Adventures of Space

This rounded object is not something seen through a microscope. Instead, it's a vast orb of gas in our space, cast off by an aging star and seen by the NASA's Hubble t elescope . The star is visible in the orb's center, shining through the gases it formerly held. image source:NASA

Combining the strength of various observatories spanning the globe and off-planet space telescopes, scientists have discovered 39 previously unknown ancient massive galaxies, as well as the revelation that billions of years ago, these galaxies were intimately connected through supermassive black holes. "This is the first time that such a large population of massive galaxies was confirmed during the first 2 billion years of the 13.7-billion-year life of the universe. These were previously invisible to us," says researcher Tao Wang of the University of Tokyo, who was involved with the study, in a press statement. "This finding contravenes current models for that period of cosmic evolution and will help to add some details, which have been missing until now."

For the first time, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered a distant planet within the zone of potential habitability. The planet is part of a trio orbiting a star known as GJ 357. Known as "GJ 357 d," NASA calls it"especially intriguing." "This is exciting, as this is TESS's first discovery of a nearby super-Earth that could harbor life—TESS is a small, mighty mission with a huge reach," says Lisa Kaltenegger, associate professor of astronomy, director of Cornell's Carl Sagan Institute, and a member of the TESS science team, in a press statement.
