In order to see the faint light from objects in deepest space, astronomers go to the darkest places on the planet. In order to listen to their quite radio signals, they head as far from any radio-noisy humans as possible. But there’s nowhere on the earth, or even orbiting the Earth, that’s far enough to hear to the faint radio hum from the time before stars. In fact, we may need to build a giant radio telescope in the quietest place in the solar system—the far side of the moon.

Tour: A Fab Five: New Images With NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory
A new collection of images features data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. These objects have been observed in invisible light — including X-rays, infrared, and radio — by some of the most powerful telescopes. Each layer represents data that has been assigned colors that the human eye can perceive, allowing us to explore these cosmic entities.
The objects in this quintet of images range both in distance and category. Vela and Kepler are the mesmerizing remains of exploded stars within our own Milky Way galaxy, the center of which can be seen in the top panorama. In NGC 1365, we see a double-barred spiral galaxy located about 60 million light-years from Earth. Farther away and on an even larger scale, ESO 137-001 shows what happens when a galaxy hurtles through space and leaves a wake behind it.
Let’s take a closer look at each one.
The Galactic Center is about 26,000 light-years years from Earth, but telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory allow us to visit virtually. The center of the Milky Way contains a supermassive black hole, superheated clouds of gas, massive stars, neutron stars, and much more.
By combining data from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (or “ix-pee” as it’s known for short), Chandra, and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, researchers are probing Vela, the aftermath of a star that collapsed and exploded and now sends a remarkable storm of particles and energy into space. IXPE shows the average orientation of the X-rays with respect to the jet in this image.
The center of the spiral galaxy NGC 1365 contains a supermassive black hole being fed by a steady stream of material. Some of the hot gas revealed in the X-ray image from Chandra will eventually be pulled into the black hole. The Chandra image has been combined with infrared data from Webb.
The Kepler supernova remnant is the remains of a white dwarf that exploded after undergoing a thermonuclear explosion. Chandra shows a powerful blast wave that ripped through space after the detonation, while infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and optical light from Hubble show the debris of the destroyed star.
As the galaxy moves through space at 1.5 million miles per hour, it leaves not one — but two — tails behind it. These tails trailing after ESO 137-001 are made of superheated gas that Chandra detects in X-rays. ESO’s Very Large Telescope shows light from hydrogen atoms, which have been added to the image along with optical and infrared data from Hubble.

World's largest telescope dome takes shape | ELT updates
The dome of ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) begins to take shape. This is the largest telescope dome ever build.
The structure is about 88 metres in diameter and nearly 80 metres high, giving the dome a footprint roughly equivalent to that of a football pitch.
The giant ELT dome will house the telescope and its interior structure, providing protection from the extreme environment of Chile's Atacama Desert.

How to Find the Fish Hook Asterism in the Scorpius Constellation
The Fish Hook asterism, also known as the Fishhook or Maui's Fishhook, is a recognizable and culturally significant star pattern in the southern hemisphere's night sky. It is not a traditional constellation in Western astronomy but is more of an asterism, a smaller, non-officially recognized star grouping within a larger constellation. The Fish Hook is typically associated with the constellation Scorpius.

Multiwavelength Astronomy: The Big Picture
Until the 20th century, astronomers learned virtually all they knew about sources in the sky from only the tiny fraction of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the eye.
However, as astronomers have discovered how to collect radiation outside this part of the spectrum, they have been able to learn much more about the universe. Many objects reveal different aspects of their composition and behavior at different wavelengths. Other objects are completely invisible at one wavelength, yet are clearly visible at another.
In this video, Dr. Padi Boyd explains the exciting future of multiwavelength astronomy and how important Hubble is to exploring the mysteries of the universe. For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

SETI Live: Introducing FIRST - A Game-Changer in Telescope Technology!
We will present the first on-sky demonstration of the Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope (FIRST) instrument at the Subaru Telescope. Using techniques of aperture masking and spatial filtering, FIRST combines the power of spectro-interferometry to deliver high contrast capabilities and spatial resolutions beyond the reach of traditional coronagraphic instruments.
We will explain the 'pupil remapping' technique - the heart of the FIRST instrument - and its practical applications. This process divides the telescope pupil into sub-pupils, enabling simultaneous measurements of all baseline fringe patterns. Our researchers tested this instrument on two types of targets: a point source (Keho'oea - α Lyrae) and a binary system (Hokulei - α Aurigae), achieving a contrast and stability sufficient to study the close surrounding of those stars.
The successful demonstration of FIRST signifies a significant step forward for future interferometric instrumentation on extremely large telescopes, opening new observing capabilities in the visible wavelength range at the Subaru Telescope.

New study claims Betelgeuse supernova IMMINENT (decades not centuries!) | Night Sky News June 2023
To transform the way you work with digital notes and get organised, check out the reMarkable 2 paper tablet here: https://bit.ly/3JMNLmp
In this month's Night Sky News we're chatting about a new study claiming Betelgeuse will be going supernova in the next few DECADES, JWST’s discovery of water on a rare type of comet, JWST’s study of the plumes of water from Saturn’s moon Enceladus, and much more.

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com

Summer 2023 Night Sky Stargazing Tips | Skywatch Wednesday | Adler Planetarium
Your summertime stargazing guide has arrived, just in time for the solstice on June 21! Learn all about how to spot stars, planets, and constellations in the northern hemisphere’s summer night sky.
Use the summer triangle, a grouping of three stars, to find constellations like Lyra, Cygnus, and Aquila. You can use zodiac constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius to spot our galaxy, the Milky Way, in dark night skies! Venus becomes the Morning Star, and you’ll even get a chance to see Mars in its crescent phase.

Skywatch Wednesday is a production of the Adler Planetarium—the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
