Stars in the making pictured in images ‘no one has ever seen before’ as astronomers build ‘space atlas’ | Science & Tech News
admin
Astronomers have pieced together more than one million pictures showing never before seen objects in space in an attempt to decipher how stars are born. A vast “space atlas” of five stellar nurseries – showing young stars in the making, embedded in thick clouds of dust – was captured by the European Southern Observatory (ESO)…

It’s time to explore reflecting sunlight back into space to tackle climate crisis, says UN | Climate News
admin
Global efforts to tackle climate change are currently insufficient, meaning it is time to explore technologies to reflect sunlight hitting the Earth back into space, a UN report has said. With efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions “not on track to meet the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal”, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: “Climate change…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finds signs of ‘building blocks for life’ in icy clouds | Science & Tech News
admin
Molecular species that form the “building blocks for life” have been found in a deep space region of icy clouds. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers and scientists confirmed the presence of methane and ethanol, as well as small compounds with nitrogen and sulphur. On Earth, sources of methane include emissions…
