Hubble ultraviolet spectra of 29 metal-poor massive stars show their winds slowing far more sharply than models assumed, which matters for how we read JWST's puzzling early galaxies. Yale meteorite work finds the outer Solar System's first planetesimals were built from 83 to 92 per cent chondrules rather than icy dust, and a new simulation suggests the black holes that wandered away from their galaxy's centre carry the clearest record of its past. We close with NGC 4698, a Virgo spiral rotating out of step with itself.

Astronomers have confirmed Elias 2-24 b, a Jupiter-mass world less than a million years old that is still gathering material inside a gap in its star's disc, making it comfortably the youngest planet ever found. We also look at new supercomputer simulations suggesting Webb's puzzling little red dots are fast-growing black hole seeds, a white dwarf that came back from the dead as a Wolf-Rayet star, and why Venus was never going to keep a moon.

Cosmologists have merged the two largest Type Ia supernova collections into a single 2,884 strong sample, and the combined data once again hint that dark energy may be changing over cosmic time rather than holding steady. Elsewhere this week, Hubble and Webb teamed up to catch 27 of the smallest icy bodies ever seen beyond Neptune, spectroscopy of the plasma tail of 3I/ATLAS pointed to an extraordinarily cold birthplace around another star, and JWST set the tightest limit yet on moons orbiting an exoplanet. Four quiet results, four small corrections to the picture.

The Λ-Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model successfully explains many large-scale cosmological phenomena, but the early presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) still poses a major challenge.

Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are a class of exoplanets that are both massive and extremely hot, making them prime targets for atmospheric characterisation.

The exoplanet K2-18 was discovered in 2015 and has since emerged as one of the most promising candidates in the search for habitable worlds.

A group of astronomers based at the University of Arizona, Tucson have used NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes for a detailed look at the debris disk that surrounds Vega, spanning nearly 100 billion miles in di

Not just one, not two, but five carefully selected full-colour images reveal the full power of the JWST for the first time !

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) never ceases to amaze !

A debris from an old SpaceX rocket is set to collide with the Moon, reigniting the concerns about space junk.

Swift, Hubble and Webb each had their moment this week !
