On 1st May we have a special public talk by Nobel Laureate Reinhard Genzel, who will talk about galaxies and black holes!

Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes.

The first stars in the universe. A hint of pure helium in the light from the edge of a distant galaxy, detected by #JWST
may be the first clue of something brilliant and original. Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge, UK's Hannah Übler describes the chase. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

University of Cambridge: Astronomers Spot Oldest 'Dead' Galaxy Yet Observed cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

Why do galaxies stop forming new stars? A 'dead' galaxy, spotted by Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge, UK astronomers just 700 million years after the big bang, could hold some of the answers.

New data from ESA Webb Telescope 👇

Scientists Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge, UK have discovered the oldest 'dead' galaxy yet observed in the primeval Universe cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

In a luminous galaxy far, far away…

In one of the most distant galaxies ever observed, NASA Webb Telescope found the first evidence for a long-theorized first generation of stars, and the farthest active supermassive black hole to date: go.nasa.gov/3Tm7FKY

Just two weeks to go until our 2024 Open Day! On March 16th we'll open our doors for an afternoon of free astronomical activities, games, and demonstrations.

Come and explore an interactive black hole, discover the sounds of space, and visit an exoplanet travel agency!

Two teams using #NASAWebb peered across space and time to learn secrets of strangely bright GN-z11 and its enormous black hole. GN-z11 is one of the youngest and most distant galaxies ever observed: webbtelescope.pub/3IiTZtG

🆕 Webb has revealed the secrets of the curiously bright galaxy GN-z11 🌌 which is almost as old as the Universe itself. Read more: esawebb.org/news/weic2406/ or 🧵👇
