Scientists Release Biggest 2D Map of the Universe | NOIRLab
https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2620/
The new DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys map serves as the foundation for the largest-ever 3D map of the Universe, used to investigate dark energy
"The newest DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys map, 13 years in the making, covers three-quarters of the sky and catalogs nearly four billion objects. This treasure trove is available to all and contains stars, galaxies, supernovae, gravitational lenses, and much more. Two NSF NOIRLab facilities contributed data to the map: the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Mayall telescope and the NSF Blanco telescope, equipped with the U.S. Department of Energy-fabricated DECam. …
"The Legacy Surveys’ data will also help scientists train artificial intelligence tools to analyze petabytes of astronomical data and accelerate new discoveries. It will be among the datasets used in an astrophysics pilot project within the American Science Cloud, part of the DOE’s Genesis Mission. ..."

Astronomers Discover a Brand-New Type of Object: Part Black Hole, Part Star
Credit: Jose-Luis Olivares/MIT At the cosmic dawn, the universe was sprinkled with giant black holes—monstrosities so huge that scientists are still struggling to explain how they could have even existed. The answer may lie in a never-before-seen object from this cosmic era. In a paper published today in Nature, astronomers report the discovery of an extremely unusual, bright spot of red from the early universe. Externally, it looks like an enormous star about the size of the entire solar […] -

Colour me impressed 👍
Beautiful new visible-light images from the DKIST solar telescope in Hawai'i, showing structures on the Sun down to 19km (26 milliarcsec) in size.
These scalloped plasma structures are small-scale magnetised Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities – these have long been theorised & could explain the transport of heat, mass, & magnetic fields from the Sun's surface into the extremely hot corona.

While scientists predict the Sun will eventually expand into a red giant and swallow Mercury and Venus, a fascinating new study reveals that Earth might just drift outward and escape being engulfed. The catch? All life will still likely end billions of years before that happens! Read more: https://phys.org/news/2026-08-earth-habitable-sun-dies.html

Black Holes are Mysterious, Yet Also Deceptively Simple
NASA/JPL Physicists consider black holes one of the most mysterious objects that exist. Ironically, they’re also considered one of the simplest. For years, physicists like me have been looking to prove that black holes are more complex than they seem. And a newly approved European space mission called LISA will help us with this hunt. Research from the 1970s suggests that you can comprehensively describe a black hole using only three physical attributes – their mass, charge and […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/07/18/black-holes-are-mysterious-yet-also-deceptively-simple/

Während wir hier in Bonn schwitzen ☀️, arbeiten unsere Empfänger an Radioteleskopen unter nahezu „kosmischen Bedingungen“: Sie sind dem absoluten Nullpunkt sehr nahe ❄️.
Damit wir „hören” können, was das Universum uns sendet 📡, werden zentrale Teile der Empfänger auf etwa -260 °C gekühlt 🧊. Diese kryogenen Systeme gehören zu den Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) und Receiver-Komponenten der Electronics Division am MPIfR.
Ihre Aufgabe ist es, kosmische Radiosignale zu verstärken, ohne dass diese im eigenen elektronischen Rauschen untergehen 📉. Das Ergebnis sind Empfänger, die so empfindlich sind, dass selbst die schwächsten Signale aus dem All messbar werden 🌌.
Zum Vergleich: Ein Smartphone würde auf dem Mond im Radiobereich ein deutlich messbares Signal erzeugen 📱🌕 – und wäre damit im Vergleich zu vielen astrophysikalischen Quellen sehr stark.
