New technique on finding oxygen could help find alien life
...look for light in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum. This will allow the telescope to look not only...help detect water vapour in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum to complement these studies. The James Webb Space Telescope...

Planetary nebulae may hold clue in search of helium-3
... transition of ionised 3He (represented as 3He+) and this transition can only be observed in the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum at the rest frequency of 8.665 GHz. Unfortunately, this transition is not very common, making the line very...

Puzzling new gas signatures found on Mars
... the surface, using the gases light signature (its spectra) which appears in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The new results, taken by the sensitive Atmospheric Chemistry Suite (ACS) instrument on TGO, shows that it is now...

Future space applications and their regulatory needs
... orbital debris. The near-Earth orbital domain is severely polluted with debris. We are quickly running out of electromagnetic spectrum, which is a finite and limited resource that we must learn to manage better in the face of tremendous pressure...

Does the speed of light change with time?
... from us, the light it emits gets stretched, so the light is seen as ‘shifted’ towards the red part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The more distant an object, the more it will be redshifted. This unexplained discovery was awarded the 2011...
