8-years-old girl NICOLINHA from Brazil is officially the world's youngest Astronomer.

At just 8 years of age, the Brazilian girl is known as the world's youngest astronomer, looking of asteroids as part of a NASA-affiliated program, attending international seminars and meeting with her the country's top space and science figures. Oliveira's  room is filled with posters and solar system, star wars figures and miniature rockets. Nicolinha, as she is affectionately known, works on her computer studying images of the sky on 2 two large screens. With pride, Nicolinha told AFP she has already found 18 asteroids. If her finding are certified, which may take several years, Oliveira will become the youngest person in the world to officially e discover and asteroid, breaking the record of 18-years-old Italian Luigi sannino. She immediately sports points in the images that look like asteroids and often advisors her classmates when they a r not sure they have really e found any.  Said Heliomarzio Rodrigues Moreira, oliveira's astronomy teacher private school in the ...

Astronomers find two hidden galaxies at the edge of space and time.

  Yoshinobu fudamoyo, an astronomer at the research institute for science and engineering at waseda University, japan, led the team that used the Atacama large millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) located in Chile to make the make the discovery. ALMA is an astronomical interferometer of 66 Radio telescopes and is capable of seeing through dusty environment and viewing incredibly large distances. The team stumbled across the two new galaxies when they were observing two Target galaxies named REBELS-12 and REBELS-29. The team noticed that thousands of light-years away from the target galaxies, there where bright emissions. This discovery led the team to pursue with follow-up observations that led to the discovery of two galaxies r name REBELS-12-2 and REBELS-29-2. These galaxies  were hidden behind a cloud of cosmic dust and aren't visible in UV and optical light. Researchers estimate that the newly discovered galaxies formed only 800 million years after the birth of the univer...

Stephen Hawking's theory about black holes may have been proven right.

  Turns out, black holes exert pressure on all space surrounding them. Hawking had predicted that black holes emit radiation in 1974, implying that the objects have temperature. In addition, Hawking claimed that black holes slowly shrink over time if no accumulation of gases (accretion) takes place.   Scientists from the University of Sussex - Professor Xavier Calmet and Folkert Kuipers published their findings in Physical Review D. The researchers were probing the event horizon (a black hole's boundary) of a black hole when they made the startling discovery.  They were looking an entropy at the event horizon of the black hole, which is essentially the chaos embedded into any physical object and its progression from calm to mayhem.  While reading the calculations, the scientists kept running into an additional figure which they couldn't explain. It took them months to figure out that it was actually caused by pressure around the black hole.   This pres...

Astronomers detected light behind a black hole.

  Astronomers have detected light behind a blackhole for the first time. A black hole is formed from the death of a star with such a high gravitational field that the matter gets squeezed in. Observed deep in the universe, researchers spotted bright X-Ray flares emerging from a super massive blackhole at the centre of another galaxy, which is nearly 800 million light-years away. The new detection is like to change our understanding of the biggest villian in the universe that can suck planets and stars, defying gravitational forces. The research published in the journal Nature reported the observations of x-ray flares emitted from around the supermassive black hole and its acceleration disk. It is already known that the black hole's extreme gravitational field redirects and distorts light coming from different parts of the disk. Detecting light behind a black hole. The light was detected by coincidence when researchers were studying the feature know as the corona. It is a form of x-...

Web results Water vapour detected on huge Jupiter moon Ganymede for 1st time

Astronomers have uncovered the first evidence of water vapour in the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Ganymede using Hubble space telescope.   NASAs Hubble Telescope reveals first evidence for water vapour in Jupiters moon Ganymede. According to the study published in the journal Nature Astronomy on Monday, the water vapour forms when ice from the moon's surface turns from solid to gas. Previous studies have offered circumstantial evidence that Ganymede,  contains more water than all of Earth's oceans, NASA said. However, temperatures there are so cold that water on the surface is frozen solid, according to the US space agency. Ganymede's ocean would reside roughly 160 kilometres below the crust, therefore, the water vapour would not represent the evaporation of this ocean.  Astronomers re-examined Hubble observations from the last two decades to find this evidence of water vapour. In 1998, Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph took the first ultraviolet (UV) im...

Stephen Hawking’s Theory Was Right. New Study Confirms Black Holes Do Not Shrink Over Time

In the black hole area theorem that he proposed in 1971, Hawking had suggested that it was impossible for a black hole to decreases in size over a period of time. Outer space is filled with mysteries and while researchers have come a long way in their efforts to know more about the universe beyond the earth, there is still a lot to explore. One such topic of mystery that has always fascinated and  intrigued scientists and enthusiasts is the existence of black hole in the universe. The large region in the space that don't even allow light to pass through it has the gravitational pull that can pull anything inside if  it comes around its range even our milky way galaxy reportedly has the presence of  black hole that makes it research it even more important. One of the most celebrated physicist  in history Stephen Hawking had conducted various research in his career in a bid to understand outer space and black holes in the black hole area theorem that he proposed in 197...
