☆ New James Webb telescope photo of a galaxy cluster 6 billion light years away shows a trippy phenomenon where gravity warps spacetime
  + stars: | 2023-04-02 | by ( Hannah Getahun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
New cosmic photos of galactic "arcs and streaks" in space were released on Tuesday by NASA's James Webb Telescope. The galaxies are bending space and time in a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. The SDSS J1226+2149 galaxy cluster shown in this newest photo is around 6.3 billion light years away, in the constellation Coma Berenices, according to the ESA. The James Webb Space Telescope's first deep field infrared image, released July 11, 2022. The light from the MACS0647-JD system is bent and magnified by the massive gravity of galaxy cluster MACS0647.
☆ Photos released by NASA show once-invisible spiral galaxies and a first look at star formation

Researchers at NASA used infrared wavelengths to take three photos of galaxies, "getting their first look at star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution." The Webb telescope’s images of NGC 1433, NGC 7496 & NGC 1365 reveal the galaxies' networks of gas and dust in extraordinary detail. This data is part of an ongoing Webb survey of 19 spiral galaxies. NASANASA researchers used the James Webb Telescope to capture the images, according to a news release. The first Webb telescope photo shows "a gray spiral galaxy with a bright white, circular core," according to NASA.

Alphabet's shares sank almost 8%, wiping a cool $100 billion off its market cap, and dragging all of Wall Street down. "Monetary policy in Sweden is clearly more restrictive than in the Euro-area," they say. "If the ECB therefore ends up with a 3.25% terminal rate (our forecast), we think the Riksbank will not be able to follow suit and take the policy rate to 3.75%."

☆ The way we search for information online is about to change

CNN Business —An entire generation of internet users has approached search engines the same way for decades: enter a few words into a search box and wait for a page of relevant results to emerge. Bing will not only provide a list of search results, but will also answer questions, chat with users and generate content in response to user queries. “We have even more exciting, AI-enabled innovations in the works that will change the way people search, work and play. These models are trained on vast troves of online data in order to generate compelling responses to user prompts. Microsoft and Google executives have acknowledged some of the potential issues with the new AI tools.
☆ James Webb Telescope finds its first exoplanet

There's a new heavy hitter in the hunt for planets beyond our solar system. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope — the next-generation observatory that has already beamed back some of the clearest and most stunning views of the universe — was used for the first time to confirm the existence of an exoplanet, scientists announced Wednesday. The exoplanet confirmation marks an important milestone for the $10 billion Webb telescope, which launched into space in December 2021 and began science operations less than a year ago. “These first observational results from an Earth-size, rocky planet open the door to many future possibilities for studying rocky planet atmospheres with Webb,” Mark Clampin, director of the astrophysics division at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., said in a statement. “Webb is bringing us closer and closer to a new understanding of Earth-like worlds outside our solar system, and the mission is only just getting started.”
☆ James Webb telescope: New data on WASP-39b is a 'game changer,' scientists say

CNN —The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed molecular and chemical portrait of a faraway planet’s skies, scoring another first for the exoplanet science community. This “hot Saturn” was one of the first exoplanets that the Webb telescope examined when it first began its regular science operations. Bocaprins’ close proximity to its host star makes it an ideal subject for studying such star-planet connections. The planet is eight times closer to its host star than Mercury is to our sun. … We are already getting very exciting results,” Nestor Espinoza, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, told CNN.
☆ New infrared photos of the 'Pillars of Creation' from the James Webb Telescope reveal star-creating cosmic dust and massive galaxy clusters

The new photos included a cluster of stars from 5.6 billion light-years away. The light from the MACS0647-JD system is bent and magnified by the massive gravity of galaxy cluster MACS0647. The massive gravity of galaxy cluster MACS0647 acts as a cosmic lens to bend and magnify light from the more distant MACS0647-JD system. It also triply lensed the JD system, causing its image to appear in three separate locations.

☆ Europe's space agency is turning to Elon Musk's SpaceX after anti-Russian sanctions left it scrambling for rockets
  + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets will be used in two launches by the European Space Agency. The agency's boss has previously warned that the rest of the world's space tech is falling behind SpaceX. "In response to EU sanctions against our enterprises, Roscosmos is suspending cooperation with European partners in organizing space launches," it announced at the time. The ESA's choice of SpaceX rockets comes soon after a payment dispute over Musk's Starlink service in Ukraine, which has provided key internet access during the war while normal infrastructure has been offline. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider on the ESA's use of Falcon 9 rockets.
☆ A Facebook contractor describes what it's like working on the company's customer service front lines

In a conversation with Insider, a Meta customer service agent working for third-party firm described what it's like to work with customers, from torrents of abuse to insomnia from the stress. Each day, she fields around 20 cases a day from organizations, businesses, celebrities, and creators who depend on Facebook and Instagram for their livelihoods. More than 200 Gopuff customer service workers were let go last week. On a podcast, Glenn Howerton said he was locked out of his Tesla when his key fob broke, and that he had a difficult time reaching customer service, saying that Tesla "lost a customer." Acquired a decade ago for $22 billion, WhatsApp has yet to become a big business for Facebook.

Two galaxies, known as II ZW96, form a swirl shape while merging in the constellation Delphinus. After releasing its first high-resolution images in July, the James Webb Space Telescope continues to share new images that provide unprecedented views of the universe. The telescope is expected to shed light on the life cycles of planets, stars and galaxies and reveal mysteries of the universe. It has enough fuel to operate for the next 20 years and will change the way people understand the cosmos.
