How did it all start?This image maps the cooler infrared emission from interstellar dust found throughout the interstellar medium. NASA/JPL-CaltechAs humanity has rolled in beyond into space, we have come to learn a great deal even more concerning the lifecycle of the solar system.From a collapsing cloud of gas into an all-new star to an...

Cosmic Rays – From Supernova Remnants and Pulsars – May Be the Secret to Understanding Galactic Dynamics

via GIPHYFast cosmic rays originating from supernova residues and pulsars most likely influence galactic dynamics and star development far more than previously recognized.Cosmic rays are charged subnuclear particles that move close to the speed of light, regularly raining down on the Earth. These particles are relativistic, as defined by Albert Einstein's special relativity, and...

Spacecraft in Sun’s Backyard Unravels the Origins of Interplanetary Dust

https://vimeo.com/601024128 Researchers working with data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe set up the most complete photo yet of the internal structure and behavior of the big cloud of space dust, referred to as the zodiacal cloud, that swirls throughout the solar system. They identified three dust populations in the cloud. A lot of the grains...
