When Soundgarden Wrote “Black Hole Sun,” they may have inadvertently been onto something. In a new paper in Nature, scientists have chronicled a “black hole star” that’s the size of our solar system and glows bright red in the depth of space. The findings are based on observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, which
To test these new ideas, researchers are exploring the infant universe through simulations. “There’s actually been really remarkable progress since Webb launched, really in the last year or so, on numerical simulations,” Somerville told attendees, adding that these new simulations “perhaps are more appropriate and more informative for interpreting observations in the high-redshift universe.” As
Climate change has now become a problem for the entire solar system. On Friday, wildfires in Spain engulfed one of three observatories the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration uses to connect with spacecraft, including Voyager 1, the James Webb Space Telescope and the recently completed Artemis mission around the Moon. Spain declared a wildfire
