CEERS-iously?
In a survey of 100,000 galaxies (called Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science, or CEERS), Webb spotted the most distant active supermassive black hole to date, plus two more small early black holes and 11 early galaxies. All of these objects existed in the first 1.1 billion years after the big bang. Seriously!

Here's some high points from the feature:
Black hole CEERS 1019 is notable both because it existed when the universe was just over 570 million years old, and because it is much smaller than others of its kind. Smaller black holes were thought to exist in the early universe, but it took Webb’s sensitivity to spot them. Webb’s data show that black hole CEERS 1019 is ingesting lots of gas, and its galaxy is churning out new stars. Webb also looked at two other small and distant black holes from about 1 and 1.1 billion years after the big bang, both smaller than previously known early supermassive black holes.
In addition, scientists used Webb to measure the properties of 11 galaxies that existed just 470 to 675 million years after the big bang. The surprise discovery? Scientists thought Webb would actually see fewer galaxies than it has at these distances!
So much about these early objects has been theoretical. With Webb, researchers are finally able to measure them, which may help us to understand more about how black holes and galaxies formed and evolved in the first several hundred million years of the universe’s history.

Image description: About 100,000 galaxies appear in this thin horizontal view. Webb’s images are stitched together. The coverage isn’t continuous, so the areas in between Webb’s images are black. About 20 square images were taken to form this mosaic. There is a significant black region at the middle left and top right, both about three squares wide. The other images are stitched together at various angles, none perfectly matched up. In Webb’s images, there are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, some with all eight diffraction spikes, white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies, and many tiny red dots throughout. In the bottom row, at the edge of the square second from far right is a blue vertical oval that has bright pink regions and many blue dots throughout.
He's already back on Earth, but I took this picture of Mike doing some science last week because it looked so cool. On the Space Station we have a tight schedule and all of us are always doing different things. Often we don't know exactly what the other person is doing, and it is a testament to the planners at mission control that they ensure we don't get in each other's way all the time. Think of all the constraints, from power, to vibrations, equipment, time and physical space inside the Station, during the week we were 11 of us it was hectic but we also got so much done. Mike was packing the RTPCG-2 experiment for its return to Earth, it involves growing protein crystals in space that are helping researchers identify new ways of making medicine.
Il est déjà de retour sur Terre, mais j'aime bien cette photo de Mike prise la semaine dernière. Je n'avais aucune idée de l'expérience sur laquelle il travaillait : ça reflète bien notre quotidien. À bord de la Station, les plannings sont très serrés et tout le monde s'affaire sans arrêt. Le plus souvent, on ne sait même pas ce que font les autres astronautes. Au centre de contrôle, nos planneurs travaillent durs pour éviter qu'on ait besoin des mêmes équipements ensemble. Et à 11 la semaine dernière, on leur a donné du fil à retordre ! Alimentation électrique, disponibilité des équipements, vibrations ou même simplement le fait d'avoir assez d'espace physique pour travailler : il y a énormément de contraintes à prendre en compte. J'ai fini par lui poser la question : Mike rangeait l'expérience RTPCG-2 avant de la ramener sur Terre. Elle sert à étudie la croissance de cristaux de protéines en impesanteur. À terme, elle devrait aider les chercheurs à découvrir de nouveaux moyens de fabriquer des médicaments.

students took part in the Advanced Fire Science Camp and through hands-on experience learned how to work with fire equipment, put out fires, clear rooms, and the importance of staying hydrated at the scene of a fire.
Blue hour was almost over. The sky was almost dark now. The last image I took of Science World had 2 sailboats bobbing in the water, not too noticeable but still present and I wanted a shot of just Science World and the dark blue sky with the clouds. I went as wide as I could with my lens and wished I had an ultra-wide angle lens with me. Couldn't fit it in landscape format from this viewpoint so I had to flip the camera into portrait mode. Really wishing I had an L-bracket at this point as the ball head and Arca Swiss style base I was using wouldn't let me get the camera perfectly vertical. I ended getting it close and straightening in post.

"You said this was a whale!"
The small, soft alien twitched its antennae dismissively.
-My people do not distinguish between these two things-
"Bullcrap! You sent me a picture of a whale!"
-My assistant must have been confused-
"Double bullcrap! You just told me we were on a whale!"
-Let me refocus our conversation: I already have your bartered goods, and you have already came here with your equipment and personnel. Does it really matter?-
"Yes, it matters!"
-Why?-
"Why? Why? Well... why... well... I mean... who would want to hear about my years living on a giant catfish?"
-Indeed. I have been unkind. Please, let us drink together and I will teach you to cook the parasites that burrow on its fin.-
"Ugh."
-Yes-

Description Remote, frigid, and often treacherous to traverse, Antarctica has always posed a challenge to the explorers and scientists who work there. As a result, remote-sensing scientists have steadily worked to develop detailed, accurate imagery of the continent—both to support research on the ground and to better study the continent from a safer vantage point. In November 2007, NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the British Antarctic Survey jointly released a new image mosaic of Antarctica. Development of the mosaic was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Known as the Landsat Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA), this map is made of imagery that has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 15 meters per pixel, the most detailed satellite mosaic of the icy continent yet created.
LIMA is comprised of Landsat images acquired between December 25, 1999, and December 31, 2001. This image shows a small portion of the mosaic around Ferrar Glacier, in the Dry Valleys near McMurdo Station. To create this image, data visualizers draped LIMA imagery over a digital elevation model to give a three-dimensional effect. The elevation shown is actual elevation (no exaggeration), and the perspective looks inland from the Ross Sea.
Although many people think of Antarctica as entirely blanketed by snow, the continent sports some areas of bare ground, and the Dry Valleys are a prominent example. Many years of relentless wind have swept these valleys clean of their snow cover. The same wind has also created blue ice. Ice absorbs a small amount of red light, but snow crystals are too small to show this light-absorption effect. Composed of larger ice crystals, however, blue ice makes the red light absorption more obvious. In this image, blue ice appears near the top of the image, upstream from the Ferrar Glacier. (Another example of blue ice appears along Prince Olav Coast, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.)
LIMA shows remarkable detail, such as the peaks and shadows of the Royal Society Range (between the Ferrar and Koettlitz Glaciers), and the dirty surface of the Koettlitz Glacier, covered by dust and rocks blown off the nearby bare ground. LIMA also captures fingers of snow reaching down into Taylor and Wright Valleys, and the pools of snow along Taylor Valley.
