The Giant Satellites: Biggest Moons in Our Solar System

Our solar system is home to hundreds of moons, but a select few stand out for their sheer size. These largest satellites are not merely rocks in orbit; they are diverse, geologically active worlds that rival the size of some planets.

Hubble telescope discovers rare galaxy that is 99% dark matter

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered what seems to be a galaxy that is the most heavily dominated by dark matter ever seen.

Another Early Universe Surprise From The JWST: A Jellyfish Galaxy

Astronomers working with JWST have found a jellyfish galaxy only about 5 billion years after the Big Bang. Jellyfish galaxies are so named because they trail streams of gas that look like jellyfish tentacles. They're created when a galaxy moves rapidly through a cluster, and the intracluster medium (ICM) strips gas from them, stretching it into long streams.

Ancient Massive Stars Enriched Early Clusters and Birthed First Black Holes

The early Universe was a busy place. As the infant cosmos exanded, that epoch saw the massive first stars forming, along with protogalaxies. It turns out those extremely massive early stars were stirring up chemical changes in the first globular clusters, as well. Not only that, many of those monster stars ultimately collapsed as black holes.

AI helps find new clues in the 60-year search for Luna 9, the 1st successful moon lander

Scientists may have narrowed down the landing site of the Soviet Union's Luna 9, which in 1966 became the first spacecraft to touch down softly on the moon.

Hubble and Euclid Team Up To Identify A Dark Matter Galaxy

Everybody knows that galaxies are large structures made of stars. That's a simple definition, and ignores the fact that galaxies also contain gas, dust, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, etc., and of course, dark matter. But one type of galaxy is mostly made of dark matter, and they're difficult to detect.

Webb maps Uranus's mysterious upper atmosphere

For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the planet. Using NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec instrument, the team observed Uranus for nearly a full rotation, detecting the faint glow from molecules high above the clouds. The results offer a new window into how ice-giant planets distribute energy in their upper layers.

Hubble and Chandra space telescopes hunt for rogue black holes wandering through dwarf galaxies

The Hubble and Chandra space telescopes are hunting for rogue black holes wandering through dwarf galaxies, which could provide a fossil record of how supermassive black hole growth in the early universe.

Flexible Force Fields Can Protect Our Return to the Moon

Lunar dust remains one of the biggest challenges for a long-term human presence on the Moon. Its jagged, clingy nature makes it naturally stick to everything from solar panels to the inside of human lungs. And while we have some methods of dealing with it, there is still plenty of experimentation to do here on Earth before we use any such system in the lunar environment. A new paper in Acta Astronautica from Francesco Pacelli and Alvaro Romero-Calvo of Georgia Tech and their co-authors describes two types of flexible Electrodynamic Dust Shields (EDSs) that could one day be used in such an environment.
