Orion’s Erupting Star System Reveals Its Secrets
FUor stars flare suddenly, erupting in brightness, before dimming again many years later. It is now understood that this brightening is due to the stars taking in energy from their surroundings via gravitational accretion, the main force that shapes stars and planets. However, how and why this happens remained a mystery—until now, thanks to astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
ASTRO ACCEL Announces Inaugural Cohort of Early Career Researchers
ASTRO ACCEL brings together researchers and practitioners in the domains of astronomy education, engagement, communication and culture to connect stakeholders and advance these areas of research, proudly unveils its inaugural cohort of eight early career researchers.
Teaching STEM Through Astronomy’s Lens
Astronomy programs can provide many advantages to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teachers and students. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific’s Project ASTRO is one stellar example of this. ASTRO partners professional and amateur astronomers with educators – who visit partner classrooms at least four times during the school year to conduct hands-on activities.
