NASAâ??s Webb Catches Fiery Hourglass as New Star Forms
NASAâ??s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the once-hidden features of the protostar within the dark cloud L1527, providing insight into the beginnings of a new star. These blazing clouds within the Taurus star-forming region are only visible in infrared light, making it an ideal target for Webbâ??s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam).

The protostar itself is hidden from view within the â??neckâ? of this hourglass shape. An edge-on protoplanetary disk is seen as a dark line across the middle of the neck. Light from the protostar leaks above and below this disk, illuminating cavities within the surrounding gas and dust.

I absolutely loved that series. There were some longer episodes that were a little much to sit through, but overall it was fantastic.

I should go and stream it again from HBO Max. I haven't watched it since it debuted.
 
It's too bad one of our space exploration billionaire's has decided social media is more important. I guess getting to Mars was too easy for him.

And that's why I'm 100% against a full privatization of space programs. Keep NASA a Government bureaucracy.

Ground broken on SKAO.

The SKA-Mid array in Karoo wil scan the sky for sources of radio waves in the middle frequency range from 350 MHz to 15.4 GHz using 197 dishes, each 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter. The SKA-Low array in Australia will rely on 131,072 dipole antennas to detect radio waves of frequencies between 50 to 350 MHz.
