Okay, whose idea was it to make the COSMOS field so big?! Every time I go through the catalog, my tiny brain is convinced I've done something wrong because there are just SO MANY GALAXIES 🤯😱🤩 Please help Link to team website: cosmos.astro.caltech.edu/page/cosmosweb

NEW PAPER: I have discovered that up to half of all black holes that shred a star "burp" material years after the initial event and turn on in radio!!! No one was expecting this, and we don't really understand why this might be! 🤩🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2308.13595 🧵

Appropriate that this overview of JWST's first year of science by Joel Achenbach ends with me crying over galaxies 🔭🧪

NASA is marking the first anniversary of the James Webb Space Telescope’s scientific debut with the release of a new image, demonstrating the telescope’s ability to re-envision the universe. 🌌 See more discoveries from the telescope: https://wapo.st/3XQTIWc

Here’s Joel Achenbach for the Washington Post on JWST’s first year with nice quotes from @janerigby.bsky.social, @jeyhan.bsky.social, @saturnswings.bsky.social and many more! https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/07/12/jwst-new-picture-first-year/

Second galaxy to the right and straight on until cosmic dawn! This video takes you on a journey through our CEERS JWST images and cosmic history. Every second we travel 200 Million lightyears into the past on our way to Maisie's Galaxy which existed ~13.4 Billion years ago!

We found the most distant (to-date) active black hole at the center of a galaxy ~570 Myrs after the Big Bang (>13.2B yrs ago)!! 🧪 Now with an official press release and fancy graphics from the fine people at Space Telescope Science Institute and NASA 😍

First post! Let's kick things off with our #JWST NASA press release today on high redshift galaxies in the CEERS Survey, and highlighting work from @saturnswings.bsky.social
