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 […]

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.
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 […]
Astronomers Find 70 Planets Without Stars Floating Free in the Milky Way
We have found over 70 planets that do not have a star to orbit. We are calling those rouge planets. One of the interesting things about them is that they are not orbiting anything. One issue with it not being close to a star is that it’s hard to get data from it because we […]
Things are getting tense for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, literally
The new James Webb Telescope is the biggest telescope yet. But it has had many problems and delays. At the end of 2021 it was finally released into space to explore the cosmos. Currently, it’s next plan is to unravel the sun shield. That is to protect it from the suns harmful rays. It was […]
Astronomers Have Detected a Mysterious, Dusty Object Erratically Dimming Its Star
At around 2300 light years away we are seeing a star that has been dimmed by almost 75 percent. We believe that it is an exoplanet or some asteroid. The only problem is that it is too random for it to be either of those. One hypotheses is that is is dust from a planet […]
Mysterious Dusty Object Discovered by Astronomers Using NASA’s TESS Planet Hunter
In 2018 The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite also known as TESS was launched into space to look for exoplanets. After some time it was found that it found a dusty object that is dimming the sun it is orbiting by 75 percent. We do not know for certain what it is, but there are some […]
This exoplanet has metal rain and 2,400C temperatures
Exoplanets are the term used to describe planets that orbit bodies other than our own sun. These celestial entities have temperatures that range to such phenomenal heights that the intense heat quite literally rips apart some of the molecules in their atmospheres. These uber-hot exoplanets are also sometimes called ultra-hot Jupiters, because they resemble the […]
Life on Mars search could be misled by false fossils
Searching for signs of life, whether current, or fossilized, has been a NASA mission for sometime now. Recently, data culled by expeditions to the planet Mars has proven problematic vis a vis this goal. The problem is that certain seemingly useful specimens found on the red planet may in fact not be fossils at all. […]
ISRO scientists discover star-planet bigger than Jupiter
Mount Abu, in India, is the site where a new exoplanet has been sighted. HD 82139 is the name of the exciting new discovery. More than 700 light years distant from our Earth, HD 82139 is huge. It’s mass is equal to 1.5 times the size of our own yellow dwarf star/sun. Data shows that […]
Exploring Alien Planets: New Cereal Box-Sized Spacecraft Has Mighty Goals
Looking for life on other planets and far away stars is an ambitious project, but it starts with smaller goals of exploring closer celestial bodies. With technological and scientific advancements, these more achievable tasks can be undertaken by organizations that are not necessarily as big as NASA. Many academic institutions entered this arena and their […]
