Astronomers Detect Methane in the Atmosphere of the Nearest T Dwarf Star to Earth
Astronomers have detected methane in the nearest known T dwarf, offering new insight into its atmospheric composition. The study further highlights that the carbon abundance in the planet is estimated to be -1.5 dex, while the effective temperature could be around 1,000 K. The author of the paper further revealed that the low metallicity of the T ...

Sun closest to Earth today
The Sun will be closest to our planet today, giving an opportunity to astro-enthusiasts to carry out several experiments. "At 5:53 am tomorrow (Perihelion Day), the Earth will be at its nearest point from the Sun. The distance at that time is 147 million km," Planetary Society of India General Secretary N Sri Raghunandan Kumar said on Wednesday.
