Summary
It's been an eventful week in science news. The technique boils down to "combining JWST's sharp vision with a natural magnifying glass," said lead author Andrew Newman, from Carnegie Science. It's the farthest dormant black hole that astronomers have been able to directly measure to date, and the findings could help scientists better understand the formation of massive black holes and galaxies billions of years ago. Scientists say a meteorite found in Africa's Sahara Desert holds evidence of a protoplanet that orbited their sun 4.5 billion years ago.
