New Shepherd Flight

"An international crew of four men and two women blasted off and rocketed to the edge of space Saturday, enjoying a few minutes of weightlessness and an out-of-this-world view before plunging back to Earth to wrap up Blue Origin's twelfth New Shepard passenger flight."https://www.cbsnews.com/news/blue-origin-launches-six-passengers-on-sub-orbital-trip-to-the-edge-of-space/?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=ars&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_mailing=ARS_Rocket_060525&utm_medium=email&bxid=5bdce8643f92a434ca85f247&cndid=45206598&hasha=ecc4eb5a460f31b456c54514153c0893&hashb=126020d02221c0fc5a17b7aa92eeaba8b008e1db&hashc=64a20f24338333901e4cb7afc40a3cfae56c6770df59fc13cf25a5ce36d78b01&esrc=bx_multi2nd_orbitalent&utm_term=ARS_RocketReport

Star TOI 6894

"Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our Sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and hosting of a large planet."https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/jun/giant-planet-discovered-orbiting-tiny-star?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4

Small Binary Stars

"A team of researchers in China have discovered a stunning binary system in which a stellar object known as a pulsar orbited inside the outer layers of its companion star — which it accomplished after stripping its host's innards and dispersing them into space."https://www.yahoo.com/news/scientists-startled-discovery-small-star-173046443.html

Ming Dynasty Astronomy

"In October 1408, in Ming Dynasty China, court astronomers recorded a strange celestial event: a bright yellow object, unmoving in the sky, shining steadily for over ten nights."https://gizmodo.com/after-600-years-astronomers-finally-solve-the-mystery-of-the-missing-guest-star-2000610416?utm_source=gizmodo_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2025-06-03-pm

Supermassive blackhole

"A new study from Johns Hopkins University suggests that supermassive black holes—those cosmic behemoths lurking at the centers of galaxies—might already be generating the kinds of high-energy particle collisions researchers have spent decades trying to recreate here on Earth."https://gizmodo.com/physicists-propose-cheaper-alternative-to-particle-colliders-supermassive-black-holes-2000610662?utm_source=gizmodo_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2025-06-03-pm

WASP 121b

"Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have provided new clues about how the exoplanet WASP-121b has formed and where it might have originated in the disk of gas and dust around its star."https://charmingscience.com/webb-reveals-the-origin-of-the-ultra-hot-exoplanet-wasp-121b/

Andromeda Galaxy

"It may come down to a coin toss as to whether the Milky Way collides with the Andromeda Galaxy within 10 billion years."https://www.sciencenews.org/article/uncertain-milky-way-andromeda-collision?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4
