Astronomers obtained new #JWST data on TRAPPIST-1 b, the #planet in the system closest to its #star.

New observations offer insights into how a star can affect observations of #exoplanets in the habitable zone of cool #stars.

Thwre were no signs of an atmosphere around TRAPPIST-1 b. This tells that the planet could be a bare rock, have uniform clouds or a dense atmosphere that makes it too small to detect.

There are about a trillion #galaxies in the observable #universe.

Each has, on average, about 100 billion #stars.

And there is, on average, at least one #planet per #star.

If only 1% of those #planets sustain #habitable conditions, there are 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 planets that could host life.

That is 10²¹ habitable worlds in the small corner of the universe that we can observe.

#DidYouKnow:A #Binary #Star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other.

Examples of binaries are Sirius, and Cygnus X-1 (Cygnus X-1 being a well-known black hole). Binary stars are also common as the nuclei of many planetary nebulae, and are the progenitors of both novae and type Ia supernovae.

New #JWST data of K2-18 b, an #exoplanet 8.6 times as massive as Earth, has revealed the presence of carbon-bearing molecules including methane and carbon dioxide.

This discovery suggests that K2-18 b could be a #Hycean exoplanet, one which has the potential to possess a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a water ocean-covered surface.

K2-18 b orbits the cool dwarf #star K2-18 in the habitable zone and lies 120 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo.

Astronomers have spotted the formation of one or more #planets around a star 5000 light-years away.

They discovered lumps of dust 3­–10 times as massive as Earth nestled in a series of spiral arms around the #star.

When the lumps become massive enough, they will have sufficient gravitational attraction to rapidly absorb gas from their surroundings.

This way of forming planets has long been hypothesized, but evidence has been lacking until now.

This is the kind of dream #photography that many would like to #shoot. This #picture from Petr Horálek taken in the #Maldives last February shows the #MilkyWay over a beach, with a #meteor passing by.

From the photographer: “Deep in the Indian Ocean, an emerald can be found. Not large, but truly natural and full of plants island called Thoddoo, Maldives. Proud locals produce their own fruit and vegetable, welcome the tourists with wide-open arms, and show them the importance of the true relationship to the natural heritage of the island, such as endangered turtles and other species. Unfortunately, the island itself is a source of light pollution and so it is not easy to find a good spot for stargazing. I was lucky to find one, from where I saw all the natural lights of the night. The rising Milky Way followed the captivating light of the bioluminescent plankton while a small meteor appeared in the sky, close to the Gegenschein. Even if the tourist ship turned on its bright light in the distance, still remember the best of the dark skies there.”

The goal of Texas's #Death #Star bill is simple:

The deeply conservative Texas Legislature wants to effectively deny cities—the state’s large Democratic-leaning cities, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin in particular—the ability to pass local laws and regulations in eight major policy areas: agriculture, business and commerce, finance, insurance, labor, natural resource law, occupational law, and property law.

Death Star does not aim to affirmatively lay out regulations at the state level; it simply attempts to thwart local regulations. Thus, the entirely of the provision that denies local governments the ability to regulate the insurance industry is just this:

“Unless expressly authorized by another statute, a municipality or county may not adopt, enforce, or maintain an ordinance, order, or rule regulating conduct in a field of regulation that is occupied by a provision of this code. An ordinance, order, or rule that violates this section is void, unenforceable, and inconsistent with this code.”

“Basically, it’s the greatest transfer of power away from the public and into the hands of a few people in Austin that we’ve ever seen,” said Texas state Rep. John Bryant.

“This handful of people that want to control our state do not want cities acting in their own interests. They do not want any city making policies that get in the way of their ideological and financial objectives.”

Life around an ill-tempered red dwarf #star is no fun for accompanying newborn #planets.

Entangled magnetic fields cause a red dwarf to spit out "super-flares" that are 100 to 1000 times more powerful than similar flares seen on our Sun.

That is coupled with blistering #ultraviolet radiation requiring any of the star system's inhabitants to use "Sunscreen 5,000."

One of the nearest and most violent examples is AU Microscopii.

It's long-sleeved with a zipper front that goes down to my clavicle.

It's a blend that wicks sweat away from my body.

It keeps me warm as one of my layers in Winter. In Summer, my arms are covered, and it breathes.

A star that has sides made of different elements? The #whitedwarf #star, nicknamed #Janus, has one side composed entirely of hydrogen and the other made entirely of helium. Astronomers have previously detected evidence of white dwarf stars evolving from hydrogen to helium or vice versa but have never seen a star in the middle of such a change. The mechanism for that change is unclear but may be linked to the star's magnetic field.

The team has detected a cloud of debris that might be sharing this planet’s #orbit and which, they believe, could be the building blocks of a new planet or the remnants of one already formed.

If confirmed, this discovery would be the strongest evidence yet that two #exoplanets can share one orbit.

Good siblings share stuff, and ALMA may have just spotted that in the young planetary system PDS70! We know there are two planets there, and astronomers have found a cloud of debris that could be sharing its orbit with one of the planets. The cloud is in one of the so-called Lagrangian points, trapped by the joint pull of the #star and the #planet. In a few years we'll know if both objects indeed co-orbit around the star.

The #star cluster NGC 1850's size and shape are reminiscent of the many ancient globular star clusters which roam our #galaxy's halo. But the stars are all too young, making it a type of star cluster with no known counterpart.
