HH 49: Interstellar Jet from #Webb
James Webb's #infrared image reveals a Herbig-Haro jet (HH 49) from a forming star system, with glowing shock waves. At the jet's tip lies a distant spiral #galaxy, its blue core and circular rings visible behind the interstellar outflow.

The #Euclid #Space #Telescope, launched by the European Space Agency, is designed to map the large-scale structure of the universe, aiming to better understand dark matter and dark energy.
By observing billions of galaxies, Euclid will create a 3D map of the cosmos, providing insights into the universe's expansion and evolution.

The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) started its journey from Duisburg to the Chilean Atacama Desert in January.
Now it has arrived at the 5600 m high Cerro Chajnantor! 
The high-tech telescope has two six-meter mirrors and innovative technology.
There should be new insights into the formation of the first stars and galaxies after the Big Bang.

For more than five years, the Bernese #CHEOPS #telescope has been providing high-precision data on #exoplanets. 
At the beginning of 2025, Christopher Broeg took over the leadership of the #space mission from Willy Benz. Now the two have met for a conversation: https://www.uniaktuell.unibe.ch/2025/what_should_i_definitely_not_do/index_eng.html

This preferred direction of spin might be due to one of two reasons: either our entire universe exists in a #blackhole, or #astronomers have been measuring the universe’s expansion incorrectly https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/james-webb-space-telescope-reveals-that-most-galaxies-rotate-clockwise-180986224/

#Jupiter and Ring in #Infrared from #Webb
Jupiter's rings, discovered by Voyager 1 in 1979, are formed by meteoroid impacts on small moons like Metis, ejecting dust into orbit. The James Webb Space #Telescope's infrared image captures these rings, Jupiter's clouds, the Great Red Spot, #moon Europa, and its shadow. Some features remain a mystery.
