Images of the Eagle Nebula have been captured before, but not with this much color. As part of their ongoing celebration of the Hubble Space Telescope's 35th anniversary, NASA and ESA have shared a new image of the Eagle Nebula, specifically a "spire of cosmic gas and dust" that's in a region last captured by the telescope two decades ago. The tower in the image is 9.5 light years tall, according to NASA and ESA, and only a portion of the larger Eagle Nebula, which is considered a "nursery" fo

Summary Introduce scoped values, which enable a method to share immutable data both with its callees within a thread, and with child threads. Scoped values are easier to reason about than thread-local variables. They also have lower space and time costs, especially when used together with virtual threads (JEP 444) and structured concurrency (JEP 505). History The scoped values API was proposed for incubation by JEP 429 (JDK 20), proposed for preview by JEP 446 (JDK 21), and subsequently impro

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just gave a cosmic mystery a serious plot twist. The event in question—a sudden brightening from a star about 12,000 light-years away—was initially chalked up to the star swelling into a red giant and engulfing a nearby planet, a typical tale in some star systems. But not this time. Webb’s perceptive infrared gaze, courtesy of its MIRI and NIRSpec instruments, peered deep into the dusty aftermath with its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and Ne

That "city-killer" asteroid may no longer be projected to strike Earth any time soon, but scientists are still keeping close tabs on it. Using the mighty James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have imaged the once-menacing space rock, dubbed 2024 YR4, in infrared light, providing our best estimate yet of its true size. It's also a convincing demonstration of the telescope's usefulness in assessing the hazards of near-Earth asteroids in the future. Previously, our ground-based glances at 2024

The Euclid space telescope is on a mission to map more than one third of the entire sky, observing billions of galaxies over a span of six years to gather data about the universe’s dark side. In its first big data release, the telescope produced a beautiful mosaic of millions of distant galaxies with different shapes and sizes, giving us a glimpse of its power to peer into the cosmos.

Photography has become my most consistent creative practice outside of writing. I've used my cameras for astrophotography with varying levels of success. The main issue I faced was a total lack of tools to track the motion of stars during the long exposures. Astrophotography is hard but it doesn't need to be. I've captured roughly 50,000 images in the 18 years since I bought my first digital camera, a Fujifilm FinePix S700. These days, I take most of my photos on a Google Pixel 8 Pro. Recently,
