The mid-infrared light captured by Webb's MIRI infrared camera reveals fine details about the dusty regions and young stars within the Cartwheel Galaxy
Jupiter and its moons seen in stunning detail in new James Webb Telescope images
WASHINGTON — Never before have we been able to view the universe the way the James Webb Space Telescope is showing it to us now.Our naked eye would never be able to see what the telescope sees: traveling through light and space, James Webb can see the origins of the universe — something our minds can hardly begin to grasp.Working like a time machine, the first images shared by this powerful telescope on July 12 showed us far-off galaxies, the death of stars, and the atmosphere of planets outside our solar system.Now NASA scientists have released new shots of the solar system's biggest planet, describing the results on Monday as "quite incredible".The James Webb Telescope took the photos back in July, capturing unprecedented views of Jupiter’s northern and southern...

The nearest beluga population is north of Norway, 3,000km from the Seine, experts believe.
Whale winched out of French river in rescue mission
PARIS — A beluga whale stranded in the Seine river in France has been lifted from the water in the first stage of an ambitious rescue operation.The four-meter (13ft) whale — a protected species usually found in much colder Arctic waters — was stuck in the river, northwest of Paris, for a week.A dozen vets were waiting on a barge to treat the whale after it was hoisted out the water in a sort of hammock.About 80 people are involved in the rescue, including divers and police.It took the rescue team nearly six hours overnight to lift the ailing whale, which weighs 800kg, out of the water and onto a barge.Rescuers are moving it onto a refrigerated truck that will take it back to the coast. They will then hope to treat the animal for several days before releasing it back into the open...

Instrumentation specialist Dr Cecilia Farina says that Weave might discover completely unexpected phenomenon.
Weave: New device will investigate Milky Way's origins
A PALMA, Spain — Scientists have supercharged one of Earth's most powerful telescopes with new technology that will reveal how our galaxy formed in unprecedented detail.The William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, Spain will be able to survey 1,000 stars per hour until it has catalogued a total of five million.A super-fast mapping device linked up to WHT will analyze the make-up of each star and the speed at which it travels.It will show how our Milky Way galaxy was built up over billions of years.Prof Gavin Dalton of Oxford University has spent more than a decade developing the instrument, known as 'Weave'.He told me that he was "beyond excited" that it is ready to go."It's a fantastic achievement from a lot of people to make this happen and it's...

As many as two million brown tree snakes are believed to now live on the tiny Pacific island of Guam.
Two invasive species cost world $16bn: Study
LONDON — Scientists tallying the economic damage wrought by invasive pests across the world found two species are responsible for more harm than any other.The American bullfrog and brown tree snake have collectively caused $16.3bn (£13.4bn) in global damage since 1986.In addition to ecological harm, the invasive pair have ruined farm crops and triggered costly power outages.Researchers hope their findings will encourage more investment to help block invasive species in the future.Writing in Scientific Reports, the scientists held the brown tree snake as singlehandedly responsible for $10.3bn worth of damage in total - partly by spreading uncontrollably across several Pacific islands.In Guam, where the reptile was accidentally introduced by US marines last century, the snake's sheer...

Webb telescope shows off Jupiter in new image
WASHINGTON — The James Webb Space Telescope's first stunning images of the distant universe have been followed up by something a little closer to home.Data collected during the telescope's commissioning period, before its science operations officially started on July 12, have been released on the Space Telescope Science Institute's website. The publicly available data is now ready for scientists around the world to study.That data includes new images of Jupiter, which were taken while the space observatory's instruments were still being tested."Combined with the deep field images released the other day, these images of Jupiter demonstrate the full grasp of what Webb can observe, from the faintest, most distant observable galaxies to planets in our own cosmic backyard...

Passengers noticed the large hole gouged into the side of the plane when they disembarked in Australia.
Hole in airborne Emirates plane 1 in a million, says aviation expert
LONDON — A plane that flew for 14 hours with a large hole in its side is a ‘one in a million case’, according to one aviation expert.Passengers on the Emirates flight from Dubai to Brisbane were shocked to see the damage when they disembarked on Friday 1 July.The airline says the hole was created when one of the Airbus A380’s 22 tires burst shortly after take-off. No passengers were injured, and flight EK430 was able to complete its journey as planned.The incident is highly unusual, Dr Johannes Boroh, a former commercial pilot and senior lecturer in aviation studies at London’s Kingston University tells Euronews Travel.“It’s a one in a million case probably. It’s something that we don't see every day.”One passenger from the flight, called Patrick, told Australia’s...

A conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and the Moon in 2019.
Five planets line up in rare planetary conjunction
LONDON — Five major planets in our solar system are lined up in a row for a rare planetary conjunction visible with the naked eye.In a clear sky, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen shining before dawn.It's a special opportunity to see Mercury, which is usually obscured from view by the Sun's bright light.The conjunction was brightest on Friday morning but will remain visible until Monday from most parts of the world.The last time this conjunction happened was 2004 and it won't be seen again until 2040.The planets appear "like a string of pearls spread out from close to the horizon", explains space scientist and chief stargazer at the Society for Popular Astronomy Prof Lucie Green.It is also a special event because the planets appear in the order...
