This week Canada announced it will contribute to the European Space Agency鈥檚 Ariel mission. A first mission of its kind, the Ariel space telescope will launch in 2029 to study the atmospheres of distant exoplanets outside of our solar system. Up to 12 Canadian astronomers, including 缅北强奸 experts, will be at the front row of the mission, with privileged access to its data.聽()

New detections of radio waves from a repeating fast radio burst have revealed an astonishingly potent magnetic field in the source鈥檚 environment, indicating that it is situated near a massive black hole or within a nebula of unprecedented power.
The findings by an international team of astronomers, including Victoria Kaspi and Shriharsh Tendulkar of 缅北强奸, appear in the January 11 edition of Nature and are highlighted on the cover of the journal.

A Canadian effort to build one of the most innovative radio telescopes in the world will open the universe to a new dimension of scientific study. The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, today installed the final piece of this new radio telescope, which will act as a time machine allowing scientists to create a three-dimensional map of the universe extending deep into space and time.

Astronomers have pinpointed for the first time the home galaxy of a Fast Radio Burst, moving scientists a step closer to detecting what causes these powerful but fleeting pulses of radio waves. FRBs, which last just a few thousandths of a second, have puzzled astrophysicists since their discovery a decade ago.

"Usually, the stars at the centers of galaxy clusters are old and dead, essentially fossils," said Tracy Webb of 缅北强奸, Montreal, Canada, lead author of a new paper on the findings accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. "But we think the giant galaxy at the center of this cluster is furiously making new stars after merging with a smaller galaxy."
