Alexandria Johnson does hard science on the most nebulous of subjects: clouds. As an atmospheric scientist and assistant professor of practice in Purdue University’s College of Science, she studies clouds wherever they are: in her lab, on Earth, thro

Observations by NASA’s NuSTAR X-ray telescope give astronomers new clues about the brightest and most energetic gamma-ray burst ever detected. Scientists detected the brightest gamma-ray burst ever, dubbed GRB 221009A or BOAT, in October 2022. Unlike previous…

The James Webb Telescope has discovered that the early universe had more than 700 galaxies, a finding not known before
