Hubble has spent 35 years in orbit! Celebrate with an array of compelling images recently taken by Hubble: Mars, dramatic views of stellar birth and death, and a magnificent spiral galaxy: bit.ly/4jjsAs7

Ooh! NASA’s Lucy spacecraft flew by asteroid Donaldjohanson yesterday. They just released the images.

Look at that cool space potato! 🥔

Did you find the #StarWars world, Tatooine, and its companion stars impressive? Then check this! 😉

ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) has discovered the first planet that not only orbits a pair of stars but does so at an angle of 90 degrees.

Both stars are brown dwarfs, objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. When tracking their orbits, astronomers found that the orbits themselves change over time. After carefully ruling out other explanations, they concluded that the gravitational tug of a planet in a polar orbit was the only way to explain the motion of the brown dwarfs.

"Big surprise": astronomers find planet in perpendicular orbit around pair of stars

Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these ‘polar planets’ orbiting a stellar pair. The surprise discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).

@blataak Tahle strana řeky je poměrně nezajímavá…

…pro turisty. Takže se tam na spoustě míst dá skvěle najíst. V podstatě doporučuju zapadnout kamkoli, kde to jen trochu vypadá, že jedí místní.
