Webb Telescope discovers possible direct collapse black hole in galaxy collision
Researchers Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University and Gabriel Brammer of the University of Copenhagen have uncovered a remarkable cosmic system in archival data from the James Webb Space Telescope’s COSMOS-Web survey: a pair of colliding disk galaxies whose overlapping rings create a glowing figure-eight, dubbed the “Infinity Galaxy.”

This is the telescope that captured the image of Betelgeuse and its binary that Boris posted the other day.

Gemini North was the ‘scope. Hawaii.
Astrophysicist Steve Howell at NASA Ames Research Center in California led the team that made the discovery. The researchers used a speckle imager on Gemini North called ‘Alopeke (‘fox’ in Hawaiian). Speckle imaging uses very short exposure times to freeze out the distortions in astronomical images caused by Earth’s atmosphere. The astronomers combined it with the power of Gemini North’s 8.1-meter (319 inches) mirror to produce higher-resolution images.

Very impressive. Nice to see ground telescopes still being taken seriously.

To answer me own Q, it’s a “learned borrowing” from the old Greek word for fox, ᾰ̓λωπός.
