Researchers recently compared photos of hundreds of galaxies taken by JWST for the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey with...
An infrared image of Io snapped by Juno in July 2022. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/ASI/INAF/JIRAM)The most powerful volcanic eruptions in the Solar System occur not on Earth, however on Io, a sulfurous moon orbiting the planet Jupiter.And currently, researchers from the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) in the United States have noticed a current outburst that's been surprisingly productive,...
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash on the left picture– on Jan. 5, 2023. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in AIA 171 orange. Credit: NASA/SDOThe sun...

Portion of the spectrum of HD 213258. Credit: Mathys et al, 2022Utilizing the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), astronomers have observed a chemically peculiar star called as HD 213258. In the outcome, they found that HD 213258 is a quickly oscillating, strongly magnetic Ap star. The finding is reported in a paper released on December 24...
JWST's new image of NGC 7469. (ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, L. Armus, A. S. Evans)The perfect galaxy photoThe James Webb Space Telescope simply gave a spiral galaxy 230 million light-years away a recent sparkling glamor shot excellent sufficient for the Christmas tree.While the galaxy has the instead un-attractive name of NGC 7469, it has been...
