JWST’s early galaxies didn’t break the Universe. They revealed it. Why does JWST see so many bright, early galaxies? It's not because cosmology is broken. The answer has a lot to do with dust, or specifically, the lack of it in the early Universe. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #jwst

JWST's early galaxies didn't break the Universe. They revealed it.

Originally, the abundance of bright, early galaxies shocked astronomers. After 3 years of JWST, we now know what's really going on.

Indiana University to discontinue more than 100 academic programs, including their PhD in astrophysics, due to low enrollment. So sad- it’s a great PhD program I know great astronomers have started from 😢 🔭🧪🎢 www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Indiana University To Discontinue More Than 100 Academic Programs

Indiana University-Bloomington is ending 116 academic programs in a restructuring that comes after Indiana passed a law requiring a review of low-enrollment programs.

#PPOD: Naturally erupting dust streaks on Mars create structures that look surprisingly like trees near the planet's north pole. These streaks are actually dark basaltic sand pushed to the surface of sand dunes by sun-heated solid carbon dioxide ice, or dry ice, sublimating directly into vapor. 🧪 🔭
A picture of the Martian surface shows reddish dunes and what appear to be trees sticking up from them. The trees are dark streaks of basaltic sand pushed to the surface via sublimating dry ice.

Venus and Pleaides July 1, 2025 from Crestone, Colorado USA Thin clouds magnify Venus into a mystical orb, clothed in the pink gauze of dawn. 🔭 📷 #astrophotography
The sky is dark, Venus rises over the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains, magnified by a thin layer of clouds. Pleiades is left and up a little from Venus. The sky is full of stars. The lights of Crestone and Baca Grande homes sprinkle the foreground. There is some light pollution visible on the left from the Front Range.
The sky is lightening up and appears a beautiful shade of blue. Many stars are still visible. Venus is higher now over the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains, magnified by a thin layer of clouds that are turning a nice shade of orange/pink. Pleiades is left and up a little from Venus. The lights of Crestone and Baca Grande homes sprinkle the foreground.

M27 imaged over June 22-23, two clear nights in a very cloudy month. The Dumbbell shape (L/R here) is apparent in even in small scopes. With my 15" and a dark sky, I can see the more delicate parts above and below. It's all greenish gray in the eyepiece, of course. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography
A planentary nebula, Messier 27 fills the center tenth to an eighth of the field of view, surrounded by a dense starfield against a black background. The nebula is mostly blue-green (from the O-3 emission) but there is some pink from hydrogen emission. The famous dumbbell shape is formed left-right in the image, with the outer edges of the blue-green dumbbell (which is the brightest part of the nebula) tinged pink. An X of pink nodules crosses the bright dumbbell part. Above and below the dumbbell, filling in the missing space to make the nebula more circular, is lacy blue-greenish nebula. The bottom edge is, again, tinged pink. A very faint green and pink arc surrounds the bright nebula at center, the result of an earlier outgassing from the central star. 

The image was made with a Celestron 8 Schmidt Cassegrain working at f/7, a ZWO ASI2600MC camera, and an Optolong L-Quad light pollution filter from within the city limits of Winston-Salem, NC. The image is the result of a stack of 90 5 minute exposures processed in Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop. No AI was involved, it's all real data.
