    Stem Cells Grown in Space Could Revolutionize Medicine Here on Earth
    Extended periods spent in microgravity can take a serious toll on the human body, leading to muscular atrophy, bone density loss, vision problems, and changes to the cardiovascular, endocrine, and nervous systems. At the same time, however, scientists have found that microgravity may play a key role in the future of medicine. This includes bioprinting in space, where cultured cells are printed out to form organic tissues and organs without the need for grafts. Printing in microgravity also ensur

    Magnetic Tornado is Stirring up the Haze at Jupiter’s Poles
    Jupiter is a stunning planet to observe. Whether it be visible light or any other wavelength. In a stunning new image released by the University of California -Berkley, Jupiter is seen in ultraviolet light. The familiar Great Red Spot appears as a blue oval as do many of the familiar belt features. Around the polar regions are revealed a brown haze which is thought to be caused by a high altitude vortex mixing up the atmosphere. The jury is still out on the mechanism behind this though but it ma

    “And now for something completely different”…om maar eens een beroemde Monty Python kreet van stal te halen. Effe een kort berichtje uit de praktische astrokeuken ter compensatie van al het zwaar theoretische “geweld” van de laatste tijd. Niets mis mee, hoor….ook leuk, maar, ook al zijn de weergoden weer ernstig herfstachtig weerbarstig, is het me […]
  • Mogelijk is de verklaring ontdekt voor de mysterieuze lange radio-uitbarsting

    Sterrenkundigen verbonden aan het International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) hebben mogelijk een verklaring gevonden voor de mysterieuze en zeldzame gebeurtenissen die bekend staan als ‘long-period radio transients’ – periodieke uitbarstingen in radiostraling die in tegenstelling tot de ‘Fast Radio Bursts’  (FRB’s) niet enkele milliseconden duren, maar wel 30 tot 60 seconden kunnen duren.

    China's FAST-telescoop ontdekt meer dan 1.000 pulsars
    China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), 's werelds grootste en meest gevoelige radiotelescoop, heeft meer dan 1.000 nieuwe pulsars geïdentificeerd. Het aantal nieuwe pulsars dat door de Chinese FAST telescoop is ontdekt, overtrof dat van alle buitenlandse telescopen samen in dezelfde periode, volgens de National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC). Pulsars, of snel draaiende neutronensterren, ontstaan uit de geïmplodeerd

    An Insanely High-Resolution Image of the Sun
    Our local star the Sun has been the source of many studies from ground based telescopes to space based observatories. The ESA Solar Orbiter has been approaching the Sun, capturing images along the way in unprecedented detail. It arrived at its halfway point in March last year and captured a series of 25 images. They have now been stitched together to reveal an astonishingly high resolution image. You can even zoom in to see individual granules in the solar photosphere.
