Antarctica losing six times more ice mass annually now than 40 years ago Posted: 14 Jan 2019 01:11 PM PST Antarctica experienced a sixfold increase in yearly ice mass loss between 1979 and 2017, according to a new study. Glaciologists additionally found that the accelerated melting caused global sea levels to rise more than half an inch during that time. |
New way supermassive black holes are 'fed' Posted: 14 Jan 2019 10:09 AM PST A new study finds that some supermassive black holes are 'triggered' to grow, suddenly devouring a large amount of gas in their surroundings. |
Double star system flips planet-forming disk into pole position Posted: 14 Jan 2019 08:42 AM PST Astronomers have found the first confirmed example of a double star system that has flipped its surrounding disc to a position that leaps over the orbital plane of those stars. |
The orderly chaos of black holes Posted: 14 Jan 2019 08:42 AM PST During the formation of a black hole a bright burst of very energetic light in the form of gamma-rays is produced, these events are called gamma-ray bursts. Researchers have built the POLAR instrument to analyze gamma-ray bursts. The first results of POLAR reveal that the high energy photons coming from gamma-ray bursts are neither completely chaotic, nor completely organized, but a mixture of the two. |
Upper-ocean warming is changing the global wave climate, making waves stronger Posted: 14 Jan 2019 05:28 AM PST Sea level rise puts coastal areas at the forefront of the impacts of climate change, but new research shows they face other climate-related threats as well. Scientists found that the energy of ocean waves has been growing globally, and they found a direct association between ocean warming and the increase in wave energy. |
