by the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), lasted less than a millisecond. It…

Planets floating in pairs without star to orbit found in distant nebula | Science & Tech News
admin
Scientists say they have discovered planet-like objects in a distant nebula unconnected to any star to orbit – and floating in pairs. Images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) show the Orion Nebula in the clearest detail yet, and researchers say closer investigations throw up a surprising phenomenon. Around 40 gassy “planets” have been…

Distant exoplanet K2-18 b ‘could have water ocean and signs of life’, scientists say | Science & Tech News
admin
NASA’s James Webb Telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world more than eight times the size of Earth. The ground-breaking discovery has led astronomers to consider the possibility that K2-18 b may belong to a unique class of exoplanets known as “Hycean” planets, which…
