Webb Detects Most Distant Black Hole Merger to Date An international team of astronomers has used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to find evidence for an ongoing merger of two galaxies and their massive black holes when the Universe was only 740 million years old. This marks the most distant detection of a black hole merger and the first time researchers have detected this phenomenon so early in the Universe.

They're black holes, but they're some of the brightest objects in the universe—and thanks to NYU astronomers, we now know the locations of about 1.3 million of them. NYU's David Hogg and colleagues have completed the largest map of the universe's known quasars, which are powered by supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies and can be hundreds of times brighter than an entire galaxy. As the black hole’s gravitational pull spins up nearby gas, the process generates an extremely bright disk, and sometimes jets of light, that telescopes can observe. The scientists built the new map, which charts the largest-ever volume of the universe, using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. The furthest quasar in it was shining when the universe was only 1.5 million years old. Image: A quasar seen at the center of a faraway galaxy in an artistic concept by @NASA.

LabXchange and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration take us on an astronomical journey. The newest LabXchange cluster, “Exploring the Universe with James Webb,” delves into the captivating evolution of stars and galaxies, and the quest for extraterrestrial life. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the most advanced infrared space telescope created to date, allowing us to explore the evolution of our universe like no other telescope. Comprised of over 100 interactive digital resources from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Space Telescope Science Institute, Futurum Careers, The Scientista Foundation, and others, the cluster explores space telescopes and how JWST will launch and revolutionize future space exploration.

Summary: • A recent discovery from data collected by NASA’s retired Kepler space telescope revealed a system of 7 “scorching” planets orbiting a distant star larger and hotter than the sun. • These planets, larger than Earth, range from rocky with thin atmospheres to those with thick atmospheres. This system is part of a new catalog of planet candidates discovered by the telescope, which contains almost 4,400 planets, including over 700 multi-planet systems. • The Kepler telescope, which ceased primary observations in 2013, helped demonstrate the abundance of planets in the galaxy, offering insights into their properties and their host systems. The comprehensive catalog will aid astronomers in further understanding these distant worlds. https://lnkd.in/ge52bs3G

Taylor Hutchison, a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the James Webb Space Telescope, says her research focus is on distant galaxies --some of the first galaxies ever found in the early universe -- which give us a view toward understanding the history of the universe. In this episode of Further Together, host Michael Holtz asks Hutchison about her research emphasis, how she got to be a NASA NPP Fellow, what led her to a career in the sciences and so much more.

The next payload of the #20PayloadsofPeregrine is the Peregrine Ion-Trap Mass Spectrometer for Lunar Surface Volatiles (PITMS). PITMS will characterize the lunar exosphere after descent and landing throughout the lunar day to understand the release and movement of volatiles, chemical elements and compounds with low boiling points and are thus easily turned to vapor. PITMS is a partnership between NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, The Open University (OU), and the European Space Agency (ESA). #PM1 #payload #7DaysofPeregrinePayloads #20PayloadsofPeregrine

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured near- and mid-infrared portraits of 19 face-on spiral galaxies, providing unprecedented views of stars, gas, and dust on scales previously unseen beyond our own galaxy. These intricate portraits, showcasing the telescope's advanced capabilities, are part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program, inviting researchers to delve into the origins of these cosmic structures and deepen our understanding of star formation and spiral galaxy evolution. #infinitycosmos More Read > https://lnkd.in/giCbW--U

Art captures the essence of space, translating its beauty, mystery, and wonder into tangible experiences that complement scientific knowledge. 🎨🔬 Artists have even been invited by space agencies like NASA to create works that inspire and educate about the cosmos. ✨ Learn more about how art and space exploration go together, like the sun and the moon, for #WorldSpaceWeek! ☀️🌕 https://loom.ly/YbekKmQ

Galaxies, composed of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter, have intrigued humanity for centuries. Initially, we believed our Milky Way was the sole galaxy until Edwin Hubble, guided by Henrietta Swan Leavitt's work, identified the Andromeda Galaxy as a separate entity. Now, beyond the Milky Way, we've identified billions of galaxies, ranging from spirals like ours to elliptical and irregular forms. Discover how the James Webb Space Telescope is pushing the frontiers of astronomy to answer the mysteries of galactic composition and structure in this pathway.

THANK YOU FOR TOP FAN.! With President Joe Biden – I just got recognized as one of their top fans.! ALLIED: I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE SUCH A POWERFUL MILITARY MOVIE IN ALL MY LIFE. I CAN SERIOUSLY SEE BRAD PITT PLAY 007 J. BOND. ARTICLE: CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G. BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION TENRI CULTURAL INSTITUTE tenri.org https://lnkd.in/e55sRd8b https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 WonderMind.com: CRYPTO-FINANCE & WHAT'S ON THE TABLE. REYGITONIUM-G MR. MS. TEEFEY & SELENA GOMEZ-RARE-SUPERSTAR. TCI GALLERY SPRING 2024 THEMES. CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. AN OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS. REYGITONIUM-G: COUNTRY GOVERNMENT $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS WHEN A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA. CLOSING COMMENT: THE DAMNEDEST CRAZIEST FUNNIEST EMBARRASSING ABOUT THE HOMELESS CHAOS IS ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY HOMELESS EXIST. HENCEFORTH CONSIDER USA TRILLIONS IN DEBT & 6,120 OF HOSPITALS SCATTERED AROUND THE USA & MANY COUNTRIES ASKING FOR FOREIGN AID IN THE TRILLIONS & YOU TALKING EXCUSES. MEANWHILE WE WANT TO SETTLE HUMANITY ON OTHER PLANETS. THANK YOU FOR READING.
