NASA engineers running the Voyager 2 spacecraft have successfully executed a power-switching strategy dubbed the “Big Bang,” extending the historic mission’s life into 2028 and delaying the shutdown of its Cosmic Ray System past the 2027 50th anniversary, according to a recent engineering update. Operating a spacecraft in interstellar space for nearly half a century … Read more
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered an extremely bright red spot in the early universe, designated MoM-BH*-1, which existed 660 million years after the Big Bang. Researchers propose this object is a new type of astrophysical entity: a young black hole swaddled in a dense, nearly dust-free hydrogen cocoon. When astronomers first … Read more
