Jennifer Reyes+FollowAsteroid Drama: Moon Takes the Hit?So, remember that 'city-killer' asteroid everyone was worried about? Turns out, it’s way more likely to bump into the Moon than crash into Earth. NASA’s James Webb Telescope helped clear things up: the risk to us is basically zero now, but there’s a tiny chance the Moon could get a new crater in 2032. No need to panic—our nightlight will be just fine! Space drama, but with no impact on your daily coffee run. #SpaceNews #AsteroidWatch #JamesWebb #Business #Industry10752Share
Michelle York+FollowSpace Sandstorms & 'Sandcastle' Planets?!The James Webb Space Telescope just spotted two wild exoplanets where it literally rains sand—one even has a 'sandcastle' vibe with a disk of building materials swirling around it. Both are gas giants orbiting a young star, and the sand clouds in their atmospheres are giving scientists major clues about how planets like Jupiter and Saturn formed. Imagine a world where it rains gritty sand instead of water! Anakin Skywalker would NOT approve. #SpaceNews #JamesWebb #Exoplanets #Science10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowPluto’s Secret Cooling Trick Revealed!Pluto’s not just a frozen rock—it’s got a wild way of staying cool! Instead of using gases like most planets, Pluto relies on haze particles in its thin atmosphere to regulate its temperature. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists just confirmed that these tiny haze bits absorb sunlight, rise, cool off, and sink again, creating a unique heat-balancing act. No other planet does it like this! Could other hazy worlds have the same secret? Mind blown! #Pluto #SpaceNews #JamesWebb #Science20Share
martinezlaura+FollowJWST Finds Wild Molecule on ‘Hell Planet’The James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a molecule in the atmosphere of WASP-121b—a gas giant so hot it rains molten iron! This is the first time silicon monoxide gas has ever been found in any planet’s atmosphere. WASP-121b’s day side hits 5,500°F, and it’s so close to its star, it could get ripped apart. Scientists say this wild discovery shows just how powerful JWST is for uncovering the secrets of extreme worlds. #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery #Exoplanets #Science170Share
megangibson+FollowJWST Just Found 'Hidden' Black Holes?!Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope just uncovered a whole new type of supermassive black hole hiding in the early universe! These aren’t the flashy quasars or the mysterious Little Red Dots—they’re something in between, cloaked in dust and invisible until now. Turns out, the universe was way busier with black holes than we thought. Could this be the missing link to understanding how these cosmic giants grew up? Mind. Blown. #JamesWebb #BlackHoles #SpaceDiscovery #Science100Share
Michael Flores+FollowJWST Just Found the Oldest Galaxy Yet!The James Webb Space Telescope is out here breaking its own records—again! It just spotted MoM-z14, the farthest galaxy ever seen, whose light started traveling only 280 million years after the Big Bang. That’s wild! This tiny, super-bright galaxy is making scientists rethink how early galaxies formed. The JWST keeps finding more of these ancient cosmic surprises, and honestly, it sounds like we’re just scratching the surface of what’s out there. Can’t wait to see what it finds next! #JamesWebb #SpaceNews #Astronomy #Science121Share
Tamara Jones+FollowTiny Galaxies Lit Up the Early Universe!Turns out, it wasn’t massive galaxies or black holes that flipped the switch on the early Universe—it was a bunch of tiny, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies! Thanks to the James Webb and Hubble telescopes, scientists found these little guys pumped out way more light than expected, clearing the cosmic fog and letting the first light shine through. Basically, the Universe’s first glow-up was powered by the underdogs. Who knew? #SpaceNews #CosmicDawn #JamesWebb #Science100Share
megangibson+FollowFrozen Water Found Around Baby Star!James Webb just spotted frozen water ice swirling around a young, sunlike star 155 light-years away! Scientists think these icy 'dirty snowballs' could one day deliver water to new planets forming there—just like comets may have done for early Earth. Basically, we’re watching the recipe for life play out in real time. How wild is it that a star only 23 million years old already has the building blocks for future oceans? #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery #WaterInSpace #Science60Share
Tamara Jones+FollowTRAPPIST-1: Water Worlds Out There?TRAPPIST-1’s planets just got way more interesting! New data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggests some of these distant worlds could be absolutely loaded with water—even more than Earth in some cases. Scientists used to think TRAPPIST-1 c was a Venus twin, but it might actually have water vapor and oxygen, possibly from volcanic activity. Some planets could even be ocean-covered, while others are more Mars-like. We’re still not sure if they’re livable, but the idea of watery worlds 40 light-years away is wild! #SpaceNews #TRAPPIST1 #WaterWorlds #JamesWebb #Astrobiology #Science02Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowTitan’s Clouds: JWST’s Wild New DiscoverySaturn’s moon Titan just got way more interesting! The James Webb Space Telescope snapped the first-ever pics of clouds forming in Titan’s northern hemisphere—right where its methane lakes and seas are. Scientists even found a new organic molecule in the mix (methyl radical, if you’re curious). Titan’s weather is eerily Earth-like, and NASA’s prepping the Dragonfly mission to actually land there in 2034. Imagine the discoveries waiting on this methane-soaked world! #SpaceNews #JamesWebb #Titan #Saturn #DragonflyMission #Science333Share
