Astronomers discover last three planets Kepler telescope observed before going dark — ScienceDaily
More than 5,000 planets are confirmed to exist beyond our solar system. Over half were discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, a resilient observatory that far outlasted its original planned mission. Over nine and a half years, the spacecraft trailed the Earth, scanning the skies for periodic dips in starlight that could signal the presence…

A closer look at galaxy M64’s outer disk shows that it came from a smaller dwarf galaxy
Bottom center : gri color mosaic of observations taken with Subaru HSC in the deepest of the three fields, Field 3. M64 is visible at the top of the field, which is ∼115 kpc across at its widest, with much of the diffuse brightness associated with the disk subtracted off as part of the reduction.…

Webb telescope finds towering plume of water escaping from one of Saturn’s moons
SwRI contributed to new Cycle 1 JWST findings that show the plume of water escaping from Saturn’s moon Enceladus extends 6,000 miles or more than 40 times the moon’s size. In light of this discovery, SwRI’s Dr. Christopher Glein was awarded a NASA JWST Cycle 2 allocation to study the plume as well as the…

Deriving a general expression for the bispectrum in cosmologies rules out most bouncing models
Top panel: The bouncing bispectrum computed with the numerical transfer functions (blue dots), fit to the bispectrum obtained in [23] (cyan) and the local bispectrum (yellow), for q = −0.7 (multiplication by fNL included). The bispectrum is plotted as a function of the product L ≡ l1l2l3, which allows plotting all values of the 3D…
