The China National Space Administration's (CNSA) Tianwen-2 probe is currently at a distance of about 43 million km (26.7 million mi) from Earth. This places it in a stable geosynchronous orbit (GSO) and almost halfway between its first destination, the near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 469219 Kamo'oalewa, which is still 45 million km (~28 million mi) away. As is customary for interplanetary missions, its controllers are using the flight phase to test the spacecraft's instruments and make sure they are in working order.
A Northwestern University-led team of astronomers has captured the most detailed glimpse yet of a doomed star before it exploded. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the international team identified a supernova's source star, or progenitor, at mid-infrared wavelengths for the first time. These observations—combined with archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope—revealed the explosion came from a massive red supergiant star, cloaked in an unexpected shroud of dust.
Scientists have begun to unravel the origin story of a cataclysmic collision between two black holes, which seem to have met their fate on a rarely observed "squashed" orbital path.
Astronomers from Australia and Serbia have performed multi-band photometric observations of a binary star known as V717 Andromedae. The observations yielded crucial information regarding the properties of V717 Andromedae, finding that it is an active low mass ratio contact binary system. The new findings are detailed in a research paper published Sept. 27 on the arXiv preprint server.
Stargazers and meteor enthusiasts across North America could be treated to a spectacular light show under the right conditions during this week's "Draconid shower."
