    James Webb Telescope goes 'extreme' and spots baby stars at the edge of the Milky Way (image)

    Submit that the effluence of SgrA*, during past AGN phases, contributes the bulk of the material which is now coalescing into these star forming regions.

    New Hubble Telescope photo captures peculiar ring-shaped galaxy

    A non-mainstream explanation for the formation of galactic arms, bars and rings based upon simple harmonic motion - I would submit that “grand design spiral galaxies” are formed when two large galaxies* merge and the combined motions of the two independent galactic masses “draw” a vibration...

    Why a giant 'cold spot' in the cosmic microwave background has long perplexed astronomers

    Where did all the "matter" come from for this "large" Big Bang "explosion"? There was no spacetime yet to give the BB "direction", so how does it get "propelled"? What we actually observe is a rapid expansion of spacetime and every point within the universe shares the same frame of reference...

    Exoplanet's surface may be covered in oceans, James Webb Space Telescope finds

    Two very important caveats here: 1. The detection of dimethyl sulphide, which is indicative of simple lifeforms such as phytoplankton, was very preliminary and must be confirmed on subsequent observations. 2. Due to the stupendous nature of the discovery of alien life, the JWST cannot confirm...

    Weirdly wobbly jets may be evidence of elusive supermassive black hole pairings

    Messier 106 is the poster child for wobbly jets, especially in the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared images. It appears that at least 2 SMBHs have active jets:

    How did supermassive black holes get so big so fast just after the Big Bang?

    What do you think of the idea that a BH's jets get a gravity boost from low gravity at the center of a BH? I know it sounds sketchy, but it works something like this: Gravity, which is a manifestation of continuously unfolding time and space curving around static mass, which we experience as...

    How did supermassive black holes get so big so fast just after the Big Bang?

    I'm sure the intense electromagnetic currents have an important effect on the distribution of mass within the accretion disc and the relativistic jets. It has been observed that the jets revolve in the same direction as the accretion disc and I believe that's an important clue. I wish we could...

    How did supermassive black holes get so big so fast just after the Big Bang?

    The section describing Black Hole Diet is illogical and doesn't conform to BH observations; particularly this quote; "But, if the electromagnetic radiation emitted from around a black hole in the form of jets is intense enough, it physically pushes material away." The relativistic jets are...
