What is the Event Horizon Telescope?
—The Event Horizon Telescope is a network of radio telescopes acting as one giant telescope, used to capture images of supermassive black holes and their magnetic fields.
How are supernovas captured in real time?
—Astronomers use telescopes to observe and study supernovas as they occur, capturing data on their behavior and evolution.
What are the science goals for the Artemis 3 mission?
—The science goals for the Artemis 3 mission include lunar environment monitoring, analyzing volatiles in lunar regolith, and exploring the potential for lunar agriculture.
What are ancient streams of stars?
—Ancient streams of stars are groups of stars that formed billions of years ago and now make up part of the Milky Way galaxy. Gaia has discovered two such streams.
What are the implications of Gaia's discovery of ancient streams of stars?
—The discovery of ancient streams of stars helps astronomers understand the formation and evolution of the Milky Way galaxy.
