➀ Researchers have identified a possible source of long-period radio transients; ➁ The source, GLEAM-X J0704-37, is a low-mass star in a binary system; ➂ The discovery raises new questions about the energy output of M dwarfs.
Recent #Telescope news in the semiconductor industry
➀ The Sombrero galaxy, known as Messier 104 (M104), is revealed in a new image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, showing a smooth inner disk and an intricate outer ring. ➁ The image reveals the distribution of dust, which is an essential building block for astronomical objects in the universe. ➂ The Sombrero galaxy is not known for star formation, producing less than one solar mass of stars per year, and its central supermassive black hole is classified as a low luminosity active galactic nucleus.
➀ Astronomers captured the first close-up image of a dying star outside the Milky Way using ESO's VLTI; ➁ The star, WH G64, is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud; ➂ The image reveals an egg-shaped cocoon surrounding the star, possibly related to a supernova event.
➀ The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid space mission has released the first chunk of its 208-gigapixel map of the universe. The map, created from 260 observations, covers 132 square degrees of the Southern Sky. ➁ The map contains around 100 million sources, including stars and galaxies. ➂ Euclid's sensitive cameras have captured intricate structures of spiral galaxies, and the mission is expected to reveal more than one third of the sky in six years.
➀ NASA's Webb telescope captures a stunning image of a galactic collision; ➁ The galaxies, Arp 107, are located 465 million light-years from Earth; ➂ The image combines observations from Webb's MIRI and NIRCam, highlighting star formation and the connection between the galaxies.
1. The James Webb Space Telescope has captured detailed images of deep space, including the Carina Nebula and the Crab Nebula. 2. Webb's infrared capabilities have revealed hidden stellar nurseries and early stages of star formation. 3. The telescope has also provided insights into the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, showcasing young stars and their environments.
1. NASA's Webb Space Telescope captured an image of the exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab, located 12 light years away and orbiting the K-type star Epsilon Indi A. 2. The exoplanet, several times the mass of Jupiter, is one of the coldest exoplanets imaged to date. 3. The observation revealed unexpected details about the planet's size, orbit, and atmosphere, differing from prior model predictions.
1. NASA's Webb Space Telescope captured an image of a cosmic firework display centered around a protostar named L1527. 2. The image, taken with the Mid-Infrared Camera (MIRI), shows organic compounds and energized gases surrounding the protostar. 3. The protostar, about 100,000 years old, is consuming gas and dust from its parent molecular cloud, creating a bright hourglass structure.
