Astrophysicists and citizen scientists teamed up to find three possible exoplanets in the last data from the Kepler telescope -- as it was running out of fuel. (Two planets were confirmed.) https://go.nasa.gov/3MEFSkw #MondayMotivation: Follow @DoNASAScience and discover worlds! #NASAExoplanets
A team of astrophysicists and citizen scientists have identified what may be some of the last planets NASA’s retired Kepler space telescope observed during its nearly decade-long mission.
GRBs (gamma-ray bursts) produce the highest energy light in the universe from catastrophic star events. A recent burst was nicknamed the BOAT (for brightest of all time), the 7-minute blast may have been the brightest GRB in 10,000 years! https://go.nasa.gov/3X0q3tc #NASAExoplanets
Fifty years ago, on June 1, 1973, astronomers around the world were introduced to a powerful and perplexing new phenomenon called gamma-ray bursts, now seen somewhere in the sky about once a day on average.
