It's going to be really amazing how we look at the universe in 10 years because of JWST.

Excited to read future print editions of textbook analysis of this new data. It will take quite a while to decipher and test repeated observations for revised and more complete ΛCDM cosmology along with emerging discoveries at CERN on the Standard Model.


And then there are already plans forming for a Super Hubble telescope type mission to launch in the 2040s! JWST is a Spitzer type IR telescope.

New comet – C/2023 A3 – could be bright in 2024

Astronomers have found a new comet! They’ve labeled it C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). And it’s something to look forward to, as it makes its closest approach to the sun (its perihelion) more than a year from now. So, the bad news is it’s not until 2024! But the good news is that early estimates of the comet’s brightness suggest it’ll be bright!

Perihelion for this comet will come on September 28, 2024. At that point, some estimates are suggesting it might be around magnitude 0.7. That brightness rivals some of the brightest stars in the sky.

Image
The turquoise line represents the path of Comet C/2023 A3 into the inner solar system. The comet will be closest to the sun on September 28, 2024, and closest to Earth in October 2024.

Amateur astrophotographers in the Northern Hemisphere may start getting good images of the approaching comet by early June 2024, as the visitor glides by the constellation of Virgo.

Its closest approach to Earth comes on October 13, 2024. At that point, it could be bright enough to reach magnitude -0.2.
As it passes between Earth and the sun, forward scattering could make the comet appear even brighter. The reflection of sunlight off the dust and ice could enhance its light in our direction, making it brighten considerably, up to magnitude -5. That is, if it survives (and does not burn up in the sun or break apart).

A massive Milky Way survey

The impressive new image covers 13,000 times the area of the full moon viewed from Earth and contains an immense number of newly-discovered stars, nebulae, and other space objects.

"We simply pointed at a region with an extraordinarily high density of stars and were careful about identifying sources that appear nearly on top of each other," explained Andrew Saydjari, a graduate student at Harvard University and lead author of a paper detailing the new observation in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement. "Doing so allowed us to produce the largest such catalog ever from a single camera, in terms of the number of objects observed."

Nasa has named the four astronauts who will take humanity back to the Moon, after a 50-year gap.
Christina Koch will become the first woman astronaut ever assigned to a lunar mission, while Victor Glover will be the first black astronaut on one. They will join Reid Wiseman and Jeremy Hansen to fly a capsule around the Moon late next year or early in 2025.
The astronauts won't land on the Moon, but their mission will pave the way for a touchdown by a subsequent crew.

Should have been at least two women. A moon mission is long. 4 days each way, maybe 2 days on the surface.

Ongoing experiment: Using JWST to measure the Hubble Constant (H0) by observing a Supernova event through a highly gravitational lensed cluster.

SN H0pe: Independent Measurement of H0 by the Time Delay of a Multiply-imaged Supernova

These are images from this observation that scientists are currently analyzing. Looking forward to reading the published paper and if they get the same current value!

Hmmmn with the extra sensitivity, they might be able to 'refine' the values for dark energy snd matter.

The Solar Maximum is approaching to peak around end of 2024 into 2025. The Sun's magnetic poles become increasingly disordered and then flip at the Maximum and sets off what is essentially bad space weather. Lots of sunspots and mass plasma ejections from now until then like space hurricane season.

Plenty speculations of this space weather majorly affecting the global electrical grids, comms and satellites, even most of the internet going dark if a big ejection happens. In Feb 2022 SpaceX lost 38 of 49 launched Starlink satellites because of this.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a tightly bound pair of actively forming stars, known as Herbig-Haro 46/47, in high-resolution near-infrared light.

Then this feature was noticed. Pareidolia from our particular angle.

The object very far away. Maybe some sort of gravitational lensing at the center as two galaxies are in the billion years process of colliding with each other.

India's Chandrayaan-3 becomes 1st probe to land near lunar south pole
India has joined the moon-landing club.

The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft touched down softly near the moon's south pole today (Aug. 23), notching a huge milestone for the nation. India is now the fourth country to stick a lunar landing, after the United States, the former Soviet Union and China.

The historic touchdown occurred at 8:33 am ET (1233 GMT or 6:03 p.m. India Standard Time), according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). "We have achieved soft landing on the moon! India is on the moon!" ISRO chairman Sreedhara Somanath announced after the landing.
