The Pentagon has made a statement concerning the launch of a satellite by Russia that is believed to be following an American satellite in the same orbit. According to a Netherland’s based satellite tracker, the Russian satellite is mirroring the satellite from the US. According to US General James H. Dickerson, that is not responsible […]
astronomy
Taming Gravity is all about the possibility through science and technology to harness gravity. If we accomplish this we will then have the means to travel to the stars.
Of course, to do this we will need to know a little bit about astronomy.
So, here at Taming Gravity we include inspiring news and breakthroughs happening in the field of astronomy.
Amalthea: Jupiter’s unusual inner moon
Amalthea is a mysterious and irregularly shaped inner moon of the planet Jupiter. It was actually the first one that was discovered after the four Galilean moons were found, and is currently the fifth largest. Amalthea is Jupiter’s third moon and takes just 12 hours to make a full orbit around. Amalthea was found on […]
30 exocomets found orbiting star in nearby planetary system
There have been 30 exocomets found in the solar system that are orbiting the star called Beta Pictoris. This star was found 40 years ago and is surrounded by a debris disk that is made from gas and dust. Beta Pictoris is just 20 million years old which is very young when it comes to […]
Hubble Find Provides Key to Early Supermassive Black Holes
Hubble is one of the greatest sources of our cosmic knowledge. This powerful telescope is enabling us to spot different object and landscape on distant celestial bodies, giving us better understanding of mechanisms that govern the space. One of the newest pieces of information could potentially shed some new light of the creation of black […]
New stunning images show the James Webb Space Telescope’s fully aligned optics
NASA has just announced that they have finally finished the optics alignment on the 10 billion dollar James Webb Space Telescope. This is a huge step when it comes to having an observatory that is infrared and fully functioning. The agency talked about how the observatory will be capable of capturing well focused images with […]
Saturn’s weird moon Titan looks a bit like Earth, and scientists might finally know why
Titan is a moon on Saturn that looks a little bit like Earth and scientists have finally gotten a hypothesis as to why. When it comes to Titan, instead of having a majority of water like Earth, they are made of liquid methane. The theory that the scientists came up with is that sintering, wind […]
International Astronomical Union launches new center to fight satellite megaconstellation threat
In response to the threat of satellite mega-constellations, the IAU has launched the Center for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference. Observatories are seeing their work threatened by satellite interference, which is now a bigger problem than urban light pollution. Soon there will be over 5,000 satellites above the […]
Epsilon Algorithms to Search for Life as We Don’t Know It to Cosmic Ruins at Milky Way’s Edge (The Galaxy Report)
There is a new strategy that a few people at the California Institute of Technology are trying to implement to make it much easier for us to possibly detect life outside our system. This is called an Epsilon machine. Another possibility is that the James Webb telescope will give us some sort of insight of […]
Predicting the Cosmos: AI Algorithms for Advanced Astronomical Research
Introduction to AI in Astronomy The Intersection of AI and Astronomy Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an indispensable tool in the field of astronomy, revolutionizing the way researchers analyze and interpret vast amounts of data. The integration of AI into astronomical research allows scientists to sift through enormous datasets generated by sky surveys and […]
We Have The First Direct Evidence of a White Dwarf Violently Ripping Apart a Planet
A white dwarf has finally been observed devouring a planet. This scientific feat was achieved by studying x-ray light emitted from a white dwarf, and this x-ray light formed as a result of a planet colliding into the white dwarf. Past observations of the atmospheres of white dwarves were conducted using spectroscopic analysis, which involves […]
