"Phew! NASA Rules Out Asteroid Smashup on the Moon in 2032" by @universetoday / @alanboyle - Astronomical observations of #asteroid #2024YR4, including from #NASA #WebbSpaceTelescope🔭 #JWST, refined its orbit estimate to rule out impact with the #Moon on its Dec 22, 2032 flyby. Possibility of Earth impact on that pass was already ruled out in April 2025. The 60m diameter rock would be a serious threat. https://www.universetoday.com/articles/phew-nasa-rules-out-asteroid-smashup-on-the-moon-in-2032 #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space

Gli astronomi esplorano il doppio nucleo della galassia NGC 4486B
#webbSpaceTelescope #hubble
@astronomiaUtilizzando il James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), un team internazionale di astronomi ha osservato una galassia ellittica nota come NGC 4486B. I risultati della campagna osservativa, pubblicati il 16 dicembre sul server preprint arXiv, forniscono importanti informazioni sulle proprietà del doppio nucleo di questa galassia.

"How can the James Webb Space Telescope see so far?" by @Spacecom / @TheConversationUS / @AdiFoord - #NASA #WebbSpaceTelescope is made to see infrared light because distant galaxies get red-shifted so far down by the distance that they drop out of the visible spectrum into infrared. Since heat also radiates in infrared, the telescope has to be kept extremely cold so its own structure doesn't interfere with observing faint distant galaxies. https://www.space.com/astronomy/james-webb-space-telescope/how-can-the-james-webb-space-telescope-see-so-far #JWST #astronomy #science

Hubble gaat het rustiger aan doen
Vierendertig jaar is een lange tijd voor een telescoop. Maar zo lang is het ervaren werkpaard van de NASA al actief. Toegegeven de Hubble werd tijdens het spaceshuttle tijdperk een aantal keren onderhouden door verschillende reparatiemissies.
