Scorpius X-1 is part of that strange collection . It’s actually a binary pair : a neutron star orbiting with a low-mass stellar companion called V818 Scorpii . The pair provides a prime target for

However , their results potentially indicate a much different origin . story âOur data show that about half of Earthâ s zinc inventory was delivered by material from the outer Solar System ,
The latest results from the HERA Collaboration suggest how the earliest galaxies in the Universe slowly dispelled the cosmic "Dark Ages."

Sutter Astronomers Prepare to Launch LuSEE Night , A Test Observatory on the Far Side of the Moon Astronomers have not yet been able to map large portions of the radio emissions from our universe because of interference from the Earth itself . A team of astronomers hopes to change that , beginning with the LuSEE Night mission to the far side of the Moon . It will launch in 2025 and chart a new pathway to Lunar . observatories The Earth is really loud in the radio , especially at frequencies below 20 megahertz . The ionosphere
