| | Giant black hole at cosmic dawn | | | Meet J1342+0928, now the most distant quasar yet known, containing the most-distant-yet supermassive black hole. Both exist at a time just 690 million years after the Big Bang. | | | | N. Hemisphere? Watch for earliest sunsets | | | The 2017 solstice will arrive on December 21, but the earliest sunsets at mid-northern latitudes are happening now. S. Hemisphere? Then watch for your earliest sunrises. | | | | Turning hurricanes into music | | | A meteorologist and a music technologist are turning data from tropical storms into musical graphs. Can listening to storms help us understand them? | | | | Where's the moon? Waning gibbous | | | Watch for the moon late at night now, or in the early morning. When you see it, you might think it looks oddly egg-shaped, like a misshapen clone of a full moon. | | | | | |
