In the center of the Milky Way there is a black hole more massive than 4 million Suns. It’s known as Sagittarius A, or Sgr A*, and it’s hidden behind the dust of our galactic center. So how can astronomers see it? Join our host Summer Ash of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory as she talks about how radio astronomers captured the first direct image of the monster black hole in our backyard.

Un exoplaneta gigante y gaseoso, con la misma densidad de un marshmallow, fue descubierto orbitando una fría estrella enana roja, gracias a un conjunto de dispositivos científicos que incluyen al instrumento de velocidad radial NEID, financiado por NASA, que se encuentra instalado en el Telescopio WIYN de 3,5 metros, ubicado en el Observatorio Nacional Kitt, en Arizona, Estados Unidos, y que es uno de los Programas de NOIRLab de NSF y AURA. Es el planeta gigante gaseoso más esponjoso descubierto alrededor de este tipo de estrella.
A gas giant exoplanet with the density of a marshmallow has been detected in orbit around a cool red dwarf star by a suite of instruments, including the NASA-funded NEID radial-velocity instrument on the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab.

On Sept. 26, 2022, NASA conducted a first-of-its-kind experiment, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), designed to intentionally smash a spacecraft into a small asteroid in the world’s first-ever in-space test for planetary defense. NASA declared the mission was successful in altering the orbit of Dimorphos, the asteroid moonlet of Didymos. However, there is still much to learn about the system. Follow-up observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope are already revealing the clearest image of a stunning surprise— a newly developed second tail of ejecta.
