JWST tracks more than 100 magnified stellar events in the Dragon galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers identified 104 magnified stellar events in a galaxy known as the Dragon, located around 6.5 billion light-years away. This discovery more than doubles the previous record of 44 such detections in the same galaxy. Because these kinds…
Game theory helps SETI search for alien civilizations
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is mostly concerned with where to look for technosignatures from another civilization. Between 2012 and 2015, SETI's Project Phoenix targeted about 1,000 sun-like stars for signs of intelligent life. But where to look might not be as important as…
NASA's destroyed Swift Observatory took one of the best-ever photos of bright Andromeda
