  63. <p>September 2025 marks ten years since the first direct detection of gravitational waves as predicted by Albert Einstein’s 1916 theory of General Relativity. These invisible ripples in space were first directly detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Traveling at the speed of light (~186,000 miles per second), these waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space itself, changing the distance between objects as they pass.</p>
  64. </p>
  65. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Waves In Space</h3>
  66. <p>Gravitational waves are created when massive objects accelerate in space, especially in violent events. <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/universe/nsfs-ligo-has-detected-gravitational-waves/" rel="noopener">LIGO detected the first gravitational waves</a> when two black holes, orbiting one another, finally merged, creating ripples in space-time. But these waves are <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/page/what-are-gw" rel="noopener">not exclusive to black holes</a>. If a star were to go supernova, it could produce the same effect. Neutron stars can also create these waves for various reasons. While these waves are invisible to the human eye, this animation from NASA’s Science Visualization Studio shows the merger of two black holes and the waves they create in the process.</p>

  76. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works</h3>
  77. <p>A gravitational wave observatory, like LIGO, is built with two tunnels, each approximately 2.5 miles long, arranged in an “L” shape. At the end of each tunnel, a highly polished 40 kg mirror (about 16 inches across) is mounted; this will reflect the laser beam that is sent from the observatory. A laser beam is sent from the observatory room and split into two, with equal parts traveling down each tunnel, bouncing off the mirrors at the end. When the beams return, they are recombined. If the arm lengths are perfectly equal, the light waves cancel out in just the right way, producing darkness at the detector. But if a gravitational wave passes, it slightly stretches one arm while squeezing the other, so the returning beams no longer cancel perfectly, creating a flicker of light that reveals the wave’s presence.</p>

  82. <div class="hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0">When a gravitational wave passes by Earth, it squeezes and stretches space. LIGO can detect this squeezing and stretching. Each LIGO observatory has two “arms” that are each more than 2 miles (4 kilometers) long. A passing gravitational wave causes the length of the arms to change slightly. The observatory uses lasers, mirrors, and extremely sensitive instruments to detect these tiny changes.</div>
  83. <div class="hds-credits">NASA</div>
  84. </figcaption></div>
  85. </div>
  86. </div>
  87. <p>The actual detection happens at the point of recombination, when even a minuscule stretching of one arm and squeezing of the other changes how long it takes the laser beams to return. This difference produces a measurable shift in the interference pattern. To be certain that the signal is real and not local noise, both LIGO observatories — one in Washington State (LIGO Hanford) and the other in Louisiana (LIGO Livingston) — must record the same pattern within milliseconds. When they do, it’s confirmation of a gravitational wave rippling through Earth. We don’t feel these waves as they pass through our planet, but we now have a method of detecting them!</p>

  89. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Get Involved</h3>
  90. <p>With the help of two additional gravitational-wave observatories, <a href="https://www.virgo-gw.eu/" rel="noopener">VIRGO</a> and <a href="https://gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/" rel="noopener">KAGRA</a>, there have been <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/news/ligo20250910" rel="noopener">300 black hole mergers detected in the past decade</a>; some of which are confirmed, while others await further study.</p>
  91. <p>While the average person may not have a laser interferometer lying around in the backyard, you can help with two projects geared toward detecting gravitational waves and the black holes that contribute to them:</p>
  92. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  93. <li><a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/cobalt-lensing/black-hole-hunters" rel="noopener"><strong>Black Hole Hunters:</strong></a><strong> </strong>Using data from the <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/tess/" rel="noopener">TESS satellite</a>, you would study graphs of how the brightness of stars changes over time, looking for an effect called gravitational microlensing. This lensing effect can indicate that a massive object has passed in front of a star, such as a black hole.</li>
  94. <li><a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/zooniverse/gravity-spy" rel="noopener"><strong>Gravity Spy:</strong></a><strong> </strong>You can help LIGO scientists with their gravitational wave research by looking for glitches that may mimic gravitational waves. By sorting out the mimics, we can train algorithms on how to detect the real thing.</li>
  95. </ul>
  96. <p>You can also use gelatin, magnetic marbles, and a small mirror for a more hands-on demonstration on how gravitational waves move through space-time with JPL’s <a href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/resources/lesson-plan/dropping-in-with-gravitational-waves/" rel="noopener">Dropping In With Gravitational Waves</a> activity!</p>

  191. <p>&#8220;When President Trump launched the Artemis Accords in his first term, he made sure American values would lead the way – bringing together a coalition of nations to set the rules of the road in space and ensure exploration remains peaceful. After five years, the coalition is stronger than ever. This is critical as we seek to beat China to the Moon, not just to leave footprints, but this time to stay,&#8221; said Duffy.</p>

  195. <p>The United States, led by NASA and the U.S. Department of State, signed the accords on Oct. 13, 2020, with seven other founding nations. The accords were created in response to the growing global interest in lunar activities by governments and private companies. They now comprise 56 country signatories — nearly 30% of the world’s countries.</p>
  196.  
  197.  
  198.  
  199. <p>The event was co-chaired by NASA, the Australian Space Agency, and the UAE Space Agency. Dozens of nations were represented, creating the foundation for future space exploration for the Golden Age of exploration and innovation.</p>

  203. <p>“Australia is a proud founding signatory of the Artemis Accords and is focused on supporting new signatories in the Indo-Pacific region,” said Head of Australian Space Agency Enrico Palermo. “The purpose of the accords is as important — if not more important — as it was when first established. This annual gathering of principals at IAC 2025 is a key opportunity to reaffirm our collective commitment to exploring the Moon, Mars and beyond in a peaceful, safe, and sustainable way.”</p>
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. <p>During the meeting, leaders discussed recommendations for non-interference in each other’s space activities including transparency on expected launch dates, general nature of activities, and landing locations.&nbsp;They also discussed orbital debris mitigation and disposal management, interoperability of systems for safer and more efficient operations, and the release of scientific data.</p>

  211. <p>In May 2025, the United Arab Emirates hosted an <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/organizations/oiir/artemis-accords/nasa-supports-artemis-accords-signatories-advancing-exploration/">Artemis Accords workshop</a> focused on topics, such as non-interference and space object registration and reporting beyond Earth orbit.</p>
  212.  
  213.  
  214.  
  215. <p>“Through our active participation in the Artemis Accords and by organizing specialised workshops, we aim to reinforce the principles of transparency, sustainability, and innovation in space activities. We are committed to strengthening international partnerships and facilitating the exchange of expertise, thereby contributing to the development of a robust global framework for safe and responsible space exploration, while opening new frontiers for scientific research,” said UAE Minister of Sports and Chairman of UAE Space Agency Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi. “This reflects the UAE’s unwavering commitment to enhancing international cooperation in space exploration and promoting the peaceful use of space.”</p>
  216.  
  217.  
  218.  
  219. <p>More countries are expected to sign the Artemis Accords in the months and years ahead, as NASA continues its work to establish a safe, peaceful, and prosperous future in space.</p>

  356. <p>This evening, the moon could appear to be about 30% brighter and up to 14% larger than a typical full moon. But why?</p>
  357. <p>Supermoons happen when a new moon or a full moon coincides with “perigee,” which is when the moon is at its closest to Earth all month.</p>
  358. <p>So this is an exceptionally close full moon! Which explains its spectacular appearance.</p>
  359. <p>And what timing – while the supermoon appears on October 6th, just a couple of days before on October 4th is “International Observe the Moon Night”!</p>
  360. <p>It’s an annual, worldwide event when Moon enthusiasts come together to enjoy our natural satellite.You can attend or host a moon-viewing party, or simply observe the Moon from wherever you are.</p>
  361. <p>So look up, and celebrate the moon along with people all around the world!</p>
  362. <p>The supermoon will light up the sky on October 6th, but if you luck into some dark sky between October 6th and 10th, you might witness the first of two October meteor showers – the Draconids!</p>
  363. <p>The Draconid meteor shower comes from debris trailing the comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner burning up in Earth’s atmosphere</p>
  364. <p>These meteors originate from nearby the head of the constellation Draco the dragon in the northern sky and the shower can produce up to 10 meteors per hour!</p>
  365. <p>The Draconids peak around October 8th, but if you don’t see any, you can always blame the bright supermoon and wait a few weeks until the next meteor shower – the Orionids!</p>

  375. <p>The Orionid meteor shower, peaking October 21, is set to put on a spectacular show, shooting about 20 meteors per hour across the night sky. </p>
  376. <p>This meteor shower happens when Earth travels through the debris trailing behind Halley’s Comet and it burns up in our atmosphere.</p>
  377. <p>The full duration of the meteor shower stretches from September 26 to November 22, but your best bet to see meteors is on October 21 before midnight until around 2 am.</p>

  387. <p>This is because, not only is this night the shower’s peak, it is also the October new moon, meaning the moon will be between the Earth and the Sun, making it dark and invisible to us.</p>
  388. <p>With a moonless sky, you’re much more likely to catch a fireball careening through the night.</p>
  389. <p>So find a dark location after the sun has set, look to the southeast sky (if you’re in the northern hemisphere) and the northeast (if you’re in the southern hemisphere) and enjoy!</p>
  390. <p>Orionid meteors appear to come from the direction of the Orion constellation but you might catch them all across the sky.</p>
  391. <p>Here are the phases of the Moon for October.</p>
  392. <p>You can stay up to date on all of NASA’s missions exploring the solar system and beyond at science.nasa.gov.</p>

  558. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Sun and Our Lives</strong></h3>
  559. <p>On a clear night, you might see thousands of stars in the sky. Most of these stars are dozens or hundreds of light years away from us. A <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/exoplanets/what-is-a-light-year/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">light year</a> is the distance a beam of light travels in a year: about 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers). This means that for those stars we see at night, it takes their light, which travels at <a href="https://www.amnh.org/explore/ology/physics/train-of-thought2/light-speed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">about 186,000 miles per second</a> (or about 300 thousand kilometers per second), dozens or hundreds of years to reach us.</p>
  560. <p>But in the daytime, we only see one star: the Sun. It dominates the daytime sky because it is so close – about 93 million miles (or 150 million kilometers) away. That distance is also called one <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/cosmic-distances/#:~:text=years%20and%20parsecs.-,Astronomical%20units,-%2C%20abbreviated%20AU%2C%20are" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">astronomical unit</a>, and its another unit of measurement astronomers use to record distance in space. But even if 1 astronomical unit seems like a long way, it’s still about 270 thousand times closer than <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/cosmic-distances/#:~:text=trillion%20kilometers%20or-,272%2C000%20AU,-." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alpha Centauri</a>, the next nearest star system.</p>
  561. <p>The Sun isn’t just close – it’s also gigantic! The Sun is large enough to <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/sun/facts/#:~:text=1.3%20million%20Earths%20to%20fill%20the%20Sun%27s%20volume" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fit more than a million Earths</a> inside it, and has <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/sun/facts/#:~:text=take%20more%20than%20330%2C000%20Earths" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">more mass than 330 thousand Earths</a> put together. Its light also provides the energy which allows life as we know it to flourish. For these reasons, the Sun is a powerful presence in our lives. We all have a relationship with the Sun, so knowing about it, and about the benefits and hazards of its presence, is essential.</p>
  562. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Teaching About the Sun</strong></h3>
  563. <p>Autumn is when most students in the United States return for a new school year after summer vacation. This back-to-school time offers a wonderful opportunity to reach students fresh off of a few months of fun in the Sun and capture their imaginations with new information about how our native star works and how it impacts their lives.</p>
  564. <p>To that end, NASA conducts efforts to educate and inform students and educators about the Sun, its features, and the ways it impacts our lives. NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/learn/heat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heliophysics Education Activation Team</a> (HEAT) teaches people of all ages about the Sun, covering everything from how to safely view an eclipse to how to mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms.</p>

  574. <p>This often means tailoring lesson plans for educators. By connecting NASA scientists who study Heliophysics with education specialists who align the material to K-12 content standards, HEAT gets Heliophysics out of the lab and into the classroom. Making Sun science accessible lets learners of all ages and backgrounds get involved in and excited about the discovery, and instills a lifelong thirst for knowledge that builds the next generation of scientists.</p>
  575. <p>Since 2007, NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/programs/living-with-a-star/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Living With a Star</a> (LWS) program and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research’s <a href="https://cpaess.ucar.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science</a> (CPAESS) have cooperated to offer the <a href="https://heliophysics.ucar.edu/summer-school" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heliophysics Summer School</a> program for doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars. This program aims to foster heliophysics as an integrated science, teaching a new generation of researchers to engage in cross-disciplinary communication while they are still in the early days of their career.</p>
  576. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">One Way to Get Involved</h3>
  577. <p>As part of its efforts to increase awareness of the scientific and social importance of heliophysics, and to both inspire future scientists and spark breakthroughs in heliophysics as a discipline, the NASA <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/learn/heat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heliophysics Education Activation Team</a> (NASA HEAT) is working on a slate of educational materials designed to get students involved with real-world mission data.</p>
  578. <p><a href="https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">My NASA Data</a>, in collaboration with NASA HEAT, has released a new set of resources for educators centered around space weather. My NASA Data supports the use of authentic NASA data as part of classroom learning materials. These materials include lesson plans, mini-lessons (shorter activities for quick engagement), student-facing web-based interactives, and a longer “story map,” which deepens the investigation of the phenomenon over multiple class periods.</p>
  579. <p>These resources are designed to engage learners with data and observations collected during both past and ongoing missions, including the European Space Agency’s <a href="https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Solar_Orbiter" rel="noopener">Solar</a><a href="https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Solar_Orbiter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Orbiter</a>, NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/parker-solar-probe/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parker Solar Probe</a> and <a href="https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Solar Dynamics Observatory</a> (SDO), and more.</p>
  580. <p>One example of this is the educational material published to support outreach efforts focusing on the 2023 and 2024 American solar eclipses. These materials allowed learners to collect their own data on cloud and temperature observations during the eclipses with the <a href="https://observer.globe.gov/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GLOBE Observer Eclipse</a> tool. This gave them the chance to participate in the scientific process by contributing meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment.</p>
  581. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>New Ways to Engage</strong></h3>
  582. <p>Groups like HEAT don’t just spark interest in science for the sake of inspiring the next generation of heliophysicists. Just like amateur astronomers can bring in a lot more data than their professional counterparts, <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/programs/citizen-science/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">citizen scientists</a> can do a lot to support the same institutions that may have inspired them to take up the practice of citizen science. This can mean anything from helping to track sunspots to reporting on the effects of space weather events.</p>

  592. <p>These enthusiasts are also adept at sharing knowledge of heliophysics. Even just one person inspired to buy a telescope with the <a href="https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety/viewers-filters" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">right solar filter</a> (international standard ISO 12312-2), set it up in a park, and teach their neighbors about the Sun can do amazing work, and there are a lot more of them than there are professional scientists. That means these amateur heliophysicists can reach farther than even the best official outreach.</p>
  593. <p>Whether they take place in the classroom, at conferences, or in online lectures, the efforts of science communicators are a vital part of the work done at NASA. Just as scientists make new discoveries, these writers, teachers, audio and video producers, and outreach specialists are passionate about making those discoveries accessible to the public.</p>
  594. <p>All of this work helps to inspire the scientists of tomorrow, and to instill wonder in the citizen scientists of today. The Sun is a constant and magnificent presence in our lives, and it offers plenty of reasons to be inspired, both now and in the future.</p>

  863.  
  864.  
  865. <p>At the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) taking place in Sydney this week, representatives from the United States and Australia gathered to sign a framework agreement that strengthens collaboration in aeronautics and space exploration between the two nations.</p>
  866.  
  867.  
  868.  
  869. <p>Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy and Australian Space Agency Head Enrico Palermo signed the agreement Tuesday on behalf of their countries, respectively.</p>
  870.  
  871.  
  872.  
  873. <p>“Australia is an important and longtime space partner, from Apollo to Artemis, and this agreement depends on that partnership,” said Duffy. “International agreements like this one work to leverage our resources and increase our capacities and scientific returns for all, proving critical to NASA’s plans from low Earth orbit to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.”</p>
  874.  
  875.  
  876.  
  877. <p>Australian Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science Tim Ayres said the signing builds on more than half a century of collaboration between the two nations.</p>
  878.  
  879.  
  880.  
  881. <p>“Strengthening Australia’s partnership with the U.S. and NASA creates new opportunities for Australian ideas and technologies, improving Australia’s industrial capability, boosting productivity, and building economic resilience,” Ayres said.</p>
  882.  
  883.  
  884.  
  885. <p>Known as the “Framework Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Australia on Cooperation in Aeronautics and the Exploration and Use of Airspace and Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes,” it recognizes cooperation that’s mutually beneficial for the U.S. and Australia and establishes the legal framework under which the countries will work together.</p>
  886.  
  887.  
  888.  
  889. <p>Potential areas for cooperation include space exploration, space science, Earth science including geodesy, space medicine and life sciences, aeronautics research, and technology.</p>
  890.  
  891.  
  892.  
  893. <p>NASA has collaborated with Australia on civil space activities since 1960, when the two countries signed their first cooperative space agreement. The Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex played a vital role in supporting NASA’s Apollo Program, most notably during the Apollo 13 mission. Today, the complex is one of three global stations in NASA’s Deep Space Network, supporting both robotic and human spaceflight missions.</p>
  894.  
  895.  
  896.  
  897. <p>One of the original signatories to the Artemis Accords, Australia joined the United States under President Donald Trump and six other nations in October 2020, in supporting a basic set of principles for the safe and responsible use of space. Global space leaders from many of the 56 signatory countries met at IAC in Sydney this week to further their implementation.</p>
  898.  
  899.  
  900.  
  901. <p>As part of an <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis/nasa-australia-sign-agreement-to-add-rover-to-future-moon-mission/">existing partnership</a> with the Australian Space Agency, Australia is developing a semi-autonomous lunar rover, which will carry a NASA analysis instrument intended to demonstrate technology for scientific and exploration purposes. The rover is scheduled to launch by the end of this decade through NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative.</p>
  902.  
  903.  
  904.  
  905. <p>NASA’s international partnerships reflect the agency’s commitment to peaceful, collaborative space exploration. Building on a legacy of cooperation, from the space shuttle to the International Space Station and now Artemis, international partnerships support NASA’s plans for lunar exploration under the Artemis campaign and future human exploration of Mars.</p>

  2022. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></h2>
  2023. <p>Researchers have directly detected – essentially photographed – a new planet called WISPIT 2b, labeled a protoplanet because it is an astronomical object that is accumulating material and growing into a fully-realized planet. However, even in its “proto” state, WISPIT 2b is a gas giant about 5 times as massive as Jupiter. This massive protoplanet is just about 5 million years old, or almost 1,000 times younger than the Earth, and about 437 light-years from Earth. </p>
  2024. <p>Being a giant and still-growing baby planet, WISPIT 2b is interesting to study on its own, but its location in this protoplanetary disk gap is even more fascinating. Protoplanetary disks are made of gas and dust that surround young stars and function as the birthplace for new planets. </p>
  2025. <p>Within these disks, gaps or clearings in the dust and gas can form, appearing as empty rings. Scientists have long suggested that these growing planets are likely responsible for clearing the material in these gaps, pushing and scattering dusty disk material outwards and greeting the ring gaps in the first place. Our own solar system was once just a protoplanetary disk, and it’s possible that Jupiter and Saturn may have cleared ring gaps like this in that disk  many, many years ago. </p>
  2026. <p>But despite continued observation of stars with these kinds of disks, there was never any direct evidence of a growing planet found in one of these ring gaps. That is, until now. As reported in this <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adf7a5" rel="noopener">paper</a>, WISPIT 2b was directly observed in one of the ring gaps around its star, WISPIT 2. </p>
  2027. <p>Another interesting aspect of this discovery is that WISPIT 2b appears to have formed where it was found, it didn’t form elsewhere and move into the gap somehow. </p>

  2037. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Details: </strong></h2>
  2038. <p>The star WISPIT 2 was first observed using VLT-SPHERE (Very Large Telescope – Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch), a ground-based telescope in northern Chile operated by the European Southern Observatory. In these observations, the rings and gap around this star were first seen. </p>
  2039. <p>Following these observations of the system, researchers looked at WISPIT 2, and spotted the planet WISPIT 2b for the first time, using the University of Arizona’s MagAO-X extreme adaptive optics system, a high-contrast exoplanet imager at the Magellan 2 (Clay) Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. </p>
  2040. <p>This technology adds another unique layer to this discovery. The MagAO-X instrument captures direct images, so it didn’t just detect WISPIT 2b, it essentially captured a photograph of the protoplanet.    </p>
  2041. <p>The team used this technology to study the WISPIT 2 system in what is called H-alpha, or Hydrogen-alpha, light. This is a type of visible light that is emitted when hydrogen gas falls from a protoplanetary disk onto young, growing planets. This could look like a ring of super heated plasma circling the planet. This plasma emits the H-alpha light that MagAO-X is specially designed to detect (even if it is a very faint signal compared to the bright star nearby). </p>
  2042. <p>When looking at the system in H-alpha light, the team spotted a clear dot in one of the dark ring gaps in the disk around WISPIT 2. This dot? The planet WISPIT 2b. </p>
  2043. <p>In addition to observing the protoplanet’s H-alpha emission using MagAO-X, the team also studied the protoplanet in other wavelengths of infrared light using the LMIRcam detector as part of the The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer instrument on the University of Arizona’s Large Binocular Telescope.</p>
  2044. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fun Facts: </strong></h2>
  2045. <p>In addition to discovering WISPIT 2b, this team spotted a second dot in one of the other dark ring gaps even closer to the star WISPIT 2. This second dot has been identified as another candidate planet that will likely be investigated in future studies of the system. </p>
  2046. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Discoverers: </strong></h2>
  2047. <p>WISPIT-2b was discovered by a team led by University of Arizona astronomer Laird Close and Richelle van Capelleveen, an astronomy graduate student at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands. This followed the recent discovery of the WISPIT 2 disk and ring system using the VLT, which was led by van Capelleveen. </p>
  2048. <p>This discovery was detailed in the paper “Wide Separation Planets in Time (WISPIT): Discovery of a Gap Hα Protoplanet WISPIT 2b with MagAO-X,” <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adf7a5" rel="noopener">published August 26, 2025</a> in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. A second paper led by van Capelleveen and the University of Galway <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adf721" rel="noopener">published on the same day</a> in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. </p>
  2049. <p>This research was partially supported by a grant from the NASA eXoplanet Research Program. MagAO-X was developed in part by a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation with support from the Heising-Simons Foundation.</p>
