An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" reports evidence of a cosmic wind emanating from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Mark D. Gorski and Lena Murchikova of Northwestern University used observations with the ALMA radio telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to create a high-quality map of the cold carbon monoxide gas surrounding Sagittarius A*.

Two articles, one published in the journal "Nature" and one in the "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", report different aspects of a study of the supermassive black hole cataloged as Abell 2744-QSO1, or simply QSO1, indicating that it's older than its host galaxy. A team of researchers used observations with the James Webb Space Telescope to study QSO1 and measured its mass at about 50 million times the Sun's.

A few hours ago, the three Chinese taikonauts of the Shenzhou 22 mission returned to Earth after spending 210 days on the Tiangong space station, where they arrived on October 31, 2025, in the mission that started as Shenzhou 21. The three #taikonauts, Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang, had departed the station less than six hours earlier to land at a site called Dongfeng in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

A confirmation has arrived that three Chinese taikonauts from the Shenzhou 23 mission reached the Chinese space station Tiangong with an automated docking maneuver. Two of them will remain there for about six months, the standard duration for a mission, while the third taikonaut will conduct a one-year mission.

It was the afternoon in the USA when SpaceX conducted a new flight test of its Super Heavy rocket and Starship prototypes, launched from its base in Boca Chica, Texas. This is the 12th test involving the entire system of Elon Musk's company, which is supposed to revolutionize space travel with an unprecedented transport capacity and being totally reusable.

A few hours ago, the Smile satellite was launched from the Kourou Spaceport in French Guiana atop a Vega-C rocket. After about 56 minutes, the Smile satellite separated from the rocket's last stage and began maneuvers that are scheduled to last approximately 25 days.

A little while ago, SpaceX's Dragon 2 spacecraft docked with the International Space Station's Harmony module completing the first part of its CRS-34 mission. Astronaut Jack Hathaway and his colleague Sophie Adenot monitored the operation but the cargo spacecraft, which blasted off about 37 hours earlier, completed the maneuvers automatically without any problem.

A few hours ago, the SpaceX Dragon 2 spacecraft blasted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in its CRS-34 (Cargo Resupply Service 34) mission, also referred to as SPX-34. After almost 12 minutes, it separated successfully from the rocket's last stage and went en route.
#TachyonBeam #astronomy #protostars #ENDTRANZ
An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal" reports the results of a study that has identified an important part of the planetary formation process. A team of researchers has discovered a transition zone where gas becomes a part of a planet-forming disk using the ALMA radio telescope. This zone was called ENDTRANZ (Envelope Disk Transition Zone) and was located around the protostar L1527 IRS.
#TachyonBeam #astronomy #comet #InterstellarComet #3IATLAS
An article published in the journal "Nature Astronomy" reports the results of a study on the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which indicate that it formed in a much colder environment than the solar system. This conclusion was reached by a team of researchers using observations conducted with the ALMA radio telescope.
