Beautiful storms, complicated light, galactic vastness, a wave of antibiotics…

A few kicked-out electrons, two shaken stars, a strange body and the power of shadow.
Με την αποθήκευση και χρήση ατόμων αντιύλης, το πείραμα ALPHA στο CERN ανοίγει νέους δρόμους – An unpublished article about the ALPHA antimatter experiment.
A visible black hole, lost-and-found matter, baby planets.
So many things happened during this bombshell month that I don’t know where to start. Black hole photos, fast radio bursts, antineutrinos, gravity, clocks, orbits…
Do neutrinos and antineutrinos behave in exactly the same way? Enter T2K.
In last month’s news a black hole photobombs an asteroid, a hundred new mini planets are revealed and we still don’t know what dark matter is.
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs to friends, are one great recent astrophysical mystery. Another mystery, this time in the subatomic world, is the slightly different behaviour between matter and antimatter. Finally, dust devils.
In an impressive move, an experiment showed that there is actually a gradual transition between different quantum states – only that we hadn’t looked closely enough to see it.
Starting with short space news, a second exoplanet seems to have been discovered orbiting Alpha Centauri. And another one at a hundred light-years away is the first exoplanet found to have similar conditions to earth’s.
