INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA's Webb Sees Galaxy Mysteriously Clearing Fog of Early Universe Release date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025 12:00:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time Unexpected, bright hydrogen emission caught astronomers by surprise. The early universe was filled with a thick fog of neutral hydrogen. Even though the first stars and galaxies emitted copious amounts of ultraviolet light, that light struggled to pierce the fog. It took hundreds of millions of years for the neutral hydroge ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA's Webb Captures Neptune's Auroras For First Time Release date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025 6:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Long-sought auroral glow finally emerges under Webb’s powerful gaze. Neptune lies in the frigid, dark, vast frontier of the outer edges of our solar system about 3 billion miles away from the Sun. It’s only been visited once by a spacecraft back in 1989, and since then, observatories like NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have tracked the pl ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA's Webb Telescope Unmasks True Nature of the Cosmic Tornado  Release date: Monday, March 24, 2025 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Webb’s exquisite details reveal a chance, random alignment of a protostellar outflow and a distant spiral galaxy. When peering out into space, we get a 2D view of a 3D universe. Sometimes, images will capture objects that appear close to each other on the sky, but are actually at wildly different distances and are unassociat ...Continue Reading
