The first pictures of exoplanets were taken by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA. At the time of writing, the ad had been viewed on Twitter more than 880,000 times.

CNN —Google’s much-hyped new AI chatbot tool Bard, which has yet to be released to the public, is already being called out for an inaccurate response it produced in a demo this week. Bard’s blunder highlights the challenge for Google as it races to integrate the same AI technology that underpins Microsoft-backed ChatGPT into its core search engine. In trying to keep pace with what some think could be a radical change spurred by conversational AI in how people search online, Google now risks upending its search engine’s reputation for surfacing reliable information. Like ChatGPT, Bard is built on a large language model, which is trained on vast troves of data online in order to generate compelling responses to user prompts. The executive said AI technology would pave the way for the “next frontier of our information products.”

The first full-color image released from the next-generation James Webb Space Telescope is the sharpest infrared image of the distant universe ever produced, according to NASA. Space Telescope Science Institut / NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERONASA released the first batch of images from the tennis court-sized observatory to much fanfare in July.

Chinese officials have also said they intend to use the space station for space tourism and commercial space initiatives.
☆ AT 2022cmc: Rare cosmic event beamed light at Earth from 8.5 billion light-years away
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
But the rare cosmic event actually occurred 8.5 billion light years away from Earth, when the universe was just a third of its current age — and it has created more questions than answers. This graphic shows how a tidal disruption event might look in space. Carl Knox/OzGrav/Swinburne University of TechnologyWhen a star is torn apart by a black hole’s gravitational tidal forces, it’s known as a tidal disruption event. Observing more events like this could reveal how black holes launch such powerful jets across space, according to the researchers. “Scientists can use AT 2022cmc as a model for what to look for and find more disruptive events from distant black holes.”
☆ New image from one of Earth's largest telescopes shows a 'star factory' nebula in stunning detail

A new picture shows a nebula 2,500 light-years away in spectacular detail. The Cone Nebula was snapped by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. An annotated picture shows the nebula on a wide field picture of the sky. At about 2,500 light-years from Earth, the Cone Nebula is relatively close to us, which makes it easy to observe. The Cone Nebula can be found at the tip of the Monoceros (unicorn) constellation ESOThe unicorn constellation is visible in the winter sky from the Northern Hemisphere.
☆ Eerie image shows spectacular aftermath of a large star's death
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Oct 31 (Reuters) - The aftermath of a large star's explosive death is seen in an image released on Monday by the European Southern Observatory, showing immense filaments of brightly shining gas that was blasted into space during the supernova. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km). The image shows the supernova remnants about 11,000 years after the explosion, Leibundgut said. The beauty of such images is that we can directly see what material was inside a star," Leibundgut added. The star itself has been reduced in the aftermath of the supernova to an incredibly dense spinning object called a pulsar.
