  2. I put together this video for #AnotherPlanet by #TheCreatures (#SiouxsieSioux & #Budgie) years ago. It's a bit disjointed and doesn't synch up with the music, but I sortakinda like it that way. Maybe some day I'll fix it up, but for now...

  7. 💥 ASTEROID COLLISION IN ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM 💥
    That famous “planet” near the bright star Fomalhaut? Not a planet. New Hubble data shows it — and a second object — are expanding debris clouds from massive asteroid collisions. Astronomers now think these smashups are far more common than models predicted. Space is rough out there.

  8. Doppelter Crash um Fomalhaut A. Staubring des nahen Sterns zeigt zum zweiten Mal in 20 Jahren einen plötzlich auftauchenden Lichtpunkt. #astronomie #Fomalhaut #Stern

  9. Astrónomos descubren que el exoplaneta Fomalhaut b nunca existió: era una nube de polvo tras una colisión masiva. Nuevas imágenes del Hubble y Webb revelan un sistema estelar violento similar a nuestro sistema solar joven.

  10. ALMA Reveals an Eccentricity Gradient in the Fomalhaut Debris Disk / High Resolution ALMA Data of the #Fomalhaut Debris Disk Confirms Apsidal Width Variation: arxiv.org/abs/2509.02884 / arxiv.org/abs/2509.02825 -> Neighboring Star’s Warped Ring Shaped by Evolving Planets: public.nrao.edu/news/neighbori - unusual shape of Fomalhaut’s debris ring shows evidence of sculpting by ancient planets, rewriting story of planetary system evolution.

  11. Today on the arXiv:

    Su et al. 2024, "Imaging of the Vega Debris System using JWST/MIRI" - arxiv.org/abs/2410.23636

    Wolff et al. 2024, "Deep Search for a scattered light dust halo around Vega with the Hubble Space Telescope" - arxiv.org/abs/2410.24042

    Presenting complementary observations that exclude any planets larger than Neptune around #Vega , down to below 6 Earth masses for some orbits, despite the debris disc.

    The authors compare to the case of #Fomalhaut .

  12. I'm in #Slovenia now (after and before stays in Austria): here are the Moon and #Saturn to its right and #Fomalhaut well below the pair as imaged yesterday evening with a cellphone from a vinery - na zdravje! - close to the Austrian border. See the thread nitter.net/cosmos4u/status/170 for more pictures from the ongoing also geography-rich trip (with superb weather thus far ... albeit many degrees °C above average for this time of year which OTOH is kinda scary, also for the locals).

  13. ALMA and Keck analysis of #Fomalhaut field sources - #JWST's Great Dust Cloud is a background object: arxiv.org/abs/2305.10480 -> "with unprecedented sensitivity comes a high probability that #planet candidates are actually background objects. Here, ALMA and Keck observations of Fomalhaut are found to show significant emission at the same sky location as multiple compact sources in JWST MIRI coronagraphic observations, one of which has been dubbed the 'Great Dust Cloud'".

  14. The star #Fomalhaut has not one, not two, but THREE asteroid belts? Way to go JWST! youtu.be/TnH8jgkDqwY (and thanks to @andrasgaspar and team!)

  15. The debris belts around Fomalhaut were imaged by the Hubble Telescope in 2008 -2012 and subsequently by ALMA, Herschel and Spitzer.

    Initially, a planet Fomalhaut b was suspected to exist in the outer ring. In 2012, two independent studies confirmed that Fomalhaut b is shrouded by debris, so it may be a gravitationally-bound pile of rubble rather than a proper planet.

  16. As we marvel at the image of the dusty debris belts around the young star Fomalhaut, published by the JWST recently (imaged in Oct 2022), let's take a look at images taken by other telescopes of this oft-studied star.
    Most prior images show just the outer belt; JWST discovered 2 more.
    These belts are most likely carved by gravitational forces of unseen planets.

  18. Another long thread about the saga of #Fomalhaut and its complicated dust environment: scicomm.xyz/@sundogplanets@mas has its focus in particular on the once claimed and then vanishing "planet" which Webb also doesn't see. (And if you want it all in a single graphic: twitter.com/aussiastronomer/st ... :-)

  19. Aufnahmen des #Webb-Teleskops zeigen, dass der vermeintliche Planet um #Fomalhaut gar kein Planet ist - sondern einer von mehreren ziemlich beeindruckenden Asteroidengürteln. winfuture.de/news,136108.html?

  20. Erinnert ihr euch noch an Saurons Auge a.k.a. #Fomalhaut, den hellsten Stern im Sternbild Südlicher Fisch mitsamt Staubscheibe und vermeintlichem Planeten, der sich später als in Auflösung begriffener Staubklumpen entpuppte...?

    Nun. Das #JWST sieht da mehr. Viel mehr. Keine Planeten zwar (die sind wohl nach wie vor im Staub verborgen), aber dafür nicht nur den großen äußeren, sondern auch einen zweiten inneren Asteroidengürtel

  21. Fische sind als Sternbild des Tierkreises bekannt, am Himmel aber sind sie unscheinbar. Viel auffälliger ist der Südliche Fisch, den kaum jemand kennt. In unseren Breiten fällt vor allem der Stern Fomalhaut auf. Sein Name bedeutet „Maul des Fisches“.
