       The most distant rotating galaxy hails from 13.3 billion years ago The galaxy started spinning just 500 million years after the Big Bang   A galaxy about 13.3 billion light-years away (inset in this image of a galaxy cluster from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) is the most distant galaxy to show signs of rotation. ALMA/ESO, NAOJ AND NRAO; NASA, ESA HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE; W. ZHENG/JHU, M. POSTMAN/STSCI; THE CLASH TEAM; T. HASIMOTO  ET AL / NATURE  2018   By  Lisa Grossman JULY 13, 2022 AT 11:00 AM There is a galaxy spinning like a record in the early universe — far earlier than any others have been seen twirling around. Astronomers have spotted signs of rotation in the galaxy MACS1149-JD1, JD1 for short, which sits so far away that its light takes 13.3 billion years to reach Earth. “The galaxy we analyzed, JD1, is the most distant example of a rotational galaxy,” says astro...

  Clouds in the Milky Way’s plasma bubbles came from the starry disk — and far beyond The finding suggests that new star-making material may be trapped where it can’t make stars   he Fermi bubbles, shown in purple in this image created from gamma-ray observations, are giant balloons of plasma that extend away from the Milky Way’s starry disk (blue). FERMI LAT COLLABORATION, DOE, NASA By  Lisa Grossman 13 HOURS AGO Huge bubbles of plasma billowing out from the Milky Way’s center might contain scraps from all over the galaxy — and beyond. A new look at gas clouds in the galaxy’s Fermi bubbles shows that the clouds contain  stuff from the galaxy’s starry disk  and from some mysterious other source. The finding could shed light on how galaxies in general live and die, astronomers report July 18 in  Nature Astronomy . The Fermi bubbles are giant blobs of plasma, tens of thousands of light-years tall, that extend on either side of the Milky Way’s gala...

A fast radio burst’s rapid, steady beat offers a clue to its cosmic origin The three-second-long outburst was made up of a train of individual pulses   The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (pictured) in British Columbia detected a strange burst of cosmic radio waves made up of a train of pulses that lasted for three seconds.CHIME By  Emily Conover JULY 15, 2022 AT 7:00 AM An unusual blast of radio waves from deep space had a sense of rhythm. Over the few seconds in December 2019 when the burst was detected, it kept a steady beat. That tempo holds clues to the potential origin of the mysterious outburst, one of a class of flares called fast radio bursts. Of the hundreds of previously detected fast radio bursts, most last for mere milliseconds. But this one  persisted for roughly three seconds , Daniele Michilli and colleagues report in the July 14  Nature . The burst consisted of multiple brief pulses, repeating about every two-tenths of a second. Scient...
