Another article posted to the Fediverse. This looks at new theories around the formation of Supermassive black holes
Supermassive black holes exist in the centres of Galaxies, there is one at the centre of the Milky way galaxy which was photographed a few years ago. The photo below is from the Wikipedia article.

Star formation : HST vs JWST
This was posted to Mastodon (where all the really cool people are btw). A short video by Swapna Krishna Author of A POCKET GUIDE TO STARGAZING.
This video compares images of a star forming region taking using both the HST and JWST, great illustration on how the image data differs when the same area is viewed using the JWST Infra red capabilities.

Meteorites Talk
Just been watching a really interesting talk by Dr Tim Gregory – Meteorites from 8th October 2020 – YouTube.
This was really interesting and accessible people with both a science and non science background,
Briefly touched on how the solar system was formed, protoplanetary disks looked at the two different types of asteroids, how they are formed, what makes them up internally, and finished off with a quick look at some of the organic molecules that have been found and how these could have found their way to earth.
Well worth a look, the video can be found on Youtube.
Thank you to the OU Science Club for pointing me to this talk.
