Michael Flores+FollowJWST Just Found the Oldest Galaxy Ever!The James Webb Space Telescope just spotted the most ancient galaxy we’ve ever seen—MoM z14, which existed only 280 million years after the Big Bang! That’s way older than sharks, btw. Scientists didn’t even expect to find galaxies this early in the universe, but JWST keeps smashing records. MoM z14 is tiny compared to the Milky Way and already has elements like carbon and nitrogen, hinting there are even older galaxies out there. Space history in the making! #JWST #SpaceDiscovery #CosmicMiracle #Science160Share
James Brady+FollowBlack Hole Jet Outsizes 3 Milky Ways?!Astronomers just spotted a black hole jet so massive, it stretches nearly 200,000 light-years—about three times the size of our Milky Way! This cosmic monster, powered by a not-so-huge black hole in a baby universe, shot out twin jets that survived 12 billion years of space travel. The wild part? It proves even average black holes can launch galaxy-shaping jets. Space just keeps getting wilder! #SpaceDiscovery #BlackHole #Astronomy #Science11Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowPlanet Nine Who? Meet the New Dwarf!Astronomers on the hunt for the mysterious Planet Nine just stumbled onto something wild—a brand new dwarf planet, 2017 OF201, chilling way beyond Neptune. It’s about three times smaller than Pluto but still big enough to shake up what we thought we knew about our solar system. The best part? This surprise find could actually challenge the whole Planet Nine theory. Space drama, anyone? Plus, even amateur astronomers are getting in on the action! #SpaceDiscovery #PlanetNine #Astronomy #Science20Share
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
James Brady+FollowPlanet Nine Who? Meet the New Dwarf PlanetAstronomers searching for the mysterious Planet Nine just stumbled onto something wild—a brand new dwarf planet, 2017 OF201, chilling way out past Neptune! This icy world is about 430 miles across and takes 25,000 years to orbit the sun. The kicker? Its weird path might actually poke holes in the whole Planet Nine theory. There could be hundreds more like it hiding out there. Space is getting spicier by the day! #SpaceDiscovery #PlanetNine #DwarfPlanet #Science150Share
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
megangibson+FollowMilky Way’s Giant Twin Found in Deep SpaceAstronomers just spotted a galaxy from 11 billion years ago that looks a lot like our Milky Way—but it’s way bigger and crazier! This cosmic beast, J0107a, is over 10 times more massive and forms stars 300x faster than our galaxy. The wild part? It’s super compact and has a classic spiral shape with a star-forming bar, something scientists didn’t expect to see so early in the universe. Looks like we might need to rethink how galaxies grow up! #SpaceDiscovery #MilkyWayTwin #GalacticMystery #Science130Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowSpace Station’s Wild New Microbe Discovery!Chinese scientists just found a brand new microbe living on the Tiangong space station—and it’s got some wild survival skills! This little bacteria, Niallia tiangongensis, isn’t just tough enough for space, it might help turn waste into resources and even inspire new tech for medicine and farming back on Earth. Who knew space grime could be so useful? Next time you wipe down a surface, imagine what’s living out there in orbit! #SpaceDiscovery #Tiangong #Microbiology #Innovation #ScienceNews #Science241Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowUranus Just Got Way More InterestingNASA just pulled off a cosmic sneak peek into Uranus, and wow—turns out this icy giant has 13 rings and a super gassy atmosphere! Thanks to a rare alignment, scientists used starlight flickers to measure everything from Uranus’ temperature to its swirling, stormy layers. The planet’s basically a giant ball of hydrogen, helium, and mystery, and this new data could totally change how we explore it in the future. Can you imagine what else is hiding out there? #NASA #Uranus #SpaceDiscovery #ScienceNews #Astronomy #Science15734Share
martinezlaura+FollowSpace’s 'Red Monsters' Rewrite HistoryAstronomers just spotted three gigantic, super-dusty galaxies—nicknamed 'red monsters'—that popped up only 500 million years after the Big Bang. These cosmic beasts are way bigger and more efficient at making stars than anyone thought possible for that era. The discovery is shaking up what we thought we knew about how galaxies form and grow. Looks like the universe’s early days were way wilder than our textbooks said! #JWST #SpaceDiscovery #RedMonsters #Astronomy #CosmicHistory #Science30Share
