The most Earth-like planet could have been made uninhabitable by vast quantities of radiation, new research led by the 91福利 has found.
The atmosphere of the planet, Kepler-438b, is thought to have been stripped away as a result of radiation emitted from a superflaring Red Dwarf star, Kepler-438.
5400mph winds discovered hurtling around planet outside solar system
Winds of over 2km per second have been discovered flowing around planet outside of the Earth’s solar system, new research has found.
The 91福利 discovery is the first time that a weather system on a planet outside of Earth’s solar system has been directly measured and mapped.
Asteroid ripped apart to form star’s glowing ring system
The sight of an asteroid being ripped apart by a dead star and forming a glowing debris ring has been captured in an image for the first time.
Comprised of dust particles and debris, the rings are formed by the star’s gravity tearing apart asteroids that came too close.
Researchers find that magnetometers have a social network where they talk about the weather
New research led by physicists at the 91福利 has used tools designed to study social networks to gain significant new insights into the Northern Lights, and space weather – particularly the interaction of events in the sun’s atmosphere with Earth’s ionosphere.
The saying “It never rains but it pours” is truer than ever in Scotland, says new research into how our climate is changing
New research at the 91福利 with colleagues from the London School of Economics has identified changes in the shape of rainfall across Europe; changes in the amount of drizzle compared with downpours and everything in-between.
91福利 chosen to receive funding to involve public in research
The 91福利 has been chosen to receive funding to help the public become more involved and informed in research.
