Magnetars are some of the most extreme objects we know about, with magnetic fields so strong that chemistry becomes impossible in their vicinity. They’re neutron stars with a superfluid interior that includes charged particles, so it’s easy to understand how a magnetic dynamo is maintained to support that magnetic field. But...
This is El Gordo, a NIRCam medium deep field of a galaxy cluster contains hundreds of galaxies that existed when the universe was 6.2 billion years old....
It will take a month for the craft to reach the moon, hopefully it doesn’t crash like Japan did back in April.
Edit: my bad I messed up the link
Researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole to date with the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy, CEERS 1019, existed just over 570 million years after the big bang, and its black hole is less massive than any other yet identified in the early universe. Not only that, they’ve easily “shaken...
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe accomplished a milestone on June 27, 2023 – its 16th orbit of the Sun. This included a close approach to the Sun (known as perihelion) on June 22, 2023, where the spacecraft came within 5.3 million miles of the solar surface while moving at 364,610 miles per hour. The spacecraft emerged from the...
Every time I gaze upon the night sky, I always look for the Pleiades. When I was very young, it was the first thing that I had questioned when looking at the stars. It was faint, but I could see it. I had no idea what I was looking at, or if anyone knew what it was. It was difficult to research as a young child in the early...

Europe, Asia, and Africa have the best view of this partial lunar eclipse, but the northeastern U.S. will still see the final, penumbral stages.
The United States conducted another routine test of its nuclear deterrent system by launching an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile....
