Earlier this year, on the 2nd of February 2022, the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) identified a flash within the optical waveband, with an apparent magnitude of ~20.
A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge have carried out one of the first astrophysical studies of the cosmic dawn, uncovering important information about the first stars and galaxies to exist in our univ
The James Webb space telescope (JWST) continues to provide astounding insights into the nature of exoplanets as it completes part of the Transiting Exoplanet Early Release Science Program with the goal of compiling the fu
For decades, astronomers have thought that the diffuse cloud of gas, stars, and dark matter known as the stellar halo is largely spherical and isotropic.
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.
