K2-18b is back in the news, now with a bold claim that biosignature molecules (DMS and/or DMDS) have been 'detected at 3σ'.
Most exoplanet astronomers are extremely sceptical about these claims, let's see why (1/n).

How segmented mirrors allow long-distance space telescopes to view other worlds | Electro Optics
NASA’s Lee Feinberg explains how the James Webb Space Telescope’s segmented mirrors are a crucial component of its design, enabling the precision optics required for deep-space exploration.

Each of #NASAWebb’s four instruments are able to answer specific science questions. Three instruments have cameras, but all four can perform spectroscopy, which is used to study the details of what wavelengths of light objects emit or absorb: webbtelescope.pub/3uJUKoW 🔭 🧪

Yesterday was paper day!
With deep JWST data from the ALT survey we provide new independent evidence that the new population of faint AGNs in the early Universe seems to have so-called overly massive black holes compared to their stellar mass

OK, since the cat's out of the bag (and we're official) I'm happy to report we were granted time to use JWST to look at #2024YR4 and measure its size in about a month. :) 🔭🛰️
NEW: There is a small chance that an asteroid will strike Earth in 2032. What can we do? Well, first, we track it, and study it, very closely.
Here's how that's done—and why, for the first first time, JWST has joined forces with planetary defenders. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

This asteroid may hit Earth in 2032. Don't panic—scientists have a plan.
Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.

Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.
I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

Incredible! 44 individual *stars* observed in a galaxy 6.5 BILLION light years away! Light we're seeing from these stars was emitted before the Earth formed 🤯 This is only possible because of the fun physics of gravitational lensing! Read more: abcnews.go.com/Technology/h... #JWST #NASA #space
