James Webb telescope captures first images of CO2 outside solar system
- Astronomers have long sought to directly observe the atmospheres of exoplanets using direct imaging, which provides independent analysis of exoplanet atmospheres from their host stars.
- Direct imaging faces challenges due to extreme brightness differences between stars and planets, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) enabling researchers to overcome these obstacles.
- JWST utilizes starlight subtraction algorithms, differential imaging techniques, and stability to isolate planetary signals, lacking advanced coronagraphic technology.
- JWST's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) with specialized coronagraphs has detected carbon dioxide features in the atmospheres of exoplanets like HR 8799 and 51 Eridani, offering insights into planetary formation.
- Observations of exoplanets with JWST at wavelengths between 3 and 5 micrometers have revealed atmospheric compositions, supporting theories of planetary formation processes.
- The success of JWST's coronagraphs opens doors for future exoplanet studies, with plans for more advanced coronagraphic technology on the Roman Space Telescope, aiming to improve contrast and resolution.
- Direct imaging of exoplanets helps scientists understand atmospheric properties, formation histories, and potential habitability, advancing knowledge on the diversity of planetary systems and conditions for life beyond Earth.
- Insights from directly imaged exoplanets may help determine the prevalence of planets forming through core accretion versus alternative mechanisms, shedding light on solar system architectures.
- JWST's precision in detecting exoplanets has exceeded expectations, allowing astronomers to explore new observation techniques and conduct impactful scientific research.
- Understanding the formation and behavior of giant exoplanets can offer valuable insights into planetary system dynamics, including potential impacts on smaller, potentially habitable planets.

James Webb to join observations of asteroid that could strike Earth in 2032
- The probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth in 2032 has now risen to 2.3%.
- The James Webb Space Telescope will be used to track the asteroid and improve size estimates.
- Observations by ground-based telescopes will continue until April 2022 before becoming too faint to observe until 2028.
- It is possible that the impact probability of the asteroid will continue to rise or be ruled out as an impact hazard as more observations are made.

Keith Koehler: Listening and Leading as Wallops’ News Chief
- Keith Koehler is the news chief at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.
- He has worked with NASA for more than 41 years and has extensive experience working on unique projects involving sounding rockets, scientific balloons, and aircraft missions.
- As the news chief, Koehler manages media relations, writes news releases, web features, and conducts interviews to bring the facility's activities to the public.
- In 1978, he joined NASA Langley Research Center's Public Affairs Office which later led him to Wallops Flight Facility in 1984 where he has mostly remained throughout his career.
- Koehler enjoys rural living and working with people and scientists from all over the world who come to Wallops to conduct research projects.
- Koehler has been involved in many projects at Wallops, including Northrop Grumman’s Antares program, which he finds particularly interesting.
- Koehler has always had a passion for learning and communicating technical complexities of science and engineering to the public.
- He believes a good science communicator is someone who is willing to listen closely to what support staff are saying and is able to relay complex technicalities to the public in a digestible format.
- The vast majority of Koehler's career has been spent at Wallops Flight Facility because he maintains that the people he has encountered there are always keen to share what they are doing with the public.
- Koehler would like to be remembered for bringing the message of what Wallops does to the public and supporting educational programs through hands-on programs and internships.

What is Trump's Iron Dome for America? A next-generation missile shield and a return to Reagan's 'Star Wars' program
- President Donald Trump wants a next-generation missile shield with space-based interceptors.
- The plan, 'Iron Dome for America,' appears to emphasize countering high-end threats.
- Experts have long said additional space-based assets would be needed to defeat evolving missile threats.
- Some, however, have shared concerns that the proposed shield required to defeat them may be too expensive, technically unworkable, or destabilizing to the fragile nuclear balance.
- Trump's plan emphasizes both space sensors and space interceptors for detecting launches immediately and attacking missiles outside the atmosphere.
- The order gives Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth 60 days to deliver a plan for constructing a next-generation shield.
- Trump is worried about far more severe threats, specifically ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles.
- Threats have evolved. Russia is developing a new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile, hypersonic missiles, and nuclear-powered cruise missiles.
- China has also developed new hypersonic weapons, and even North Korea is building modern ICBMs and advanced missiles.
- Trump's executive order has the potential to create big opportunities for leading air defense manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and RTX.

A Dragon Reveals Individual Stars From A Time When the Universe Was Half Its Present Age
- Scientists have observed individual stars in a distant galaxy that existed when the universe was half its present age.
- Through gravitational lensing effects, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured the spectra of more than 40 red supergiant stars in the galaxy known as The Dragon.
- The study of these stars will provide insights into the chemical diversity and impact of red giants in younger galaxies, shedding light on the formation of stars and the evolution of the Milky Way.
- The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the JWST and suggest that more stars in distant galaxies could be observed in the future.
