The moon itself will be an eye-catching, thin crescent. If you happen to be situated in Canada, the contiguous US, Mexico, Greenland, northern Scandinavia, or […]
The Night Sky This Week May 15 2023
This week we highlight an eye-catching line-up that involves Mars and the moon has a super-close encounter with Jupiter and even hides the planet for some lucky observers.
Weird Asteroid Belts Spotted Around Young, Bright Star
Three glowing disks of dusty debris encircling a young star are reminiscent of our solar system’s asteroid belt. Astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to image the warm dust around a nearby young star, Fomalhaut, in order to study the first asteroid belt ever seen outside of our solar system in infrared light. But […]
Webb Spots Baby Galaxy Cluster
The powerful telescope’s latest findings are the first to spectroscopically confirm distances for a young protocluster of galaxies just 650 million years after the big bang. Astronomers think the protocluster represents the earliest stages of what will develop into a massive conglomeration like the Coma Cluster, which includes thousands of gravitationally bound member galaxies. Every […]
