A Return to Your Regularly Scheduled Touch-And-Go: Sols 4130-4131
Pasadena, CA (JPL) Mar 19, 2024
It was a fairly calm planning day after a few weeks of activity at Mineral King, with a familiar touch-and-go plan. That's not the only thing that's back to normal - ENV has ended our dust storm watch as dust activity has calmed down to seasonal levels. We even have a (slightly hazy) view of the crater rim again (see above)!
After leaving Mineral King behind we were greeted by a new worksp

New Map Unveils the Cosmic Tapestry of 1.3 Million Quasars
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 19, 2024
In an astronomical feat, scientists have created the most expansive map yet of the universe's supermassive black holes, known as quasars, marking a significant leap in our understanding of these cosmic behemoths. The map reveals the location of approximately 1.3 million quasars, with the most distant ones illuminating the cosmos at a time when it was just 1.5 billion years old, a stark contrast

Hubble views dwarf galaxy LEDA 4216
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows LEDA 42160, a galaxy about 52 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The dwarf galaxy is one of many forcing its way through the comparatively dense gas in the massive Virgo cluster of galaxies. The pressure exerted by this intergalactic gas, known as ram pressure, has dramatic effects on star formation in LEDA 42160.
