Hubble to Watch Historic Venus Transit, Using Moon as Mirror - 2 views

"Scientists are planning to use NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to observe next month's historic transit of Venus across the sun's face. But there's a twist. Researchers can't point Hubble anywhere near the sun, because our star's bright light could damage the telescope's super-sensitive instruments. So Hubble will watch the June 5-6 Venus transit by using the moon as a mirror."

A few years ago we did not even know if there was any planets outside the solar system. Now we know some of the stuff that happens on them. Wonder how long it takes until we discover life somewhere else!

I do not know what is yetto come, but I am looking forward to the "starshade" Sara Seager's team wants to couple to a telescope: "The star shade and the telescope have to be aligned perfectly at 125,000 miles away. Once aligned, the system will observe a distant star, and then move to another distant star and re-align. This is technologically speaking, unchartered territory." http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=G68sqgRhP2E

Holmberg also hopes that other programmers will follow his lead and lend their coding skills to worthy projects. “Pick the species or concern you’re most passionate about, pick the researchers who are working on it, and identify their technical needs,” he said. “I’m not even a great programmer.

Two ways of measuring the universe's expansion rate yield two conflicting answers. Many point to the possibility of new physics at work, but a new analysis argues that unseen errors could be to blame. See also this work based on GAIA data that, on the other hand, reinforces the discrepancy: Milky Way Cepheid Standards for Measuring Cosmic Distances and Application to Gaia DR2: Implications for the Hubble Constant https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10655
