The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has observed a record-breaking ultra-fast-rotating asteroid. The space rock is the fastest-spinning asteroid larger than 500 meters (0.3 miles) to have ever been observed ...
A neutron star designated PSR J1748-2446ad completes 716 full rotations every second, making it the fastest-spinning stellar ...
Way out there in the asteroid belt is an object that's spinning so fast, scientists are surprised it hasn't flown apart. Reading time 3 minutes Researchers have identified 19 super- and ...
Astronomers analyzing data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered the fastest-ever spinning asteroid with a diameter over half a kilometer—a feat uniquely enabled by Rubin. The study provides ...
The telescope's view of a portion of the Virgo Cluster is bombarded by asteroids, captured as tricolored streaks. Credit: RubinObs / NOIRLab / SLAC / NSF / DOE / AURA A new telescope in Chile has ...
To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...
