Taylor Hutchison, a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the James Webb Space Telescope, says her research focus is on distant galaxies --some of the first galaxies ever found in the early universe -- which give us a view toward understanding the history of the universe. In this episode of Further Together, host Michael Holtz asks Hutchison about her research emphasis, how she got to be a NASA NPP Fellow, what led her to a career in the sciences and so much more.

Today in History (TIH): In 2014 NASA discovers the first Earth sized planet in habitable zone of another star. Kepler-186f, tucked away in the Cygnus constellation about 580 light-years from us, stands out as an Earth-sized planet chilling in the habitable zone of its red dwarf star, Kepler-186. It's the most distant in a family of five planets discovered by NASA's Kepler mission circling this star. With an orbit that keeps it 40 million miles from its star, completing a lap every 130 days, and sizes up with a mass and radius about 1.44 and 1.17 times that of Earth, it's got scientists excited about the possibility of habitability—making it the first Earth-radius planet spotted in such a promising zone around another star.

UC Santa Cruz researchers contributed to new studies out this week that enhance our understanding of exoplanets. The first, in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement, catalogs 126 exoplanets discovered with NASA’s TESS and W. M. Keck Observatory, detailing diverse planet types. A second set, published in Nature, investigates "puffy" exoplanets like WASP-107b using data from NASA's James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, attributing their puffiness to tidal heating from their non-circular orbits. This research broadens our knowledge of exoplanet characteristics and formation. ?? ?? https://bit.ly/44WStrP

April 2024 presents an opportunity to experience two rare and spectacular astronomical sightings in northern New England. A total solar eclipse will occur for the first time in our region since 1932, and the comet called 12p/ Pons-Brooks will also be visible during the month, as it makes its approach to the sun after an absence of 70 years. ?? Read all about it in “An Astronomical Double-Header” by Michael J. Caduto in our spring magazine: https://conta.cc/3J5r2lB ???? This detail from a NASA eclipse map charts the path of totality across the Northeast. The ovals inside the path show the shape of the Moon’s shadow on Earth’s surface.

Student leaders shine at the University of Arizona! A team led by a graduate student identified 10-times more supernovas in the early universe than were previously known, with some of these newfound exploding stars being the most distant examples of their type! The discoveries were made using NASA’s JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES, program. Read more about this incredible breakthrough that’s opening a new window to the transient universe: https://lnkd.in/guJQwach

They're black holes, but they're some of the brightest objects in the universe—and thanks to NYU astronomers, we now know the locations of about 1.3 million of them. NYU's David Hogg and colleagues have completed the largest map of the universe's known quasars, which are powered by supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies and can be hundreds of times brighter than an entire galaxy. As the black hole’s gravitational pull spins up nearby gas, the process generates an extremely bright disk, and sometimes jets of light, that telescopes can observe. The scientists built the new map, which charts the largest-ever volume of the universe, using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. The furthest quasar in it was shining when the universe was only 1.5 million years old. Image: A quasar seen at the center of a faraway galaxy in an artistic concept by @NASA.

I was actually playing with this today … For anything handmade, 3 + 1/6 = 19/6 is plenty sufficient to approximate pi — and has the added advantage that it’s often trivial to divide things into sixths. For most industrial uses, 22/7 has a relative error of | (pi-22/7) / pi | =~ 0.04%, which is typically more than sufficiently accurate. The next milepost is 289/92 with a r.e. of about 0.009% and is good enough for semiconductor manufacturing — about as precise as things get in the real world. Ramanujan’s famous approximation of 355/113 has an absolutely insane r.e. of a mere 0.0000085%. There might be some research work, especially in metrology, where that’s not enough … but it's waaaaay beyond anything mere mortals ever need. A scale model of the Earth using 355/13 in place of pi would be off by under a centimeter. As it turns out, simple integral fractions don’t get any better than Ramanujan’s approximation until 16604/52163, and its r.e. rounds to the same figure. But this is so unwieldily for so little gain! A footnote: there are actually times when JPL’s standard approximation of 3.141592653589793 is insufficient: when doing time-step numerical approximations, when even tiny errors can accumulate and “blow up.” But that’s for another comment …
We get it. Memorizing more than 70,000 digits of pi can seem daunting. But here's some good news on #PiDay: You only need a tiny fraction of that for most calculations – even at NASA! A JPL engineer explains: https://lnkd.in/eD4jME8t

NASA discovers 'Super-Earth' 137 light-years away!!! In a groundbreaking discovery, the American space agency NASA has identified a potential "super-Earth" that could harbor life. Named TOI-715 b, this distant planet is situated approximately 137 light-years away from our solar system. The revelation was made in an official press release by NASA, stating, "A 'super-Earth' ripe for further investigation orbits a small, reddish star that is, by astronomical standards, fairly close to us - only 137 light-years away. The same system also might harbor a second, Earth-sized planet." Promising Characteristics of TOI-715 b TOI-715 b is approximately one and a half times wider than Earth and follows an orbit within the "conservative" habitable zone around its parent star. According to NASA, this positioning indicates the possibility of liquid water on its surface. The planet completes a full orbit, equivalent to a year, in an astonishingly brief period of just 19 days. "Several other factors would have to line up, of course, for surface water to be present, especially having a suitable atmosphere. But the conservative habitable zone - a narrower and potentially more robust definition than the broader 'optimistic' habitable zone - puts it in prime position, at least by the rough measurements made so far. The smaller planet could be only slightly larger than Earth, and also might dwell just inside the conservative habitable zone," added NASA.
