The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the “Big Wheel,” a massive spiral galaxy 11.7 billion light-years away, dramatically altering concepts of early galaxy formation. This galaxy, five times the Milky Way’s mass, challenges existing cosmological models about galaxies just two billion years post-Big Bang. Characterized by a red core and spanning 100,000 light-years, the…
Blue Origin’s upcoming April 14th mission will have its first all-female crew, with notable figures such as Olivia Munn, Katy Perry, and Gayle King onboard.

Astronomers discovered a supermassive black hole within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This black hole, with a mass 600,000 times that of the Sun, was identified by tracking hypervelocity stars using the ESA’s Gaia satellite. The movements of these stars, propelled to high speeds, pointed to the influence of…
The aurora borealis is expected to be visible further south in the U.S. due to a geomagnetic storm. NOAA predicts a geomagnetic Kp index of 4, indicating a broader reach of the Northern Lights. The phenomenon is triggered by solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m….
