Sparkly, swirly, and surprising 🌌
@ChandraXray data shows that this galaxy, Messier 83, is unusual. Over 20 of its supernova remnants – remains from star explosions – vary drastically in X-ray brightness. Typically, the remnants' brightness would fade slowly over time.

Introducing Artemis III.
Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.
In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

New data from @NASAWebb shows that supermassive black holes can grow to their current size without a much larger host galaxy to feed them.
This helps to explain why some black holes in the early universe got so big so quickly.
