NASA hasconfirmed over 5,000 exoplanets, but the planets orbiting star HR 8799 are pretty special. A new time-lapse video shows their celestial dance over the course of 12 years. HR 8799’s planets are history-makers. In 2008, HR 8799 was thefirst system to have multiple planets directly imaged. Since then, Northwestern University astrophysicistJason Wanghas been using the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to monitor the exoplanets. That’s where the images for the time-lapse come from....

Mbari shared the ethereal videoof the torpedo-shaped creature this week. The ROV’s light system illuminated the fish, showing off its shimmery metallic appearance. Doc Ricketts was deployed from Mbari’s research vessel Western Flyer. The bronze-colored fish was cause for excitement due to its rarity. The fish only grows to about 6.5 inches (16.5 centimeters) in length. A2020 study highlighted the ultra-black lookof some of these fascinating fish.

Satellites don’t live forever. When their missions are over, some of them linger in orbit as space junk. The lucky ones fall back to Earth and are destroyed in the atmosphere. Researchers captured rare views of the satellite shortly before its fiery demise. Aeolus launched in 2018 with an instrument on board that measured Earth’s winds on a global scale. “These observations improved weather forecasts and climate models,“ESA said. The satellite spent nearly five years in orbit and came back down on July 28....
