ESO<p>Supermassive black hole caught playing with its food!</p><p>The supermassive black hole at the centre of galaxy NGC 4945 is swallowing huge amounts of matter. Yet, contrary to a black hole’s all-consuming reputation, our Very Large Telescope (VLT) has caught it blowing out powerful winds of material. </p><p>This cone-shaped wind is shown in red in the inset image. In fact, the wind is moving so fast that it will end up escaping the galaxy altogether, lost to the void of intergalactic space.</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2513a/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eso.org/public/images/potw2513</span><span class="invisible">a/</span></a></p><p>📷 ESO/C.

Dr. John Barentine FRAS<p>New JWST image just dropped.</p><p>This object is called Herbig-Haro 49/50. It's the outflow of a still-forming star hidden from view to the lower right of the orangish cone of material oriented diagonally in this image.</p><p>As stars form they eject excess matter in the direction of their poles of rotation. That material encounters the interstellar medium in the vicinity and lights up in response. "Like the wake of a speeding boat, the bow shocks in this image have an arc-like appearance as the fast-moving jet from the young star slams into the surrounding dust and gas."</p><p>Purely by coincidence, the outflow lines up with a distant background galaxy, which is the circular pinkish/blue object at upper left. </p><p>More info about the image: <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-telescope-unmasks-true-nature-of-the-cosmic-tornado/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">science.nasa.gov/missions/webb</span><span class="invisible">/nasas-webb-telescope-unmasks-true-nature-of-the-cosmic-tornado/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Stars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stars</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/StarFormation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarFormation</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astrophysics</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/JWST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JWST</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/SpaceTelescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceTelescope</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Clara Sousa-Silva: A couple of weeks ago, I went to look at climate monitoring data that’s collected from ground-based monitoring stations, including one on Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Mauna Loa is the mountain next to Mauna Kea where my telescopes are. We use the Mauna Loa data, which is NOAA Climate Data Record program data, to obtain information about what the sky looks like so that we can remove it from our own data.</p><p>But all the data was gone. So I contacted my colleagues who are climate scientists, who basically do the same work as I do, but instead of doing it on atmospheres beyond Earth, they do it for Earth. They started panicking because lots of data was missing, specifically all the CO₂ data was missing.</p><p>We then learned that there had been some scheduled maintenance of some databases, but even after the databases came back online, there was still stuff missing intermittently. At one point, a lot of the greenhouse gases data was missing. Then they came back, but not CO₂. Then CO₂ came back.</p><p>I contacted my colleagues who use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data, and they reported the same thing — their repositories were not accessible. I found out from my colleagues who work at NOAA that there hadn’t been a centralized effort to safeguard this data, which means the only access people have is through online databases. If those become disconnected, even if the data is not deleted, it basically becomes useless."</p><p><a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/climate-data-noaa-musk-doge/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/03/climate-da</span><span class="invisible">ta-noaa-musk-doge/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClimateData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateData</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClimateScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateScience</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astrophysics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenScience</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a></p>

Juan Carlos Muñoz<p>When I was born we hadn't found planets orbiting other stars. Now we can measure their weather with incredible detail.</p><p>And WASP-121b, a hot gas giant orbiting a star 900 light-years away, has a fascinating multi-layered weather pattern, now unveiled in 3D with ESO's Very Large Telescope. You shouldn't vacation there, though: it's scorching hot and super windy!</p><p>More info: <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2504/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">eso.org/public/news/eso2504/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astrodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astrophysics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a></p>
