New Lunar Samples Challenge the "Late Heavy Bombardment" Results are coming out from the samples returned by China’s Chang’e-6 sample return mission to the far side of the Moon. They offer our first close-up look at the geology and history of the far side, and a recent paper published in Science Advances from researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has very interesting insights about the impact history of the Moon itself, and even some for the solar system at large.

Near-infrared Hubble images reveal dust disks around stars HD 141569 and HR 4796A. Gaps in these disks, similar to Saturn's rings, suggest the presence of unseen orbiting planets. The image includes a scale showing the diameter of Neptune's orbit for comparison. The bright starlight has been blocked to enhance visibility of the faint dust features.

Distant Galaxy Has Similar Icy Dust to the Milky Way. So, Similar Planets? For most of us, dust is just something we have to clean up. For astronomers, interstellar dust is a hindrance when they want to study distant objects. However, recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)...

Infrared image of the Beta Pictoris planetary system. The image shows the star's dusty debris disk and the giant planet Beta Pictoris b at two different positions in its orbit (October 2003 & November 2009), captured by the European Southern Observatory telescopes. The planet's orbit is roughly the size of Saturn's orbit around our Sun.
