An article published in “The Astronomical Journal” reports the first results of an analysis of the data of the Data Release 3 (DR3) of the Lega-C astronomical survey, the largest spectroscopic survey of galaxies that we could define in their midlife since we see them as they were between about five and eight billion years ago. It offers information crucial to fully understand certain phases of the evolution of galaxies and star formation within them. Good news offered by a team of researchers led by Po-Feng Wu of the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taipei (Taiwan) is the good consistency between the simulations of the IllustrisTNG program and of the observations conducted in that sort of census that was Lega-C.

Various articles published in the journals “Science”, “Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets”, and “Geophysical Research Letters” report various results of the research conducted on planet Jupiter’s atmosphere. Various teams of researchers used data gathered by NASA’s Juno space probe to obtain various results. For the first time, it’s been possible to create a 3D reconstruction of the Jovian atmosphere that offers a better understanding of how the bands that envelop the planet and are known as belts and zones work, of the polar cyclones, and the Great Red Spot.
