Also: A planet found using astrometry, and where does the Sun’s magnetic field originate?
Also a new cool hot planet, a satellite made of wood (yes, seriously), and an interesting carbon capture idea
Pretty cool, though not enough to make a snowman unless you have a really wide plow
We can get pretty cool shots of tiny, distant objects from Earth sometimes
China lands on the Moon, Boeing Starliner goes to orbit, Hubble limps along, Starship test flight 4 went pretty well

Moon dust is evil. Plus: Capturing carbon, and finding the first stars torn apart by black holes
A bit of a hodgepodge of exoplanetary news today
JWST images of the nearby galaxy show huge tendrils of material blasting away
A tried-and-true astronomical technique uncovers galaxies in JWST images
Like it wasn’t already upsetting enough. Also, hear me talk about the Dark Universe on Big Picture Science
