"Little Red Dots", or very compact early galaxies first detected by the James Webb Space Telescope, are a puzzle: is the light we see from these objects from stars or supermassive black holes? David Setton sheds light on these mysterious sources on Oct 27th. phas.ubc.ca/how-little-r... #astronomy

Have you ever examined presolar stardust? From these original building blocks of our Solar system, we can determine ancient atomic snapshots of the original formation conditions! Learn more with Larry Nittler, speaking at TRIUMF, Tuesday October 21st phas.ubc.ca/supernova-du... @science.ubc.ca

Space dust may not be flashy, but analysis can trace the histories of some of these grains back to the initial stages of planet formation at the dawn of the Solar System. @science.ubc.ca @triumflab.bsky.social @ubceducation.bsky.social phas.ubc.ca/stardust-chr... #astronomy #physics #astrophysics
