Based on NIRCam observations, a research group reported the discovery of a new infrared transient in SMACS-0723 field. The data implies a very blue colour and it might be a distant Type Ia supernova. Follow-up observations are encouraged. wis-tns.org/astronotes/ast…
Speaking of released raw JWST images, the ones of Antennae Galaxies were released earlier today. jwstfeed.com/Home/ShowFeed?… PID: GO 1995, PI: Wendy Freedman (University of Chicago).
2M1134-2103: a distant quasar being lensed 4 times by a foreground object, making in appear multiple times from our perspective. Observed by JWST/MIRI a year ago. jwstfeed.com/Home/ShowFeed?…
Це K2-18b, потенційно придатна для життя планета, покрита океанами і приблизно в 2,6 рази більша за Землю. JWST щойно виявив у своїй атмосфері вуглекислий газ і метан, які можуть вироблятися лише живими істотами.
Could have spent my afternoon working. Actually spent my afternoon figuring out how to skin my office door with the #JWST image of the Carina Nebula like a totally responsible astronomer.
This is K2-18b, a potentially habitable planet covered with oceans and about 2.6 times the size of Earth. JWST has just detected carbon dioxide and methane in its atmosphere which can only be produced by living beings.
The #JWST has detected the farthest black hole collision ever observed, occurring when the Universe was just 740 million years old. This event involves the merger of two galaxies and their central supermassive black holes in a system known as ZS7. 1/
