It looks like a good time to take an (extended) break from Twitter.

Remember: 100% solar eclipse is 100% better than 99% solar eclipse.

JWST has discovered a rapidly growing black hole in a very active phase, ~1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Uniquely bright in X-rays, it is accreting at over 4000% of the Eddington limit, offering new insights into early black hole growth. Suh et al.: https://t.co/GBiVbis9FV

.@gbwnzl et al. detect the radio signatures of two forms of cyanopyrene, a small molecular sheet of carbon, in a cold interstellar cloud known for its rich chemistry. Their findings shed light on the origin and fate of carbon matter in interstellar space:

Version 5 of Octofitter released today! (there's nothing else big going on in the news, right?)

I call this the "RV release", since there are across-the-board improvements to RV modelling performance and new features. 1/3

Currently Goldstone's 70m antenna DSS14 is supporting Voyager 1. The S-Band signal although tiny still sits proud above the noise letting us know its there.

.@JorgZavala et al. present an in-depth analysis of a JWST-discovered high-redshift galaxy at z=12.33. Combining images with the detection of atomic lines, they found extreme conditions in a bright galaxy, likely associated with a young starburst. https://t.co/Q2gDjCgkDL

✨🔭 Research news! ✨🔭

A new study published in @RAS_Journals' #MNRAS suggests the first picture of the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy may not be a true reflection of its appearance. ⚫
