The Vera Rubin Has Found Two More of the Milky Way's Dim Satellites

The Vera Rubin Observatory has detected two more of the Milky Ways' dim, hard to see satellites. One is an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy, and one is a globular cluster. Each one is a missing piece of the puzzle in the Milky Way's merger history. By finding more of these satellites, our understanding of galaxy growth, and the role dark matter plays in it, will improve.

Queen's University Belfast students find Neptune's elusive Trojan asteroids

An international team led by researchers at Queen's University Belfast has made a discovery that has eluded astronomers for decades. Beginning in 1906, telescope observations revealed a population of asteroids leading and trailing Jupiter, which came to be known as the "Trojan" and "Greek" populations. Since then, astronomers have discovered similar "families" orbiting Saturn and Uranus, but not Neptune. Thanks to the Queen's-led team, the mystery of the missing Trojans has now been resolved.

Chinese writing developed square forms gradually, shaped by language, tools and tradition, analysis suggests

A new historical analysis challenges the received wisdom as to why Chinese characters developed their distinctive square shapes. The work, published in the International Journal of Arts and Technology, argues that their shape resulted from interacting linguistic, technological and cultural factors rather than a single cause.

Climate change is making the tropics hotter

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events. The paper, "Shifting climate in Caribbean tropical forests: Long-term trends at La Selva (Costa Rica) and El Verde (Puerto Rico)," is published in PLOS Climate.

Ceres' water ice can mask massive surface salt deposits

The dwarf planet Ceres is arguably one of the most overlooked and underappreciated planetary objects in the solar system. This could be because while Ceres has the same dwarf planet designation as Pluto, Ceres is largely considered an "asteroid" since it resides in the main asteroid belt. However, along with being the largest object in the main asteroid belt, Ceres accounts for between 25% and 30% of the belt's total mass.
