Dr. John Barentine FRAS<p>JWST just keeps dropping bangers this week.</p><p>This image is of a galaxy in a cluster called SMACSJ0028.2-7537. But it's a two-fer, courtesy of general relativity: "What at first appears to be a single, strangely shaped galaxy is actually two galaxies that are separated by a large distance. The closer foreground galaxy sits at the center of the image, while the more distant background galaxy appears to be wrapped around the closer galaxy, forming a ring."</p><p>The apparent 'wrapping' of the background spiral galaxy results from the gravity of the foreground elliptical galaxy. It warps the space (and time) around it, changing the paths taken by light from the background object, creating a funhouse mirror effect. In honor of the theorizer of general relativity, these configurations are called 'Einstein rings'.</p><p>More info: <a href="https://esawebb.org/images/potm2503a/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">esawebb.org/images/potm2503a/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>📷: ESA/Webb, NASA &amp; CSA, G.

Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>Happy birthday to Wilhem Röntgen (1845-1923), the German physicist who discovered x-rays and earned the Nobel Prize for physics in 1901. I’ve depicted him in this thermochromic portrait at work, studying this mysterious, newly discovered, invisible form of light, based on a photograph of him in his lab, using a Crookes tube to produce x-rays.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Slipping Ice Streams</strong></p><p>The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream provides about 12% of the island’s annual ice discharge, and so far, models cannot accurately capture just how quickly the ice moves. Researchers deployed a fiber-optic cable into a borehole and set explosive charges on the ice to capture images of its interior through seismology. But <a href="https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adp8094" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in the process</a>, they measured seismic events that <em>didn’t</em> correspond to the team’s charges.</p><p>Instead, the researchers identified the signals as small, cascading icequakes that were undetectable from the surface. The quakes were signs of ice locally sticking and slipping — a failure mode that current models don’t capture. Moreover, the team was able to isolate each event to distinct layers of the ice, all of which corresponded to ice strata affected by volcanic ash (note the dark streak in the ice core image above). Whenever a volcanic eruption spread ash on the ice, it created a weaker layer. Even after hundreds more meters of ice have formed atop these weaker layers, the ice still breaks first in those layers, which may account for the ice stream’s higher-than-predicted flow.
