@nasa Happy that the first exoplanet discovered accidentally by Dale Frail and Aleksander Wolszczan in 1992 is included. They were not even mentioned when other #astronomers were awarded the Nobel prize for the discovery of exoplanets. And yet the discovery ended up showing exoplanets can show up in strange places.

The first results from ESO telescopes on the DART controlled impact on an asteroid are out! Two teams monitored the aftermath of the collision with two instruments at ESO's Very Large Telescope: MUSE, which breaks up light into its constituent colours, and FORS, which can study polarised light. Both observations provided clues about the composition of the material ejected after the impact.

Extraterrestrial #life has the potential to exist on distant #exoplanets inside the terminator zone, which is a ring on #planets that have one side that always faces its #star and one side that is always dark.
Such planets are common because they exist around stars that make up about 70 percent of the stars seen in the night sky—so-called M-dwarf stars, which are relatively dimmer than our sun.

Have been observing with Parkes on the graveyard shift most of this week, and to keep myself awake I spent a bit of time processing some data from #JWST target: Wolf-Rayet 124.
These stars are hot, massive stars with stellar winds that are literally shredding the star's outer layers, creating this massive, beautiful and bright nebula. They're also some of the hottest stars known and are precursors to violent supernova events This one is about 15,000 light-years away.
The two different instruments on the JWST sees different features, and so we see different structures of this ferocious star. To generate these, I used four base tones in each and stacked as best I could.
On the left is the NIRCAM instrument, with filter F444W. On the right is the MIRI instrument with filter F1800W.

Did you know that water on Earth could be older than the Sun? Using ALMA, astronomers have found a new piece in this puzzle.
We know how water goes from proto-stellar clouds to young stars, and then from comets to planets, but the link between them was missing.
ALMA spotted gaseous water in the disc around the star V883 Ori. Turns out that the composition of this water is very similar to that of comets in our Solar System!
