The South Pole Telescope: stars, AGN, and the CMB, oh my!
Ever wondered what science gets done at the South Pole? It turns out that many astrophysics and cosmology experiments end up there!
Modeling the structure of the circumgalactic bathtub
Do galaxies turn into raisins when they sit in the bath too long? Today’s authors investigate what their bath is like!
Finding our Long-Lost Twins: Can JWST Distinguish Between other Earths… and other Venuses?
Venus may be quite similar in size and mass as Earth, but its surface conditions could not be any more different! Can a modern space telescope like JWST identify the difference between an exoEarth and an exoVenus?
Meet the AAS 243 keynote speakers: Prof. Marta Bryan
We interviewed Prof. Marta Bryan from the University of Toronto to learn all about exoplanets ahead of her plenary talk at #AAS243!
Watching a Star Circle the Supermassive Drain
Black holes are powerful enough to rip apart stars caught in their orbit– but we’ve seen the signals from a few of these disruptive events repeat. What happens when a black hole only eats part of a star?
Searching for stars at the beginning of the Universe
We may or may not be able to observe the first stars directly, but today’s authors show that’s not the only way to learn about them!
