NASA's Webb Telescope Identifies Most Distant Galaxy
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 31, 2024
Over the last two years, scientists have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to explore Cosmic Dawn, the period shortly after the big bang when the first galaxies were born. These early galaxies offer crucial insights into the evolution of gas, stars, and black holes in the young universe. In October 2023 and January 2024, an international team of astronomers utilized Webb to observe g

New Earth-Based Telescope Images of Jupiter's Moon Io Match Spacecraft Quality
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 31, 2024
New images of Jupiter's moon Io, captured by the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) on Mount Graham in Arizona, present the highest resolution of Io achieved with an Earth-based instrument. This feat was made possible by the SHARK-VIS instrument and the LBT's adaptive optics system, which counteracts atmospheric turbulence.
The images, to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, show sur

Asteroid Dinkinesh Shows Complex History in Lucy Flyby
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 31, 2024
NASA's Lucy spacecraft, led by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), discovered notable geological features on the main belt asteroid Dinkinesh during its flyby last November. The half-mile-wide asteroid revealed a trough and ridge structure, as well as a contact binary satellite, marking a significant find.
The data indicated a dramatic history involving sudden breakups and transformat

The rush to return humans to the moon and build lunar bases could threaten opportunities for astronomy
The 2020s have already seen many lunar landing attempts, although several of them have crashed or toppled over. With all the excitement surrounding the prospect of humans returning to the moon, both commercial interests and scientists stand to gain.
The moon is uniquely suitable for researchers to build telescopes they can't put on Earth because it doesn't have as much satellite interference as Earth, nor a magnetic field blocking out radio waves. But only recently have astronomers like me started thinking about potential conflicts between the desire to expand knowledge of the universe on one side and geopolitical rivalries and commercial gain on the other, and how to balance those interests.
