Bursts of star formation explain mysterious brightness at cosmic dawn
Evanston IL (SPX) Oct 04, 2023
When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) first images of the universe's earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature to have formed so soon after the Big Bang. It would be like an infant growing into an adult within just a couple years.
The startling discovery even caused some physicists to question the stand

Light rocks on deck, gray rocks in the hole: Sols 3966-3697
Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 04, 2023
Earth planning date: Wednesday, October 2, 2023: HiRISE images of Gale crater show that Curiosity is driving through a section of layered rocks on Mt. Sharp, and the layers consist of alternating bands of light and gray/dark rocks. What causes the color variation of these rocks that makes this terrain look banded from orbit?
It may relate to differences in the composition or chemistry of t

A prehistoric cosmic airburst preceded the advent of agriculture in the Levant
Santa Barbara CA (SPX) Oct 04, 2023
Agriculture in Syria started with a bang 12,800 years ago as a fragmented comet slammed into the Earth's atmosphere. The explosion and subsequent environmental changes forced hunter-gatherers in the prehistoric settlement of Abu Hureyra to adopt agricultural practices to boost their chances for survival.
That's the assertion made by an international group of scientists in one of four relat

New center will lay groundwork for better space weather forecasts
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Oct 04, 2023
A new center led by CU Boulder will undertake research to make the region of space between Earth and the moon a little safer-potentially helping satellites navigate through this tumultuous and sometimes hazardous environment.
This summer, NASA announced that it had selected four Space Weather Centers of Excellence, including the Space Weather Operational Readiness Development (SWORD) cente

Massive low earth orbit communications satellites could disrupt astronomy
London, UK (SPX) Oct 04, 2023
Observations of the BlueWalker 3 prototype satellite show it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, outshining all but the brightest stars.
Astronomers have raised concerns that without mitigation, groups of large satellites could disrupt our ability to observe the stars from Earth and perform radio astronomy.
Several companies are planning 'constellations' of satellites -

SpaceX aims for its 50th Space Coast launch this year
SpaceX is targeting its 50th Space Coast launch of the year with another Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
A Falcon 9 carrying 22 of the company's Starlink satellites is slated for liftoff from Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40 at 10:45 p.m. with four backup opportunities from 11:38 p.m. until 1:57 a.m. overnight and six backup opportunities late Thursday from 10:29 p.m. until 1:49 a.m. early Friday.
Space Launch Delta 45's weather squadron forecasts a 50% chance for good conditions with 70% chance in event of a 24-hour delay.
The booster on this flight is making its eighth flight and will attempt a recovery landing on the droneship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean.
This would be SpaceX's 70th orbital launch of the year across all of its launch pads in Florida and California. It's the 40th from Cape Canaveral with the other 10 Space Coast launches coming from Kennedy Space Center.
SpaceX will have managed 50 of the 53 total Space Coast launches this year with two so far from United Launch Alliance and one from Relativity Space making up the rest.
