#Sun Undergoing Mysterious Change, Nobody Knows Why
#Astronomers discovered #magnetic activity in Sun is being squeezed into more tightly confined area under isurface, which has implications for #spaceweather forecasts and #heliophysics.
Using new tools, astronomers discovered a weird mismatch in surface and p-mode signals that emerged more than a decade ago and has become especially pronounced in the current epoch, Cycle 25, which began in 2019.

For years astronomers kept finding rocky planets in habitable zones and then discovering they were bare, airless cinders. LHS 1140b, announced Thursday in the journal Science, is the first one that isn’t: it has an atmosphere, a surface temperature that allows liquid water, and a quiet enough star to keep both

#VeraRubin #Telescope Begins Surveying Our Cosmos, the widest, deepest survey yet of the southern sky.
Telescope will drink in galaxies and stars, creating record of how objects streak, pulse and explode in our solar system and beyond.
#Astronomers expect data, known as Legacy Survey of Space and Time, to revolutionize knowledge of galaxy’s birth, invisible matter permeating cosmos, what shaped the universe into the structure it has today and more.
