Could Supermassive Stars Explain How This Galaxy Got Its Nitrogen?
Stars more than a hundred times more massive than the Sun might be the source of nitrogen in one of the most distant known galaxies.
A Solar System–Sized Experiment: New Proposal for Precision Cosmology and More
To measure vast distances with tiny uncertainties, astronomers need to think outside the box. A new study proposes an ambitious mission that could revolutionize our understanding of cosmology, dark matter, and more.
Red Galaxies at Night, Astronomers Delight: A Look at the “Hubble-Dark” Universe
JWST has revealed an intriguing new group of galaxies with flat, extended, red disks that might be the precursors to today’s massive galaxies.
A Potential New Character in the Saga of HD 163296
Astrobites reports on an extra protoplanet that might be lurking in the dust around a nearby star.
The Prototypical Blazar BL Lacertae Shows New Behavior
In 2020, astronomers spotted curious color changes and other new behavior from the first known blazar.
Forming the Sun on a Molecular Cloud Filament
Can a model in which the solar system forms in a dense, filamentary gas cloud explain the radioactive atoms found in meteorites?
