Peering into Alien Skies: A virtual seminar with Dr. Caroline Morley
Wednesday, September 4, 2024 by Richard Harris
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been a beacon of discovery since its launch, and now, after two years of operation, its impact on our understanding of the universe, particularly in exoplanet science, is nothing short of revolutionary. We are at a pivotal moment where the characterization of worlds beyond our solar system is becoming increasingly detailed, than...

JWST reveals dust in a galaxy 70 million light years away
Sunday, August 11, 2024 by Richard Harris
Researchers at Newcastle University, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), uncovered a dust veil in galaxy ESO 428-G14, 70 million light years away. Contrary to expectations, the dust is heated by gas collisions rather than radiation from the supermassive black hole. JWST reveals dust near a supermassive black hole This discovery highlights the complex...

Supermassive black holes are merging in the galaxy system ZS7
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Astronomers have provided evidence for an ongoing merger of two galaxies and their massive black holes when the universe was just 740 million years old, using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This groundbreaking discovery highlights a significant period in cosmic history, revealing the farthest and earliest detection of merging black holes to dat...

Removing star spikes with Cuiv the Lazy Geek
Thursday, May 16, 2024 by Richard Harris
Star spikes, also known as diffraction spikes, are lines radiating from bright stars in images taken with Newtonian telescopes. They occur because of diffraction of light around the secondary mirror's support vanes, also known as the spider vanes. Refracting telescopes, which lack any central obstruction, do not suffer from star spikes and generally offer higher ...
