JWST recently caught three of the earliest galaxies in the universe as they were contracting from a giant, dark cloud of hydrogen gas. The three faint spots of red light in a recent set of JWST data traveled more than 13 billion light-years through space to reach the telescope’s mirrors. That ancient light provides a … Read more
Galaxies consist of various astronomical objects, including black holes, planets and stars. At the core of a galaxy lies a supermassive black hole (SMBH), one of the most powerful and dangerous entities in the universe. A puzzling question for scientists was whether SMBHs produced galaxies or whether galaxies formed SMBHs. Events in the early universe … Read more
According to the US Space Force, China’s unnamed space plane appears to have released another object into space. The nature of the object is unknown, but it has been named 59884 (International designation 2023-195G). The Chinese spaceplane has been in orbit for more than 165 days and the new object was spotted on May 24. … Read more

After nearly three weeks of extensive testing and data analysis, NASA executives said Friday they have confidence in Boeing frequently delayed Starliner crew capsule can launch safely “as is” on June 1, saying a small helium leak in the ship’s propulsion system does not pose a flight safety concern. Steve Stich, manager of NASA’s Commercial … Read more

New research indicates that the Sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the one struck the earth earlier this month. It appears that the magnetic field originates 20,000 miles below the surface of the sun. Previous calculations placed … Read more

Rather than dying dramatically in a massive supernova explosion, some large stars may die quietly and without fanfare. This could explain the mysterious and sudden disappearance of certain stars from the night sky that astronomers have noticed over the years, according to a new article in the journal Physical Assessment Letters. These massive stars can … Read more
