Astronomers have produced the clearest exoplanet 'ultrasound' to date and its twins! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Parents know the joy of the first ultrasound scan of their babies. Astronomers have now achieved the planetary equivalent, imaging a pair of twin planets as they form in the womb of gas and dust around their parent star. The imaging of these forming exoplanets (or extrasolar planets, worlds outside of our solar system), comes courtesy of the 66 radio antennas that comprise the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA). It brings astronomers closer than ever before to understanding the
The James Webb Space Telescope's mysterious Little Red Dots may be overfeeding black holes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New research suggests that mysterious Little Red Dots discovered in the early universe may actually be overfeeding supermassive black holes, killing two metaphorical birds with one stone. While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has undoubtedly improved our understanding of the cosmos immensely in its four years of operation, the $10 billion NASA instrument has also delivered some problems with our understanding of the universe. Primary among these quirks in our understanding of the cosmos is
Rogue black holes could wander the cosmos sharing the histories of their home galaxies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people never forget their first home, carrying their memories with them as they travel. New research suggests that this adage may be true for wandering black holes too. That's because it seems that rogue black holes that break away from their cosmic homes may carry with them the histories of the galaxies they may eventually escape. These rogue black holes can be displaced when their home galaxies collide and merge. This begins journeys of billions of years that carry these black holes far f
Jupiter-bound JUICE spacecraft just got an 8,000 mph speed boost from Earth: 'This is great news for science' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) spacecraft returned to Earth on Monday (Sept. 28), but just for a brief flying visit. The European Space Agency (ESA) probe stopped by only to pick up a gravity assist to continue its voyage to Jupiter and its moons. JUICE launched in April 2023, and this is the third time during its three and a half year mission that it has picked up a gravity assist. This included performing the first-ever lunar-Earth flyby in August 2024, and grabbing a speed boost and t
James Webb Space Telescope finds our ancient universe wasn't as pure as we thought (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered that just 500 million years after the Big Bang, galaxies were already pumping heavy elements into their surroundings. That means the early universe wasn't as pure and unspoiled as previously believed, potentially impacting our theories of cosmic evolution. Soon after the universe began, it was filled with the lightest element, hydrogen, and a little helium. As such, the first stars formed from these elements — but as these stars a
