37,000 trans-Neptunian objects, residents of the distant Kuiper Belt—nearly 10 times the current census—shedding light on Neptune's past migration and the outer solar system's history.
A new type of computer simulation predicts that the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile will discover millions of previously undetected objects in the solar system over the course of the coming decade.
A new study, published in Nature Nanotechnology and featured on the journal's front cover this month, has uncovered insights into the tiny structures that could take solar energy to the next level.
It’s the first end-to-end simulator for Rubin, meaning that it models expectations from simulated photons of light from distant sources to the expected science to come from those findings.
