Space seems to be the place for science news, and this week we’ve been stunned by some amazing discoveries from the space realm.
The main headlines were groundbreaking discoveries such as: Gravitational waves rippling in space background and the First map of the Milky Way made of matter Not light by tracing the galactic origin of thousands of “ghost particles” or neutrinos.However, we also had space-time distortion If you try Einstein’s theory of relativity, Carbon compounds important for life Discovered in a star system 1,000 light years away from Earth, rare streak of light It shows that the solar maximum is rapidly approaching over the United States. Alien planets hiding in our solar system — and it’s not “Planet X.”
Back on Earth, we found the world’s largest living crocodile in captivity. Successfully passed the medical pass we watched an amazing video of a 28-year-old laboratory chimpanzee The wide sky I saw for the first time And observed a shape-shifting eel with a ‘surprisingly full stomach’ swim in the deep sea . Sadly, the killer whale White Gladys, who likely launched the attack on boats in Iberian waters, could have been pregnant During the first attack, she was so desperate to stop the boat that she ignored the calves once born.

of james webb space telescope (JWST) has become synonymous with stunning full-color photography of some of the most fascinating spacescapes in the universe (if you don’t believe it, here are some of our favorites ). But as new pictures of Saturn reveal, even the JWST’s raw black-and-white images are stunning.
JWST took new images of the ringed planet on June 24-25 as part of a project to study the planet’s rings, moons and atmospheric composition.
Now the picture is stark and somewhat eerie black and white, showing the number of photons collected by JWST’s near-infrared camera. Scientists then process and colorize the images to make them more instantly recognizable.for now they remain Portrait of a ghostly, rarely seen planet ice ring .
