Astronomers discover water vapor on nearby alien planet
2014-02-26 17:11:44| Extremetech
The more advanced our space exploration technology becomes, the more radical things we find floating in the void of space. We've found a planet made of diamond, and a ones that have diamond rain. Astronomers have discovered that Mars once had falling snow, and that certain asteroids travel with their own moons. Now, astronomers have found that an alien planet has water vapor in its atmosphere, and it also happens to be one of the first exoplanets ever discovered.

Supernova explodes nearby in the Cigar Galaxy, but dont worry, were safe
2014-01-23 15:42:55| Extremetech
Yesterday morning, the world woke up to an exceedingly rare astronomical delight: A nearby star going supernova. Located in galaxy Messier 82 (M82, the Cigar Galaxy), just 11 million light years away, the supernova was first sighted by students at University College London on the night of January 21. It is the first supernova to be sighted from Earth in 20 years, and the first type Ia supernova in over 40 years, making this a particularly exciting time to be an astrophysicist. The supernova hasn't yet hit its peak and will get brighter over the next couple of weeks. Don't worry, though: Even at its peak, the supernova is far enough away that we don't need to worry about being bombarded with cosmic rays -- if the supernova was here in our own galaxy, it would be a different story entirely.
