This world is 972 light years away and was found using NASA’s TESS space satellite. A team of researchers within CATA participated in the investigation. A group of researchers discovered an exoplanet with the characteristics of an ultra-hot Neptune that provides new information about the characteristics of these types of worlds. James Jenkins, Principal Investigator …

In late 2019 the previously unremarkable galaxy SDSS1335+0728 suddenly started shining brighter than ever before. To understand why, astronomers have used data from several space and ground-based observatories, including the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), to track how the galaxy’s brightness has varied. In a study out today, they conclude that they …
The renowned Italian astrophysicist will appear this coming Friday the 7th of June at 6 pm, in the Auditorium of the Faculty of Social Sciences and History at UDP (Av.

10/05/24 “The sun goes through activity cycles that last 11 years, cycles we can predict, and so we know that the sun behaves in a way of low, high solar activity and then low solar activity again. In this cycle that began in 2019, we are reaching a peak of solar activity that began in …
Manuel Aravena – Emol May 9, 2024 Although we have built much of our astronomical knowledge through observations of “visible” light (that which we see with our eyes), this corresponds to only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Most of the radiation coming from the Universe cannot be seen with optical telescopes like Galileo’s, …
Last Thursday April the 11th, the Brazilian astronomer became the sixth graduate of the doctoral program taught by the Institute of Astrophysical Studies of the Diego Portales University. 04/18/2024 “An mm and near-IR study of YSOS: from outbursting protostars to satellites”, is the title of the doctoral thesis of Pedro Henrique Nogueira, whose supervising professors …
Erika Labbé – CNN Chile 09 / 04 / 2024 “This year in particular, this phenomenon is interesting because we are also at a maximum of solar activity, which means that its corona, its atmosphere, is larger, more active. There will probably be some incredible photographs of totality, where that corona will be clearly seen …
