Will You Still Need Me? Now I’m sixty-four.

One more time around the Sun … could it ever get old?

Still, so much to say. Still, so much to do. Despite life’s grief, despite dashed expectations. I will always love us.

Where Does Cosmic Dust Come From? The JWST Provides an Answer July 11, 2025
Cosmic dust does far more than float through space. It's the raw material from which stars, planets and possibly even life emerge. Yet astronomers have long puzzled over where this vast amount of dust comes from and what it's made of.
Binary Stars Out of Sync: One Hosts a Giant Planet, While its Companion is Still Forming Planet July 11, 2025
A team of international researchers led by Tomas Stolker in the Netherlands has imaged a young gas giant exoplanet near a 12-million-year-old star. The planet is orbiting a star whose planet formation has finished, while a same-aged companion star in this double star system still has a planet-forming disk.
Breakthrough Listen Releases Results for 27 Eclipsing Exoplanets July 11, 2025
In a recent study, a team of astronomers examined 27 confirmed and candidate exoplanets identified by TESS for signs of radio transmissions during star-planet occultations. The purpose was to see if radio signals from these targets of interest (TOIs) were interrupted as they passed behind their stars, thereby indicating that they were artificial in origin.
Celebrate the JWST's Third Anniversary With This Stunning Image July 11, 2025
It's crazy to think that the JWST has already been working for three years. It's repeatedly impressed us not only with its powerful science observations, but also with stunning images that capture our interest even if we didn't know what we were seeing. Now, the telescope is celebrating its third anniversary with a glorious image […]
Observing the Dark Ages of the Universe from the Far Side of the Moon July 11, 2025
Shortly after the Big Bang, after the CMB was released, there was a time that's tricky to observe called Cosmic Dark Ages. Clouds of hydrogen could be detected at that time using a specific frequency of radio waves, but Earth's radiation introduces too much noise. Researchers are proposing a CubeSat called Cosmo Cube that could […]
