Webb Detects Lyman-Apha Emission from Galaxy in Early Universe
The Lyman-apha light from JADES-GS-z13-1 has taken nearly 13.47 billion years to reach us, as it dates back to just 330 million years after the Big Bang. This image shows JADES-GS-z13-1 (the red dot at center), imaged with Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) as part of the JADES program. Image credit: NASA / ESA / CSA
100-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur and Crocodile Eggshell Fossils Unearthed in Utah
A team of paleontologists from Lake Forest College, Stellenbosch University, the University of Minnesota and North Carolina State University has described a new assemblage of fossil eggshells from the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, which is a renowned unit amongst scientists studying the early Late Cretaceous epoch. 100-million-year-old dinosaur eggshell fragments from the
New Pterosaur Species Discovered in China: Darwinopterus camposi

Cosmic Anomaly: Massive Spiral Galaxy is Ejecting Colossal Pair of Relativistic Jets
2MASX J23453268-0449256 (J2345-0449 for short), an extremely massive, rapidly rotating, jet-launching spiral galaxy approximately 947 million light-years in the constellation of Aquarius, harbors a supermassive black hole billions of times the Sun’s mass which is powering colossal radio jets stretching 6 million light-years across. That is one of the largest known for any spiral galaxy
Proxima Centauri Exhibits Extreme Flaring Activity, New ALMA Observations Show
Proxima Centauri’s flaring activity has been well known to astronomers using visible wavelengths, but new observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) highlight the star’s extreme activity at radio and millimeter wavelengths.
