There are 130+ dwarf planets! They're the most common TYPE of planet. What do they all look like?? @NASANewHorizons showed us planet Pluto & Charon. Maybe an Interstellar Probe could fly by and reveal 1 more! Quaoar? Gonggong? interstellarprobe.jhuapl.edu @JHUAPL

Astronomers have tracked down the Milky Way's oldest stars; metal-poor with 1/1000th the iron of the Sun. Not only in the galactic halo or bulge as previously thought, many have been found right in the middle of the disk, with similar orbits as the Sun. astro3d.org.au/orbits-of-anci…
As stars burn hotter and hotter, they go from looking red to orange to yellow to white to blue... But why are there no green stars?👇 [1/4]
The story of phosphine on Venus gets stranger - looks like a possible error in the telescope’s processing pipeline may have affected the results. This was an unusual observation, and so it’s plausible things may have gone awry. Interesting times...

A reanalysis of the #phosphine measurement finds no significant detection; will be interesting to see what experts (& a journal referee) make of this.
Isn't it just a little bit satisfying that the mass of the Sun is M~10^30 kg, while the mass of an electron is m~10^–30 (or 1/M) kg? (roughly).
The mountains discovered on Pluto during the New Horizons spacecraft's flyby of the dwarf planet in 2015 are covered by a blanket of methane ice, creating bright deposits strikingly like the snow-capped mountain chains of Earth. 🏔 go.nasa.gov/3nWILQv

Here's a view of the famous Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) located 1,375 light-years away under the first star in Orion's belt. This is a color-composite made from images acquired with Hubble in wide-band infrared in Oct.-Nov. 2012. (PI Z. Levay). In optical light it appears dark.
