Unraveling the Secrets of Star-Eating Phenomena : S27E46
Dive into the cosmic deep end with SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 46, where we're deciphering the ripples in spacetime from a potential neutron star and black hole merger. Detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, this gravitational wave event, catalogued as GW 230529, might represent the elusive mass gap where the heaviest neutron stars and lightest black holes converge. Situated some 450 million light-years away, this cosmic collision challenges our understanding of stellar evolution and the final fates of massive stars.
The episode doesn't stop there; we're also exploring the cannibalistic tendencies of stars. A new study has unveiled that stars, much like the mythological Kronos, often devour their own planetary offspring. This stellar infanticide, observed in about 8% of binary systems, suggests a more tumultuous life for stars and planets than previously thought.
Meanwhile, the recent North American solar eclipse brought more than just awe-inspiring views; it was a goldmine for scientists. As the moon's shadow swept across the continent, NASA seized the opportunity with rockets, jets, and drones to probe the effects of this celestial alignment on Earth's atmosphere and gather data to better understand the sun's corona and its influence on technology.
