... generate a very strong magnetic field as it spun very rapidly. The production of the field then initiates an expanding bubble of high-energy particles that emits light as bright X-ray emission. Purposely watching the event alongside LIGO...
..., avoiding space debris while being wrapped up in a suit that feels like you’re padded from head to toe in bubble-wrap. Nor should it turn-back decades in the quest for equality; its just an unfortunate case of terrible...
... were covered by magmatic hotspots that extended from from near-equatorial to subpolar regions. As lava in the hotspots bubbled up to the surface, it caused widespread volcanic plains to form and the regional heat flow to decrease. This in turn...
... than previously thought. After analysing the ages of tens of millions of stars in a 6,500 light-year radius bubble around the Sun in order to understand star-forming events, researchers uncovered a striking coincidence; each time Sagittarius ...
... ionising effects of cosmic rays. But unfortunately for those who have ventured out beyond the protective bubble of Earth’s skies, cosmic rays can pass practically unimpeded through a typical spacecraft or the skin of an astronaut. To put...
