Citando:
"A new study has found that almost nine in 10 planets similar to Earth that orbit two distant stars could harbour life.

Around half of all solar systems are believed to be made up of planets such as this - known as binaries.

Now, a study of a theoretical twin of our planet has convinced scientists that aliens "really are out there"."

Velocidade de expansão do universo?

Citando:
"The other method for establishing the Hubble constant has involved astronomers looking at the rippling pattern of light, called the cosmic microwave background, that formed just after the big bang birth of the cosmos 13.8bn years ago. This background has been surveyed with increasing precision by US and European satellites – most recently by the European Space Agency’s Planck observatory – and these observations have allowed scientists to build a model that takes account of dark energy and dark matter and that shows how the early universe’s growth would probably have produced an expansion that astronomers can measure today."

Estrela sai de Via Láctea?

Citando:
"Astronomers have spotted a star heading out of the Milky Way at more than 6m km/h (3.7m mph), or 1,700km per second, after an encounter with the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.

The star is moving so fast that in about 100m years it will exit the Milky Way and spend the rest of its life sailing alone through intergalactic space. Although it was predicted 30 years ago that black holes could fling stars out of the galaxy at phenomenal speeds, it is the first time that such an event has been recorded."

Citando:
"Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have paid tribute to the photographer behind some of The Beatles most famous album covers, who has died aged 82.

Robert Freeman helped define the band's image, especially with the 1963 cover for With The Beatles - their second album.

The black and white picture featured simple head shots of the Fab Four in part shadow.

It was also used for the 1964 US album Meet The Beatles!"

A tempestade de Júpiter pela Juno

Citando:
"According to the space agency, citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill used readings captured by the Juno spacecraft to create the striking image. Juno’s on-board imaging technology recorded the data while traveling some 5,300 miles (8,500 kilometers) over the clouds on November 3, 2019.

While the planet, a gas giant, is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, NASA says that scientists suspect that some of the strange coloring in the storm clouds could come from sulfur or phosphorus gases that originate within Jupiter."

O clitóris e a reprodução?

Citando:
"A feminist case was powerfully made by philosopher Elisabeth Lloyd in The Case of the Female Orgasm. When we seek to characterise sexual pleasure in women as an aid to fertility, we are turning it into an adaptive mechanism, any pleasure a by-product to the service of the species.

We are also being androcentric, taking the male reproductive journey (have orgasm; produce sperm; make baby) and trying to find its mirror in the female (have orgasm; grab sperm; make baby). If you want to explore female sexuality meaningfully, you have to see it as its own terrain, in which pleasure quite possibly exists for its own sake, irrespective of such a mechanism being absent in men."

Voyager 2 e a heliosfera

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/nov/04/nasa-voyager-2-sends-back-first-signal-from-interstellar-space

Citando:
"The second set of measurements, by Voyager 2, give new insights into the nature of the heliosphere’s limits because on Voyager 1 a crucial instrument designed to directly measure the properties of plasma had broken in 1980.

Measurements published in five separate papers in Nature Astronomy reveal that Voyager 2 encountered a much sharper, thinner heliosphere boundary than Voyager 1. This could be due to Voyager 1 crossing during a solar maximum (activity is currently at a low) or the craft itself might have crossed through on a less perpendicular trajectory that meant it ended up spending longer at the edge."
