martinezlaura+FollowUniverse’s First Light Decoded?Scientists just picked up a radio signal from over 13 billion years ago—basically the universe’s baby monitor! This 21-centimetre signal could finally spill the tea on how the first stars and galaxies lit up the cosmos. With new radio telescopes like REACH, we might soon know what those OG stars were really like (spoiler: they’re nothing like the ones we see today). Space nerds, this could change everything we know about our cosmic origins! #SpaceDiscovery #CosmicOrigins #Astrophysics #Science50Share
Tamara Jones+FollowTiny Galaxies, Huge Universe Glow-UpThe James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a bunch of tiny galaxies that might have totally transformed the early universe! These little guys pumped out so much ultraviolet light, they could’ve cleared the cosmic fog and made the universe transparent during the Era of Reionization. Imagine: galaxies so small you’d need thousands to match the Milky Way, but together, they lit up the cosmos. Proof that even the smallest things can make a massive impact! #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery #Galaxies #Science90Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowPlanetarium Show Uncovers Space SecretImagine working on a planetarium show and accidentally stumbling on a never-seen-before spiral structure in the Oort Cloud—way past Pluto! Scientists thought this cloud of comets was just a boring sphere, but turns out, it’s got wild spiral arms. The discovery happened because a weird projection popped up during the show, and even the experts were shook. Now, everyone’s rethinking what’s really out there in the far reaches of our solar system. Space is full of surprises! #SpaceDiscovery #OortCloud #ScienceNews #Science120Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowEarth Telescope Nails the ImpossibleScientists just pulled off what everyone thought was impossible: they caught the faint glow from the universe’s first stars—right from Earth! Usually, our atmosphere blocks this ancient light, but a special telescope in Chile’s Atacama desert finally picked up the signal. This means we’re getting a clearer picture of the universe’s baby years, which could totally change what we know about dark matter and cosmic history. Space telescopes, you’ve got competition! #SpaceDiscovery #CosmicDawn #Astronomy #Science21761Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDid We Just Find a Spiral in Space?!Scientists accidentally spotted a spiral structure in the Oort Cloud during a planetarium show, and it could totally change how we picture the edge of our solar system. The Oort Cloud was always thought to be a giant icy sphere, but new simulations show a hidden spiral—thanks to the galaxy’s gravity twisting things up! It’s all still super theoretical, but if true, it could reshape our understanding of comets, the solar system, and maybe even the origins of life. Wild, right? #SpaceDiscovery #OortCloud #ScienceNews #Science20Share
megangibson+FollowGalaxies Bigger Than Your ImaginationAstronomers just found 15 new Giant Radio Galaxies, and they’re so massive our Milky Way would fit inside the biggest one over 100 times! These cosmic beasts, discovered with Australia’s ASKAP telescope, stretch up to 12.4 million light-years wide. One even has a wild double-lobed structure, like a space nesting doll. Scientists think black holes at their centers keep firing up, making these galaxies grow even bigger. Space is officially flexing on us! #SpaceDiscovery #RadioGalaxies #Astronomy #Science481Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowMillions of Hidden Space Rocks Revealed!Get ready for a wild space reveal: a new observatory in Chile is about to uncover millions of hidden asteroids, comets, and ancient space rocks in our solar system. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will scan the sky with the biggest digital camera ever, basically doubling our asteroid count in a year (it took 225 years to find the first 1.5 million!). We’re talking new clues about how planets formed—and way better asteroid defense for Earth. Space nerds, this is huge! #SpaceDiscovery #RubinObservatory #Asteroids #Science100Share
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 #Science160Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowNew Super-Earth Found in ‘Goldilocks Zone’Scientists just found a Super-Earth chilling in the habitable zone of its star using a brand new alien-hunting technique! This planet, Kepler-725c, is 10x Earth’s mass and orbits in the perfect spot for life—aka the ‘Goldilocks zone.’ The wild part? They spotted it by tracking tiny timing changes in another planet’s orbit. This could be a game-changer for finding more Earth-like worlds. Is Earth 2.0 out there? Stay tuned! #SpaceDiscovery #SuperEarth #AlienHunting #Science110Share
Tamara Jones+FollowSpace Just Got WAY WetterScientists just found a massive cloud of water vapor around a young star 450 light-years away—enough to fill Earth’s oceans three times over! This could be the birthplace of new planets, and maybe even life. Basically, the building blocks for habitable worlds are floating out there, and it’s giving major ‘how Earth started’ vibes. Space is wild! #SpaceDiscovery #WaterInSpace #ScienceNews #Science70Share
