Jupiter's moons could be warming each other
Updated : 5 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 11 (ANI): Jupiter's moons are hot. Well, hotter than they should be, for being so far from the Sun. In a process called tidal heating, gravitational tugs from Jupiter's moons and the planet itself stretch and squish the moons enough to warm them. As a result, some

Black hole bends light back on itself
Updated : 5 years, 11 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], April 9 (ANI): You may have heard that nothing escapes the gravitational grasp of a black hole, not even light. This is true in the immediate vicinity of a black hole, but a bit farther out -- in disks of material that swirl around some black holes -- light can escape.
