Finally spotted! JWST caught a 1.4 billion year old, metal-rich galaxy

Posted by in category: space

The discovery has left astronomers at Cornell University in wonder.

Analyzing the data of the first image captured by NASA’s JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) of a popular early galaxy, astronomers at Cornell University were surprised by the blob of light shining near the galaxy’s outer edge.

While scanning the image, the initial focus and target of the infrared observatory was SPT0418-47, one of the brightest dusty, star-creating galaxies in the early universe. Its distant light bent and magnified into a circle (Einstein ring) by the gravity of a foreground galaxy.

30 years of NASA’s Magellan mission may finally solve how Venus cools

Posted by in categories: chemistry, space

These peculiar geological structures could explain a long-standing mystery of how Venus loses its heat.

Given Venus and Earth are both rocky planets with roughly the same size and chemistry of their rocks, they should be losing their interior heat to space at a similar rate. How Earth loses its heat is well known, whereas Venus’ flow process remains a mystery.

How does Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, lose its heat?

Scientists Are Using AI to Dream Up Artificial Enzymes

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

One of my favorite childhood summertime memories is being surrounded by fireflies. As the sun set, their shimmering glow would spark up the backyard like delicate fairy lights. The fact that living beings could produce light felt like magic.

But it’s not magic. It’s enzymes.

Enzymes are the catalysts of life. They drive every step of our metabolism, power photosynthesis in plants, propel viruses to replicate—and in certain organisms, trigger bioluminescence so they shine like diamonds.

Largest Structures in the Universe Contain Magnetic Fields That Shed Light on Cosmic Web Formation

Posted by in categories: particle physics, space travel

Magnetic fields abound in the universe. Despite the fact that the Universe is electrically neutral, atoms may be ionized into positively and negatively charged nuclei and electrons.

According to Science Alert, magnetic fields are created when charges are accelerated. Collisions between and inside interstellar plasma are one of the most prevalent sources of large-scale magnetic fields. This is one of the primary generators of magnetic fields at the cosmic scale.
