A gorgeous galaxy and a sweaty planet
Get more BAN for less money! Plus actual astronomy stuff, like the solstice, and radiation hitting the Curiosity Mars rover
A new study says 2.25 times the mass of the Sun, give or take. Any more, and you get a black hole.
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
How did a massive galaxy form so soon after the Big Bang?
It may have been a second generation star, and it’s in a Milky Way satellite galaxy
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
