    Origin of minor planets’ rings revealed | Kobe University
    http://www.kobe-u.ac.jp/en/NEWS/research/2016_09_16_01.html

    A team of researchers has clarified the origin of the rings recently discovered around two minor planets known as centaurs, and their results
    suggest the existence of rings around other centaurs. These findings were published on August 29 in Astrophysical Journal Letters, and
    introduced in AAS Nova, a website for research highlights from the journals of the American Astronomical Society.

    The lead author of the paper is HYODO Ryuki (Kobe University Department of Planetology, Graduate School of Science), and co-authors are Professor
    Sébastien Charnoz (Institute de Physique du Globe/Université Paris Diderot), Project Associate Professor GENDA Hidenori (Earth-Life Science Institute,
    Tokyo Institute of Technology), and Professor OHTSUKI Keiji (Kobe University Department of Planetology, Graduate School of Science).

    Are Stellar Storms Bad News for M-Dwarf Planets?
    http://aasnova.org/2016/09/14/are-stellar-storms-bad-news-for-m-dwarf-planets/

    Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), enormous releases of energy from the Sun, can have significant space-weather implications for Earth. Do similar
    storms from smaller stars — M dwarfs like V374 Peg, or the nearby Proxima Centauri — mean bad news for the planets that these stars host?

    Most of Earth’s twins aren’t identical, or even close! – Starts With A Bang
    http://scienceblogs.com/...swithabang/2013/06/05/most-of-earths-twins-arent-identical-or-even-close/

    In fact, there are at minimum some 17 billion Earth-sized planets just in the disk of the Milky Way. But it takes a lot more than that to make a genuine twin of the Earth! Yes,
    we’ve taken some amazing steps forward in the past few years, but let’s not lose sight of the ultimate goal here: to find another planet that harbors some type of advanced life.

    YaleNews | Ch-ch-ch-changes in a distant quasar
    http://news.yale.edu/2016/09/15/ch-ch-ch-changes-distant-quasar

    Yale astronomers Grant Tremblay and Meredith Powell are part of the first research team to document a “changing look”
    quasar through a full cycle from dim to bright to dim again.

    Quasars are the extremely bright cores found in some galaxies, powered by supermassive black holes.
    Their brightness is believed to come from the hot material that falls into the black hole, a process called accretion.

    “Thirty years ago this supermassive black hole very dramatically brightened, becoming a Type 1 quasar,” Tremblay said.
    “We discovered this year that it has now dimmed again, making it the first such object to go ‘there and back again.’”

    Two research studies of the object — galaxy Markarian 1018 — will appear in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
    A portion of the data used in the studies comes from the Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS), a sampling of 40 nearby
    Active Galactic Nuclei. Yale is a founding member institution of the survey.

    Black Holes Are Nothing But Holograms, New Study Finds
    http://sci-techuniverse.blogspot.com/2016/09/black-holes-are-nothing-but-holograms.html

    A group of physicists led by Daniele Pranzetti from the Max Planck Institute for Theoretical Physics in Germany has now presented
    a new approximation for the amount of entropy existing in a black hole, and their calculations support this situation.

    The physicists were concentrating on the entropy - a physical property that encrypts how ordered, or disordered, something really is.
    According to Stephen Hawking, the entropy of a black hole must be relative to its area, but not its volume, and this notion is what
    encouraged the first thoughts about the probability of holographic black holes.

    Joanne Kennel explains for The Science Explorer, said "Although there is some consensus in the scientific community that black holes
    must have entropy or their existence would violate the second law of thermodynamics, no agreement has been reached about the origin
    of this entropy, or how to calculate its value,"

    Some Ancient Mars Lakes Came Long After Others
    http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/some-ancient-mars-lakes-came-long-after-others

    Lakes and snowmelt-fed streams on Mars formed much later than previously thought possible,
    according to new findings using data primarily from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

    The recently discovered lakes and streams appeared roughly a billion years after a well-documented, earlier era of wet conditions on ancient Mars.
    These results provide insight into the climate history of the Red Planet and suggest the surface conditions at this later time may also have been
    suitable for microbial life.

    Kamikaze galaxy explodes after diving into the Milky Way  | New Scientist
    https://www.newscientist.com/...le/2106019-kamikaze-galaxy-explodes-after-diving-into-the-milky-way/

    At least 50 galaxies orbit our own. The Hercules dwarf is currently 460,000 light years from Earth,
    nearly three times farther than the Milky Way’s brightest satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud.

    But Hercules’s stars spread over a great expanse of space, which suggests the Milky Way’s gravitational
    pull has yanked them away from one another.

    Now Andreas Küpper and Kathryn Johnston at Columbia University in New York and their colleagues have
    used the observed positions and velocities of the galaxy’s stars to deduce its path through space.

    “It’s plunging in from a really large distance to a really close distance,” Johnston says.

    The astronomers calculate that, at its farthest, the dim galaxy voyages 600,000 light years from
    the Milky Way’s centre. At its closest, though, it’s just 16,000 light years out.

    “That’s extreme,” Küpper says. It’s closer than any other satellite galaxy is known to come. It’s even
    closer than we are – the sun is 27,000 light years from the galactic centre.

    Arctic Sea Ice Annual Minimum Ties Second Lowest on Record
    http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/arctic-sea-ice-annual-minimum-ties-second-lowest-on-record

    The sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas helps regulate the planet’s temperature,
    influences the circulation of the atmosphere and ocean, and impacts Arctic communities and ecosystems.
    Arctic sea ice shrinks every year during the spring and summer until it reaches its minimum yearly extent.
    Sea ice regrows during the frigid fall and winter months, when the sun is below the horizon in the Arctic.
