Twisted Physics: Astronomers Solve 30-Year-Old Stellar Mystery
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have captured the first direct, high-resolution images of a magnetic field wrapped tightly around the outflow of gas streaming away from a forming star — evidence that solves a decades-old puzzle about how young stars sculpt the powerful jets that form them.
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.
