2024.10.02 | Fram2 Polar Mission — Part 1: One More Orbit
On The Space Show for Wednesday, 2 October 2024:
Space Show News:
* Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS: Having emerged intact from behind the Sun, it is now being observed from Australia and may become a daytime comet.
* A French-China cooperative satellite, the Space Variable Objects Monitor or SVOM, has been placed into orbit to monitor gamma-ray bursts.
From The Space Show Archive:
The Fermi satellite with MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cerenkov) experiment and VERITAS (the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System).
Early findings of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have been revised:
According to a new study in the Astronomical Journal led by University of Texas at Austin graduate student Katherine Chworowsky, early galaxies are in fact much less massive than they first appeared in the JWST data. Black holes in some of these galaxies make them appear much brighter and bigger than they really are.
Fram2 Polar Mission — Part 1: One More Orbit
