NASA’s Hubble Discovers First of Star Cluster’s Missing Black Holes

Hubble Captures Star-Studded Cluster

This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope showcases Messier 3 (M3), one of the Milky Way galaxy’s most massive globular clusters, or spherical collections of gravitationally bound stars. Globular clusters are made up of ancient stars that formed at roughly the same time from the same cloud of gas, giving those stars similar ages. Around 150 known globular clusters are []

Einstein Probe may have caught a black hole tearing apart a white dwarf for the first time

Astronomers may have witnessed one of the rarest and most dramatic cosmic events ever seen: a long-sought intermediate-mass black hole ripping apart a dense white dwarf star and devouring it. The Einstein Probe space telescope caught the explosion in its earliest moments, revealing an unusual sequence of intense X-ray flashes unlike anything seen in a typical gamma-ray burst.

Webb Detects the First Atmosphere on a Planet That Survived Its Star’s Death

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane and cloud particles in the atmosphere of WD 1856 b, a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a dead star 80 light-years away, the first atmospheric measurement of a planet transiting a white dwarf and a preview of what may survive the death of our own Sun.

60 million stars shine in Euclid telescope's new image of the Milky Way

The European Space Agency on Wednesday released the largest and most detailed visible-light image of the Milky Way's center. The picture shows more than 60 million stars in the galactic bulge, glistening along with nebulae and star clusters. It is a mosaic of nine separate pointings, each covering a patch of sky somewhat larger than a full Moon. — Read the rest The post 60 million stars shine in Euclid telescope's new image of the Milky Way appeared first on Boing Boing.

This planet survived the death of its star—and kept its atmosphere

Astronomers have for the first time observed an atmosphere around a giant planet orbiting a white dwarf

This Giant Planet May Have Survived the Death of Its Star. The James Webb Space Telescope Just Found Its Atmosphere

New observations of WD 1856 b, a gas giant closely orbiting a white dwarf, offer a preview of what could happen to Jupiter and Saturn after the sun dies in about five billion years.

First look at Earth’s second moon — revealed in satellite images for the first time ever

This rock star is ready for its extreme close-up. Chinese researchers have captured the first-ever close-up images of the rare “mini-moon” that’s tracing circles around the Earth. Dubbed 2016 HO3 or Kamoʻoalewa, this interstellar rolling stone is not actually one of our lunar satellites – it’s too distant for that — but rather an asteroid []
