New #satellites in #Teskooano - now with correct models like the #iss and #jwst with correct lighting model - now live on https://teskooano.space
For the first time, astronomers witness the dawn of a new solar system
Interesting. @startswithabang
"The team proposes that the black hole formed there via the direct collapse of a gas cloud – a process that may explain some of the incredibly massive black holes Webb has found in the early universe."

this dive into exactly *how* #JWST produces such amazing images (written for The Conversation by an astrophysicist who works with Webb) was a really good read (great question posed by a 12yo for the article: “How does the camera on the James Webb Space Telescope work and see so far out?”)

The James Webb #Space Telescope doesn't take regular photos - its detectors convert infrared light to digital data, which scientists on Earth process into the stunning full-color space images we see.

#NASA released a really cool documentary about the James Webb Space Telescope #JWST https://youtu.be/uSMGENDH_QI and how it was built, tested, and ultimately launched. The 2017 hurricane very nearly ruined - or at least significantly delayed - the whole project. #Astronomy #Space
Here's a way to explore something that is far out. *Way* far out!
I've been zooming in and exploring the interactive web viewer for the James Webb telescope's new deep field view. According to Anton Petrov's new video on this, there's about 800,000 galaxies(!) in this view, which is a tiny fraction of the whole night sky.
Our universe is insanely HUGE!
It's also incredible that everyone can explore these massive images on our browsers. Thanks to the astonomers that made this possible.
NASA’s Webb Rounds Out Picture of Sombrero Galaxy’s Disk
The new image of the famous Sombrero galaxy in near-infrared wavelengths shows dust from the outer ring blocking stellar light from the inner portions of the galaxy.
