An international research team, led by the Italian National Astrophysical Institute (INAF), has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to capture an extraordinary event in the distant Universe: the dramatic interaction between a quasar and two massive satellite galaxies in the PJ308-21 system. This remarkable discovery provides new insights into the growth of galaxies … Read more
Map of the line emission from hydrogen (in red and blue) and oxygen (in green) in the PJ308-21 system, shown after masking the light from the central quasar (“QSO”). The different colors of the quasar’s host galaxy and companion galaxies in this map reveal the physical properties of the gas within it. Credit: Decarli/INAF/A&A 2024 … Read more
Wherever the JWST looks in space, matter and energy interact in spectacular displays. The Webb reveals more details of these interactions than any other telescope because it can peer through the dense gas and dust that shrouds many objects. In a new image, the JWST sees a young protostar that is only 100,000 years old. … Read more
NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew just 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) above the volcanic world Io this year. The otherworldly vistas, including a look at the most powerful volcano known to man, did not disappoint. “They are truly stunning, stunning images,” Ashley Davies, a planetary scientist at the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Mashable. Other space … Read more
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a breathtaking image of NGC 4951, a spiral galaxy located about 49 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. This image, which shows the galaxy in remarkable detail, provides valuable insights into the processes of star formation and the energy dynamics within galaxies. Hubble’s high-resolution image provides a … Read more
NASA’s longest-running mission to Mars, the Mars Odyssey orbiter, has reached a special milestone by completing its 100,000th orbit of the Red Planet since its launch in 2001. This remarkable achievement not only underscores the sustainability and success of the mission, but also highlights the significant scientific contributions the spacecraft has made over more than … Read more
Grenades have fascinated humans for millennia. The ancient Egyptians decorated their jewelry with garnets, and the Greeks called them “lamp stones” because they believed they could help them see in the dark. Recently, crystallized garnet particles have highlighted a fascinating geological link between Australia and Antarctica, uncovering an ancient Antarctic mountain range now under ice. … Read more
In this image of the Serpens Nebula taken with the near-infrared camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers found a group of aligned protostellar outflows within one small region (the upper left corner). In the Webb image, these jets are indicated by bright clumpy streaks that appear red, which are shock waves from … Read more
