ESO<p>Using ALMA, in which we are a partner, astronomers have found oxygen in the most distant known galaxy!</p><p>The galaxy, known as JADES-GS-z14-0, is so far away that we see it as it was when the Universe was less than 300 million years old, about 2% of its present age.</p><p>Researchers had thought that this early on the Universe was still too young to have galaxies ripe with heavy elements. Yet this record-breaking detection indicates that JADES-GS-z14-0 has about 10 times more heavy elements than expected, making scientists rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early Universe.</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2507/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">eso.org/public/news/eso2507/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>📷 ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/S.

Known to some as an analemma, the figure-eight curve was captured in exposures taken on the indicated dates only at 18:38 UTC from the exact same location south of Stephenville, Texas. The Sun's position on the 2024 solstice dates of June 20 and December 21 would be at the top and bottom of the curve and correspond to the astronomical beginning of summer and winter in the north. Points that lie along the curve half-way between the solstices would mark the equinoxes. The 2024 equinox on September 22, and in 2025 the equinox on March 20 (today) are the start of northern fall and spring. And since one of the exposures was made on 2024 April 8 from the Stephenville location at 18:38:40 UTC, this analemma project also reveals the solar corona in planet Earth's sky during a total solar eclipse.<br><br>Attribution: Hunter Wells<br><br> </span><a href="https://lemmy.world/c/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science@lemmy.world</a> <a href="https://beehaw.org/c/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science@beehaw.org</a> <a href="https://beehaw.org/u/space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@beehaw.org</a> <a href="https://lemmy.world/u/Space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@lemmy.world</a> <a href="https://lemmy.ml/c/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science@lemmy.ml</a> <a href="https://newsmast.community/@space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@newsmast.community</a> <a href="https://lemmy.ml/c/space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@lemmy.ml</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/space" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/science" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/nasa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nasa</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/astronomy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a></p>

Of course, from the Moon's near side that same astronomical syzygy was seen as a solar eclipse. Operating in the Mare Crisium on the lunar surface, the Blue Ghost lander captured this video frame of Earth in silhouette around 3:30am CDT, just as the Sun was emerging from behind the terrestrial disk. From Blue Ghost's lunar perspective the beautiful diamond ring effect, familiar to earthbound solar eclipse watchers, is striking. Since Earth appears about four times the apparent size of the Sun from the lunar surface the inner solar corona, the atmosphere of the Sun most easily seen from Earth during a total solar eclipse, is hidden from view. Still, scattering in Earth's dense atmosphere creates the glowing band of sunlight embracing our fair planet.<br><br>Attribution: <br><br> </span><a href="https://lemmy.world/c/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science@lemmy.world</a> <a href="https://beehaw.org/c/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science@beehaw.org</a> <a href="https://beehaw.org/u/space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@beehaw.org</a> <a href="https://lemmy.world/u/Space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@lemmy.world</a> <a href="https://lemmy.ml/c/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science@lemmy.ml</a> <a href="https://newsmast.community/@space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@newsmast.community</a> <a href="https://lemmy.ml/c/space" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@space@lemmy.ml</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/space" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/science" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/nasa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nasa</a> <a href="https://science.social/tags/astronomy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a></p>
