La Cámara de Energía Oscura, fabricada por el Departamento de Energía de EE.UU e instalada en el Telescopio de 4 metros Víctor M. Blanco de la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias (NSF por sus siglas en inglés) de EE.UU en el Observatorio Interamericano Cerro Tololo (Chile), un Programa de NOIRLab de NSF y el Observatorio AURA, captó los vestigios de la primera supernova registrada en la historia. El anillo de escombros de RCW 86 es todo lo que queda de una estrella enana blanca que explotó hace más de 1.800 años, cuando fue registrada por los astrónomos chinos como una “estrella invitada”.

The tattered shell of the first-ever historically recorded supernova was captured by the US Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera, which is mounted on the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. RCW 86’s ring of debris is all that remains of a white-dwarf star that exploded more than 1800 years ago, when it was recorded by Chinese stargazers as a ‘guest star’.

A time-lapse movie from the Hubble Space Telescope captures the impact of asteroid Dimorphos when it was deliberately hit by NASA's DART spacecraft on Sept. 26, 2022. The movie shows three overlapping stages of the impact aftermath: the formation of an ejecta cone; the spiral swirl of debris caught up along the asteroid's orbit about its companion asteroid; and the tail swept behind the asteroid by the pressure of sunlight. Later on, Hubble records the tail splitting in two.

Sharpshooter insects excrete by catapulting urine droplets at high accelerations. By using computational fluid dynamics and biophysical experiments, the researchers studied the fluidic, energetic, and biomechanical principles of sharpshooter excretion. Their study reveals how an insect smaller than the tip of a pinky finger performs a feat of physics and bioengineering – superpropulsion.

Computer software developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Mapping the roles of single genes in these networks is key to understanding healthy development and finding ways to regrow damaged cells and tissues. Likewise, understanding genetic errors could provide insight into birth defects, miscarriage or even cancer.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have, for the first time, directly measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf – the surviving core of a burned-out Sun-like star. Researchers found that the white dwarf is 56 percent the mass of our Sun. This agrees with earlier theoretical predictions of the white dwarf’s mass, and corroborates current theories of how white dwarfs evolve as the end product of a typical star’s evolution. Astronomers had to employ a trick of nature, called gravitational microlensing, to weigh the dwarf.
