The planet K2-18b has been hitting the headlines again this month with the claim of a tentative detection of something known as dimethyl sulphide (DMS) in its atmosphere from this paper by Madhusudhan et al. (2025) b7Q06j94j9U jwst-spots-the-most-distant-glow-of-hydrogen-ever-found JWST Spots the Most Distant Glow of Hydrogen Ever Found In this episode we’re chatting about all things James Webb Space Telescope. f2ksinw0nY0 jwst-shows-our-supermassive-black-hole-is-flickering JWST Shows Our Supermassive Black Hole is Flickering The supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is flickering - we know that thanks to observations taken in the past few years with the James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, which were published this month by Yusef-Zadeh and collaborators. SxcaeYdKTSA scishow-jwst-made-the-cosmological-crisis-worse SciShow | JWST Made The Cosmological Crisis Worse Astronomers have two main ways to calculate how fast the universe is expanding. Unfortunately, they don't agree with one another. The JWST was supposed to help solve this discrepancy, known as "The Hubble Tension" or "The Crisis in Cosmology". It may just have made it worse. YBWqrSa_p8c riddle-everything-nasa-learned-with-jwst-in-two-years Riddle | Everything NASA Learned with JWST in Two Years If everything we see is a certain amount of time in the past, is it not possible for life to exist at this current moment, but we can't observe them due to the speed of light? HJ8F0pfNTgM dr-becky-has-jwst-shown-that-dark-matter-doesnt-exist Dr. Becky | Has JWST Shown That Dark Matter Doesn’t Exist? We don’t yet understand the early Universe. And that’s not surprising because for a long time we weren’t able to observe the distant Universe, because telescopes couldn’t see that far. u8DRSqVjTVA jwst-finds-galaxy-where-the-gas-outshines-the-stars JWST finds Galaxy where the Gas Outshines the Stars?! Hello and welcome to this episode of Night Sky News for October 2024! -YtFL89p9VU explanation-of-the-3-biggest-jwst-discoveries-too-much-bs Explanation of the 3 Biggest JWST Discoveries | Too Much BS James Webb captures infrared light, which allows us to see billions of light years away. Some galaxies would not be visible otherwise, because their light has redshifted beyond visible light spectrum due to the universe’s expansion. y_UgkIFjj1o nasa-celebrates-jwst-telescope-anniversary-with-new-images NASA Celebrates JWST Telescope Anniversary t has been two years since NASA's James Webb telescope gave us a stunning first look at the depth of our universe. To commemorate the achievement, NASA has released new images showing two distant galaxies interacting with each other. 5esZGf3HjUw dr-becky-jwst-breaks-most-distant-galaxy-record-again Dr. Becky | JWST Breaks Most Distant Galaxy Record Again In this episode of Night Sky News for June 2024 we’re chatting about how to spot the Milky Way, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn in the sky this month, how on 5th July Earth reaches aphelion (its furthest distance from the Sun in its orbit). r0lGz73rluo did-jwst-really-find-evidence-of-life-on-this-exoplanet Did JWST Really find Evidence of Life on this Exoplanet? Back in 2023, we saw the first ever claim that JWST had discovered a possible signature of life in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, a planet orbiting another star in our galaxy the Milky Way. But the evidence for the claim that dimethyl sulphide exists in K2-18b’s atmosphere was weak. yKmPJmaeP8A dr-becky-has-jwst-solved-the-crisis-in-cosmology Dr. Becky | Has JWST Solved the Crisis in Cosmology? Last weekend the lead researcher of a group using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to calculate the current rate of expansion of the Universe (aka the Hubble constant, H0) presented their results for the first time at an American Physical Society meeting. UA-He0aIbJc has-jwst-found-evidence-for-the-first-stars-to-ever-form Has JWST found evidence for the First Stars to ever form? One of JWST’s main goals has always been to find evidence of the first stars to form in the Universe. xFWdq86kzC8 jwst-discovered-the-farthest-star-ever-seen JWST Discovered The Farthest Star Ever Seen In a groundbreaking revelation, the James Webb Space Telescope has brought us face-to-face with Earendel, the most distant star ever observed, whose light has journeyed over 12.9 billion years to reach us. rur6Mu5sqmU jwst-discovers-exoplanets-orbiting-dead-stars JWST Discovers Exoplanets Orbiting Dead Stars When stars like the Sun die do their planets survive? A-SyeJaMMjI incredible-new-jwst-images-of-19-galaxies Incredible New JWST Images of 19 Galaxies In this month’s night sky news episode we’re chatting about comet Pons Brooks, which might become a naked-eye comet, the European-Extremely Large Telescope in Chile moving its dome for the first time, ESA giving the go-ahead for the LISA gravitational wave detector, JWST finding a rare “dead” dwarf galaxy, and JWST revealing the dust structure in 19 galaxies in incredible detail. hxcUy-cBVcI did-jwst-solve-the-mystery-of-supermassive-black-hole-origins Did JWST Solve The Mystery of Mass Black Hole Origins? This is what we astronomers call a blob, or a smudge, if you want to get really technical. 3NeKR7bqolY jwst-rules-out-most-likely-culprit-for-crisis-in-cosmology JWST rules out most likely culprit for "Crisis in Cosmology" In this episode of Night Sky News we're chatting about the latest results from the AAS243 meeting including the Big Ring megastructure of galaxies, the most distant fast radio burst, and of course the latest from JWST on the "Crisis in Cosmology" (aka the Hubble Tension) which has ruled out the most likely culprit that we all had our money on. Is it time for some new physics? VDqdplEIXbE jwsts-big-debate-over-one-of-the-most-distant-galaxies-in-the-universe-gn-z11 JWST's Big Debate over One of the Most Distant Galaxies One of the most distant galaxies known GN-z11 has been observed many times by JWST in it’s first few years of observations but that data isn’t as clear cut as we hoped. Y7vTqEmlkvw dr-john-campbell-excess-deaths-20222023 Dr. John Campbell | Excess Deaths 2022/2023 Excess mortality and COVID-19 deaths, by week, for all OECD countries for which data are available. FjWwQEDq0KU jwst-shows-the-early-universe-is-different-than-we-thought JWST shows the early Universe is Different than we thought Remember those overmassive galaxies that JWST found that people claimed proved "the big bang never happened?" when in reality it was just that we couldn't explain how they'd got so big? 3DLylJZBBLo jwst-finds-most-distant-supermassive-black-hole-known JWST Finds Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole Known One of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics is how supermassive black holes form in the early Universe and grow to be SO supermassive. 2wXqDWYnWxk jwst-found-a-failed-supernova-did-it-form-a-black-hole JWST found A Failed Supernova | Did it form A Black Hole? Back in 2009 a star flared in brightness and then completely disappeared. The best explanation we had at the time was that the star had skipped supernova entirely and collapsed straight down into a black hole. HqwY0fz3daw jwst-just-found-a-fossil-from-the-early-universe-2023 JWST just Found a Fossil From the Early Universe (2023) In this episode, we will explore one of the most remarkable discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a massive and compact quiescent galaxy, which is a type of galaxy that stopped forming stars and is a possible ancestor of giant elliptical galaxies. F360SGAlI8Y did-jwst-find-a-marker-of-life-in-an-exoplanet-atmosphere Did JWST find a Marker of Life in an Exoplanet Atmosphere? There’s been a big claim of a marker of life, known as a biosignature, found using JWST in the atmosphere of an exoplanet known as K2-18b. s2gFkKDMdXg jwst-has-made-the-crisis-in-cosmology-worse-again JWST has made the "Crisis in Cosmology" Worse Again Night Sky News September 2023 NEMcflhdL60 jwst-finds-water-where-planets-are-forming-around-a-star JWST finds Water where Planets are Forming Around a Star In this month’s Night Sky News episode we’re chatting about the future of Voyager 2 after NASA briefly lost communications with it this month. aBYgck1zAgQ jwst-is-the-universe-twice-as-old-as-we-think-2023 JWST | Is the Universe Twice as Old as we Think? (2023) A new research study has come out claiming that to explain the massive galaxies found at huge distances in James Webb Space Telescope images, the Universe is older than we think, at 26.7 billion years (rather than 13.8 billion years old). LQSN7NDLi9s dr-becky-jwst-finds-most-distant-growing-supermassive-black-hole Dr. Becky | JWST Finds Most Distant Growing Black Hole In this month's Night Sky News we're celebrating 1 year of JWST science with the latest images released, and the news of the discovery of the most distant growing supermassive black hole.
