Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday, October 18 at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern as Jackie Faherty from the American Museum of Natural History tells us about the JWST will enhance our understanding of low mass stars, and exoplanets.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a game changer for astronomy. However, the influence that this momentous telescope has varies on each subfield. One area of science that JWST will be particularly impactful is substellar astrophysics, or the study of objects that do not have stable hydrogen burning. Often called brown dwarfs, these objects do not have enough mass to ignite
Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday, November 15 at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern as Dr. Francis Halzen from the University of Wisconsin-Madison tells us about IceCube, a neutrino observatory located at the South Pole in Antarctica.
With funding from the National Science Foundation the IceCube project at the South Pole melted eighty-six holes over 1.5 miles deep in the Antarctic icecap to construct an enormous astronomical observatory. The experiment discovered a flux of neutrinos reaching us from the cosmos, with energies more than a million times those of neutrinos produced at accelerator laboratories. These cosmic neutrinos are astronomical messengers
