Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet with a tail, like a gigantic comet. The planet, known as WASP-69b, is slowly evaporating in the radiation of its host star.WASP-69b is a gas giant that orbits very close to its host star, meaning it’s a kind of planet often called a Hot Jupiter.

The intense…

Traditional ramjet engines work by relying on the aircraft’s speed to scoop up and compress…

Welcome to this month’s random selection of “things I’ve really loved”. There’s a full video version further down the page and I do highly recommend you watch it if you’ve a spare ten or so minutes. It gives you an extended ramble about each of the bits and pieces I’m about to talk about whilst also bringing them alive in full technicolor and Doby surround sound.
