🩻 By detecting X-ray sources, our XMM-Newton mission is helping us understand the violent Universe and its:
🕳 extreme environments around black holes
💥 supernovae explosions
🎇 powerful gamma-ray bursts

A great summary of not just extreme space weather. But extreme EXTREME space weather.
Carrington? Puny storm.
Carrington? Puny storm.

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!
This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years. 🧪🔭

Witnessing black hole growth in the early universe? JWST is on it.
Webb is solving mysteries it created. Remember “little red dots?” They seemed too big to exist in the early universe... and maybe theory couldn’t account for them. It turns out they may be a new class of galaxy containing growing supermassive black holes. https://t.co/OXo6TzNgus https://t.co/Y

The evidence for Homo sapiens playing the dominant role in the global #megafauna #extinctions constitutes one of the clearest, well-supported patterns in #ecology.

Spectra of white dwarfs reveal the elements of the rocky planets that once surrounded the star. Fascinating.
Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)
Here’s how the Sun will end all life on Earth
Our home star won't go supernova, but the end of its life will be no less spectacular.
