Map of the IRAS 16293-2422 region from publicly available APEX data presented in Kahle et al. 2023, where the colormap is N2H + (3-2) at 279.511 GHz and the cyan
Thousands of exoplanets orbit nearby stars, showcasing a remarkable diversity in mass, size and orbits. With the James Webb Space Telescope now operational, we are observing exoplanet atmospheres and aiming
Stellar flares observed in JWST/NIRISS time-series spectroscopy of TRAPPIST-1. Each column shows one flare event during transits of the TRAPPIST-1c or TRAPPIST-1f planets. Tow row: Light curves with the total
Satellite images reveal the scope of destruction in the south of France caused by the worst wildfire to hit the country in over seven decades. The fire was first detected
Snapshots of a cross-sectional slice of a head-on collision between a non-rotating Venus and a 0.1 M⊕ impactor at 10 km s−1 . shown at multiple time steps. Initial energy
Technicians at the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida conduct illumination testing on Friday, July 18, 2025, by flashing a bright light that simulates the
Ground-based light curves from LCOGT, KeplerCam, and MUSCAT2. The colored data points correspond to the binned data at 5 minute cadence. The solid black line is the median model from
χ2 maps for HCN, CO2 + 13CO2, C6H6, C2H4, C2H6, CH4, and water. The color scale shows the χ2min/χ22 . The best fit model (χ2 min/χ2 = 1) is marked
A team of astronomers says it has identified the most distant black hole ever confirmed — a cosmic heavyweight that formed just 500 million years after the Big Bang, when
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover continues to beam home incredible sights from the Red Planet surface. This week, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) released an enhanced-color mosaic of 96 separate images
