SOFIA saw a twisted magnetic field around a protobinary star system--a very young binary star system that is still growing. This provides a hint about how the protobinary system came to be. The findings were published in Geophysical Research Letters.

Key Points: 
  • COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --Twisted magnetic fields around binary systems can reveal how the stellar system came together.
  • Circumbinary planets planets that orbit around two stars, like the fictional Star Wars planet Tatooine and its two suns exist in the Universe, and are sometimes referred to as Tatooine planets.
  • SOFIA saw a twisted magnetic field around a protobinary star system--a very young binary star system that is still growing.
  • Being able to see these magnetic fields helps decipher the formation of binary systems and, in turn, their associated Tatooine planets.

Key Points: 
  • New findings from a study using fruit flies on the International Space Station suggest that space travel has an impact on the central nervous system, but that artificial gravity provides partial protection against those changes.
  • This study was one of the first of its kind to take an integrated approach to how the space environment impacts the nervous system.
  • However, using artificial gravity can provide temporary relief to the difficulties that microgravity in space causes on the nervous system of a fruit fly, even if there are still long-term health complications.
  • "If we can use artificial gravity to delay space-related deficits, maybe we can extend the future mission timelines.
