Webb Telescope Detects Dust and Water Signals Near Milky Way's Central Black Hole

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured a detailed image on August 11, 2026, focusing on a dense concentration of stars near the Milky Way's center. The observation targeted IRS 3, an aging star approaching the end of its life cycle within that stellar region. Webb's mid-infrared instruments detected clear signatures of oxygen-rich silicate dust around the star. The findings offer new insights into the chemical environment surrounding stars near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's core.

NASA and Europe's Twin Satellites Track Hurricanes Amid Historic El Niño Season

NASA and its European partners launched the Sentinel-6B satellite in November to enhance hurricane forecasting and support infrastructure protection and commercial shipping. The new satellite now orbits just 30 seconds behind its predecessor, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, forming a closely coordinated pair. Together, the two satellites are delivering precise sea level height measurements during what oceanographers anticipate will be a historically significant El Niño event. The data collected is expected to improve understanding of how El Niño-driven ocean conditions influence hurricane development and intensity.
