🪐 From Glass Rain to Zombie Worlds In 1995, astronomers discovered the first exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star. Today we know of 6,000+ worlds defying imagination. Some rain molten glass sideways. Others orbit backward. Infant planets spiral through cosmic nurseries while ancient worlds circle stellar corpses. ✍️ Explore the extraordinary census: https://TPC8.short.gy/BP7mexQG 🌌 When reality exceeds science fiction. #Exoplanets #Astronomy #Space #JWST #NASA #Astrophysics #Astrobiology #Cosmos #TPC8

They did not find conclusive proof, but the real Science was the things they discovered along the way, the False Positives were interesting freaks in their own right. https://www.sciencealert.com/jwst-just-examined-two-stars-suspected-of-harboring-dyson-spheres-heres-what-it-found #SETI #Science #Astrodon #Space #DysonSpheres #JWST

Somewhere in the Universe, an alien culture may have developed the technology to build giant megastructures around stars, harnessing their energy on an unimaginable scale.

｢ JWST quickly exposed the two candidates as Dyson sphere impostors – and the explanation was brilliantly simple. The light from both stars was being boosted by a distant galaxy almost perfectly lined up behind them ｣ https://www.sciencealert.com/jwst-just-examined-two-stars-suspected-of-harboring-dyson-spheres-heres-what-it-found #science #dysonsphere #aliens #jwst

A great pleasure to return to the London International Youth Science Forum under the leadership of Richard Myhill. Some 500 high school students from 90 countries, with a two week programme of lectures, trips, debates, & social events. They gave my #JWST talk a very kind reception & had many good questions. Perhaps the loudest & longest applause came though when I said “I don’t trust the tech / AI billionaires like Musk & Altman one iota.” There’s hope for us yet. #LIYSF #Photography
