Spiral arms and bars drove gas transport in early massive galaxies
Data from NOEMA and JWST reveals that massive disk galaxies during cosmic noon used organized structural features to transport cold gas, challenging the view that early galaxies were predominantly chaotic.
Cosmic Drift Captured Before Star Birth
Researchers have captured the first evidence of ion-neutral drift in a prestellar core, shedding light on the gravitational collapse that forms new stars.
Astronomers scrutinize exoplanet that survived the death of its star
Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to study WD 1856 b, finding that the planet likely migrated toward its white dwarf host star long after the star died.
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be twice as old as the Sun
Analysis of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reveals isotopic ratios suggesting it formed long before the Sun. Scientists used the JWST and VLT to probe its alien chemistry.
Chandra Shows Red, White, Blue Space for US 250th
