In this episode of Night Sky News we're chatting about the latest results from the AAS243 meeting including the Big Ring megastructure of galaxies, the most distant fast radio burst, and of course the latest from JWST on the "Crisis in Cosmology" (aka the Hubble Tension) which has ruled out the most likely culprit that we all had our money on. Is it time for some new physics? #astronomy #space #AAS243 My previous video on astrophotography - https://youtu.be/ToN15U6dy1Q?si=Xmlh-RAk73B6wR5L My previous video on what tests NASA will do with the OSIRIS-REx sample - https://youtu.be/WCMX3Ze2EbU?si=nYFDngh-Bmur404w My previous video on Brian May's astrophysics PhD thesis on dust - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noT8kkdl8hE My previous video on the Euclid Space Telescope - https://youtu.be/JFAB1MhYGyc?si=RnvYe6zjYW0GBF2R My previous video on the first images from Euclid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm018SSn9eo&t=466s My playlist of Crisis in Cosmology videos - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd19WvC9yqUf5TRqYoMYxEwjT6JIDW4Zn My playlist of alternate gravity theory videos - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd19WvC9yqUe_IteZI-qP_yqvohNR9Of3 AAS 243 - https://aas.org/meetings/aas243 Astrobites AAS243 blogs - https://astrobites.org/tag/aas/ AAS abstracts on ADS (google for astrophysics research) - https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/p_=0&q=bibstem%3A%22AAS%22&sort=date%20desc%2C%20bibcode%20desc Big Ring mega structure press release - https://www.uclan.ac.uk/news/big-ring-in-the-sky Lopez et al.

I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com https://rebeccasmethurst.co.uk
