A Glittering Stellar Nursery Shines In New JWST Image

The JWST has a well-earned reputation for delivering incredible images of the cosmos. From its very first image, the powerful space telescope has regularly wowed us with images of galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and other cosmic objects. One of the telescope's main science themes concerns the birth of stars, and in a new image, the JWST zoomed in on Pismis 24-1, a brilliant young star in the Pismis 24 cluster.

The Murchison Widefield Array Just Doubled In Size - What Could It Find Now?

Radio astronomy took another step forward recently, with the completion of Phase III of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Western Australia. We’ve reported before on how the MWA has investigated everything from SETI signals to the light from the earliest stars. WIth this upgrade, the MWA will continue to operate with much needed improvements while the radio astronomy awaits the completion of the successor it helped enable - the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).

The JWST's New Contribution To Understanding The Cosmic Dawn: MINERVA

One of the confounding things about astronomy is that simple dust is an obstacle that astronomers must work hard to overcome. In a Universe that contains beguiling things like supermassive black holes, amino acids on the surface of comets, and puzzling, powerful bursts of extragalactic radio waves, it's somewhat humbling that simple dust particles require so much effort to deal with. One of the reasons the powerful JWST was built is to deal with this dust.

Juno Detects Callisto's "Footprints" in Jupiter's Aurorae

Jupiter is well-known for the massive aurorae that occur near the planet's polar regions, the brightest and most powerful in the Solar System. Much like aurora here on Earth, these shimmering lights are the result of interaction between the planet's magnetic field and solar wind. Unlike Earth's, though, Jupiter's largest moons - Io, Europa, and Ganymede (aka. the Galileans) - leave their own auroral signatures in the planet's atmosphere. These induced aurorae are known as "satellite footprints" and track how each moon interacts with Jupiter and the local space environment.
