JWST spots an “unusual” collision-shaped Centaurus A and flags early-universe “little red dots” as potential black-hole hosts NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope used unprecedented near- and mid-infrared sensitivity to penetrate Centaurus A’s dust lanes, revealing a densely packed, active, and changing galaxy shaped by a cosmic collision. Separate JWST findings identify early-universe “little red dots” that may conceal black holes firing high-energy neutrinos through space.

NASA faces on-orbit servicing challenge for Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) NASA’s new exoplanet “alien-hunting” telescope, the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), will be serviceable once it is on orbit. The move shifts a key implementation question to how NASA will carry out or enable servicing in space.

FAA objects as NASA leader flies vintage jet at Washington air show, regulator initially denies request for Freedom 250 celebrat A regulator rejected Jared Isaacman’s request to fly in connection with the Freedom 250 celebration, citing safety concerns that the aircraft was too dangerous for densely populated areas. The episode followed FAA objections over a NASA leader flying a vintage jet at a DC air show.
