James Webb telescope confirms there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe

Depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at different rates. Now, scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have confirmed that the observation is not down to a measurement error.

Does anyone in the crowd or the or crowds have suggestions for resources I can use with my 14 year old students, regarding image classification (probably)?

And resources to get me up to speed too?

They would like to work in to train an AI to do something as-yet-undecided with the telescope public datasets. In little chunks, no one has GPU.

The background is that this is a coaching situation, and they have to do a tiny bit of research into a STEM area of study. But they're a super keen pair with big ambition. Key interests are pulsars, possibly galaxy classification.

I'm a python programmer, but that's the extent of my skill and knowledge overlap with what they're trying to do. (We'll, that and being a well organised adult).

Say HELLO to exoplanet WASP-80 b! She's beautiful AND has a newly discovered atmosphere containing methane gas and water vapor.

UC Santa Cruz professor of astronomy and astrophysics Jonathan Fortney and graduate student Sagnick Murkherjee created computer models of the planet's atmosphere that aided in the interpretation of the planet's spectrum.

Scientists using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope made a breakthrough discovery in revealing how planets are made.

By observing water vapour in protoplanetary disks, Webb confirmed a physical process involving the drifting of ice-coated solids from the outer regions of the disk into the rocky-planet zone.

Descubren el agujero negro más antiguo conocido (y es 10 veces más grande que el de la Vía Láctea)

Este agujero negro supermasivo tiene 13.200 millones de años y podría cambiar nuestra comprensión de cómo se formó el universo

James Webb has seemingly detected the existence of exotic celestial objects called "dark stars" in the early universe. These stars are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, but their cores are powered by self-annihilating dark matter instead of nuclear fusion.

The first anniversary image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope displays star birth like it’s never been seen before, full of detailed, impressionistic texture. The subject is the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth.

STUNNING!

Happy Birthday Teleskop Forschung mit diesem wow Bild!

Why was the Search for Intelligence () 👽 unsuccessful so far ?

🦠 appeared pretty much as soon as it could, right when the formed and our stopped being a molten 🌋 hellscape. That might have been as early as 3.7 billion years ago. But life appeared basically yesterday—what we identify as anatomically modern humans arose about 120,000 years ago. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/05/were-essentially-alone-in-the-universe-and-thats-ok
