The brilliant light detected by NASA’s James Webb Telescope (JWST) three billion light years from Earth is believed to be the first $10 billion scope observation of a dying star’s explosion. Officially known as a supernova, it is the ‘last hurray’ that occurs when a star runs out of fuel. This causes the pressure to drop, where the cosmic object expands to at least five times the mass of our sun – which is about 333,000 Earths in size – and then explodes, releasing tons of debris and particles. A stellar explosion occurred in the galaxy SDSS.J141930.11+5251593, where a JWST image showed an object’s light dimming in the span of five days – a clue that fueled the supernova theory. Also of interest is the fact that JWST was not designed to find and detect new transients, Mike Engesser of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), told Inverse, which first reported the discovery.

The near side of Earth’s Moon, as seen using data from the camera aboard the Lunar robot. owned by NASA … [+] Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Arizona State University NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter (LRO) has discovered a crater hole near the Moon’s Sea of ​​Tranquility at room temperature. An LRO onboard thermal imager found that a 328-foot depression about the length and width of a football field had overshadowed an area that maintained a constant, cool temperature of around 63 degrees Fahrenheit. The hope is that future astronauts will be able to use such a hole as a shelter from the extreme temperatures of the lunar surface that can fluctuate between 260 degrees Fahrenheit on lunar days and cold to minus 280 degrees Fahrenheit on lunar nights. First discovered on the Moon in 2009, such holes, subsurface lava tunnels, and caves can also offer protection from cosmic rays, solar radiation, and micrometeo...

Neutron star collisions are an opportunity to see what’s inside these incredible objects Astronomers have for the first time been able to detect collisions with dead suns known as neutron stars, thanks to a powerful new telescope. Neutron star collisions are key to our understanding of the Universe. They are thought to have created the heavy metals that formed the stars and planets like us billions of years ago. The light from the collision was only visible for a few nights so telescopes had to race to find it. Astronomers observed one of these collisions in 2017, but most found it by luck. The British Gravity Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO), located above the clouds on the Spanish volcanic island of La Palma will now systematically hunt them down. “When the really good detection comes along, everything has to be done to the max,” Prof Danny Steeghs, from the University of Warwick, told me in La Palma. “Speed ​​is of the essence. We are looking for somethi...

People’s attitudes towards vaccines can now be detected from their social media posts with a smart AI model, developed by researchers at the University of Warwick. An AI-based model can analyze social media posts and determine the author’s attitude towards vaccines, by being ‘trained’ to recognize that attitude from a small number of sample tweets. As a simple example, if a post contains mention of distrust of health care institutions, fear of needles, or something related to a known conspiracy theory, the model can recognize that the person who wrote it may have negative feelings about vaccinations. The research, funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will be presented today (12 July) at the North American Association of Computational Linguistics Annual Conference 2022. It is led by Professor Yulan He from the University’s Department of Computer Science, supported by a 5-year Turing AI Fellowship funded by the EPSRC. Professor He and his colleagues a...
