Solar Masses heaviest Black Holes
"Within practically every modern galaxy, a central supermassive black hole can be found. Our own Milky Way houses Sagittarius A*, which weighs in at just over 4 million solar masses."https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/36-billion-solar-masses-heaviest-black-hole/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=swab
Dormant Galaxies
"Astronomers have discovered over a dozen "dormant" galaxies that paused their star formation within the first billion years after the Big Bang."https://www.space.com/astronomy/james-webb-space-telescope/james-webb-telescope-reveals-sleeping-beauty-galaxies-in-the-early-universe-snoozing-where-they-werent-supposed-to-exist
Great Red Spot
"The Great Red Spot is an anticyclone, a long-lasting area of high pressure on Jupiter creating a persistent storm."https://www.space.com/jupiter-great-red-spot.html?utm_source=1440-st&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=view-content-pr&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4

31/ATLAS
"3I/ATLAS, our third discovered interstellar visitor, has been in the news a lot lately for a whole host of reasons, and rightly so given the amount of unique scientific data different groups and telescopes have been collecting off of it."https://www.universetoday.com/articles/3iatlas-is-very-actively-releasing-water
TRAPPIST-1 d
"The exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d intrigues astronomers looking for possibly habitable worlds beyond our solar system because it is similar in size to Earth, rocky, and resides in an area around its star where liquid water on its surface is theoretically possible."https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/webb-narrows-atmospheric-possibilities-for-earth-sized-exoplanet-trappist-1-d/
Galaxy Clusters
"Physicists from the University of Copenhagen have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has stumped scientists for decades."https://charmingscience.com/researchers-hunt-for-mysterious-dark-matter-particle-with-clever-new-trick/
