Giant black hole at cosmic dawn
Meet J1342+0928, now the most distant quasar yet known, containing the most-distant-yet supermassive black hole. Both exist at a time just 690 million years after the Big Bang.
N. Hemisphere? Watch for earliest sunsets
The 2017 solstice will arrive on December 21, but the earliest sunsets at mid-northern latitudes are happening now. S. Hemisphere? Then watch for your earliest sunrises.
Turning hurricanes into music
A meteorologist and a music technologist are turning data from tropical storms into musical graphs. Can listening to storms help us understand them?
Where's the moon? Waning gibbous
Watch for the moon late at night now, or in the early morning. When you see it, you might think it looks oddly egg-shaped, like a misshapen clone of a full moon.

Christmas lights and the king tide

Mimi Ditchie captured this photo at low tide on Monday - the day of the king tide at Pismo Beach, California - following Sunday's supermoon.
