NASA’s Webb telescope discovers a planet where rock clouds vanish every night

Every morning on the giant exoplanet WASP-94A b, clouds made from rocky minerals gather across the sky. By evening, those clouds are gone. Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers discovered this dramatic daily weather cycle on the distant world, located nearly 700 light years from Earth…

NASA’s Fermi telescope reveals the power source behind monster supernovae

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope may have finally uncovered what powers some of the brightest stellar explosions ever observed. After studying years of data, an international research team found strong evidence that a rare superluminous supernova was energized by an extremely magnetic neutron star formed during the star’s collapse. The…
