JWST’s Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) analyzed 263 galaxies from the early universe and revealed a significant asymmetry: roughly 66% spin clockwise, while only about 33% rotate counterclockwise. Does this mean the universe is in a spinning black hole? academic.oup.com/mnras/articl...

Congrats to Natasha Van Bemmel on winning an MNRAS Student Prize. The MNRAS editors selected her first‑author paper, An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z~0.3 with KNTraP, as one of six best student‑led publications this year, what a debut!

Truly saddened – but unsurprised – by this news about charges to Australians publishing in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

They want $5k per paper? They're dreaming. I've published 102 papers in MNRAS. At $5k a pop, that's the same as hiring an actual researcher for 3 years!

Screenshot of part of an email sent to members of the Astronomical Society of Australia (ASA). Black text on white background. It reads as follows: "Dear ASA members, Many of you are already aware of changes associated with publication in MNRAS. From 1 Jan 2025, publishing in MNRAS will attract an Article Processing Charge (APC). Our community publishes a substantial fraction of its work in MNRAS, so this is a significant change. The reason for this change is the recent failure in negotiations between Oxford University Press (the publisher of MNRAS) and CAUL (the Council of Australian University Libraries) to include Gold Open Access to MNRAS in the new OUP – CAUL deal. I am presently trying to get more details from CAUL, specifically relating to the timeframes for this arrangement and how it was arrived at. However, it seems certain that for 2025 at least (and likely beyond) publishing in MNRAS will come with a financial cost to the authors."

To map the vibration of the universe, astronomers built a detector the size of the galaxy
A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and lopsided picture of the universe.

When we look at this LOFAR radio map overlaid on Pan-STARRS optical light, it almost feels like we’re seeing the supermassive black hole in J1007+3540, right at this giant radio galaxy’s center, awaken in real time.

LOFAR DR2 image of J1007+3540 superimposed over a soft optical background from Pan-STARRS. You see a bright compact spot right in the middle—that’s the inner jet lighting up again—surrounded by fainter, sprawling lobes and a long wispy tail stretching off at the bottom. The whole thing looks like a huge, uneven radio structure emerging from a small galaxy dot in the center.

A new study in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society suggests the universe may rotate—just extremely slowly. The finding could help solve one of astronomy’s biggest puzzles.

Using the dollar cost of an MNRAS APC as a basis, this means that we have now saved the global astrophysics community about $1.1M (for an outlay of around $10K).
