Dust Obscuration Solves the Red Supergiant Problem
A new study resolves the 'red supergiant problem' by showing that dust obscured the luminosity of many red supergiant stars, leading to an underestimation of their numbers; this finding is based on data from the Webb and Hubble telescopes and ground-based surveys.

Distant Neutron Stars Discovered, Expanding Understanding of Universe
Astronomers in Westerbork, using a special telescope and supercomputer, identified 24 mysterious flashes in the universe as neutron stars located a million times farther from Earth than previously known, emitting millisecond-long flashes of light that traveled four billion years to reach Earth.

Unprecedented Plasma Jets Ejected from Supermassive Black Hole 1ES 1927+654
An international team observed unusual X-ray fluctuations and plasma jets ejected from the supermassive black hole 1ES 1927+654 in the Draco constellation, 270 million light-years away, following a 2018 outburst; a low-mass white dwarf star is the most plausible explanation.
