To mark its third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local star-forming region. Paris, July 10, 2025.- Webb’s NIRCam instrument was used to look at this particular area ofContinuar Leyendo
El telescopio con la cámara digital más grande del planeta publicó sus primeras observaciones desde la Región de Coquimbo. Los impresionantes registros, que recorrieron los medios internacionales, consolidan al país como epicentro de la astronomía mundial. Santiago, 03 de Julio de 2025.- El lunes 23 de junio, el Observatorio VeraContinuar Leyendo
For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), they have found patterns that confirm its star suffered a pair of explosiveContinuar Leyendo
Bern, June 23, 2025.- A new study by researchers of the University of Bern shows that the hilly surface of Mercury could be influenced not only by the cooling and contraction of the planet, but also by the tidal forces of the Sun. Future analysis will draw on new dataContinuar Leyendo
Tucson, June 23, 2025.- An international team of astronomers including researchers at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory has unveiled groundbreaking findings about the disks of gas and dust surrounding nearby young stars, using the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA. The findings, published in 12 papersContinuar Leyendo
Astronomers have witnessed for the first time a violent cosmic collision in which one galaxy pierces another with intense radiation. Their results, published today in Nature, show that this radiation dampens the wounded galaxy’s ability to form new stars. This new study combined observations from both the European Southern Observatory’sContinuar Leyendo
Astronomers see evidence of clouds bubbling up over Titan’s northern hemisphere. A science team has combined data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope to see evidence of cloud convection on Saturn’s moon Titan in the northern hemisphere for the first time. Most of Titan’sContinuar Leyendo
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured new details of the auroras on our Solar System’s largest planet. The dancing lights observed on Jupiter are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth. With Webb’s advanced sensitivity, astronomers have studied the phenomena to better understand Jupiter’s magnetosphere. París,Continuar Leyendo
París, April 23, 2025.- In celebration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s 35 years in Earth orbit, an assortment of compelling images have been released today that were recently taken by Hubble. This stretches from the planet Mars to dramatic images of stellar birth and death, to a magnificent neighbouringContinuar Leyendo
Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious. Cambrigde, April 21, 2025.- Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the astronomers, led by the University of Cambridge, have detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS)Continuar Leyendo
