astrophysicist

With his passing on Tuesday, India lost one of its most celebrated astrophysicists.

The astrophysicist, who was speaking to BBC News NI, is currently in the US for pre-assignment training and is undergoing rigorous spacewalk training.

Others have raised similar concerns, with astrophysicist Dr Megan Argo saying the increase in satellites is "making it increasingly difficult to study the universe outside our own atmosphere".

Although astrophysicists have been able to calculate very precisely that the universe is made up of 26.8% dark matter, its true characteristics remain elusive.

It’s an out-there idea, said Benjamin Bromley, a University of Utah astrophysicist who led a study on the possibilities for lunar dust and who concedes he’s ventured out of his lane.
