Koalas sleep 18-22 hours a day.
Male lions sleep 20 hours a day.

Koalas sleep 18-22 hours a day. Male lions sleep 20 hours a day. So koalas are baby lions?

NASA celebrated the James Webb telescope's completion of its "fine phasing" alignment protocols by releasing an image: ( click here to see a larger version of the image) the image is of 2MASS J17554042+6551277, a main-sequence star about 2000 light years from Earth. The JWST team hopes that all alignment protocols will be complete by May, with full science operations commencing this summer (fingers crossed).

^ observations were made using the Spitzer, and also Subaru, VISTA, and the UK Infrared Telescope.
Scientists are expected to re-check this once the James Webb is online.

I am not always a fan of Sabine (maybe she reminds me too much of old school teachers and undergrad profs I had ) but her recent breakdown on nuclear power is excellent. I have been looking for a breakdown of the situation with just the right level of detail from someone who at least tries to be unbiased for a long time and hers is the closest I have seen so far. Really recommend watching it:

Sagittarius A* is a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. On May 12, 2022, astronomers, using the Event Horizon Telescope, released a photograph of Sagittarius A* produced using data from radio observations in April 2017, confirming the object to be a black hole. This is the second confirmed image of a black hole, after Messier 87's supermassive black hole in 2019. At the same time Anton Petrov reached 1 million subscribers. Here is a (very long) video of both events: Black Hole In The Milky Way Center Revealed! Million Wonderful People Live Stream. - Anton Petrov.

I am curious if it will become known in my life time what exactly a black hole is/does/its function is.

No. It's not the cube jellyfish. It's much, much worse. They don't even know how many are being killed, because when they're dead and have stopped screaming, it looks like heart failure, stroke, or brain hemorrhage, and it may very well be all those things, caused by pain.

A lot of what we already know (from general relativity) is expected to hold up: that they are regions where gravitation is so intense that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light (and so are shrouded by an event horizon), that they come in different varieties and sizes (stellar-mass black holes that form from collapsing massive stars, vs. supermassive black holes in the cores of most galaxies, and, potentially, primordial black holes that formed in the early universe without having ever been stars), that the supermassive varieties can have accretion discs and relativistic jets from their poles, and so on. The parts that are really still major unknowns are the finer-grain details, especially as it pertains to the interiors of black holes... and this isn't only because we can't directly observe their interiors- it is expected that quantum effects would play a significant role in determining how their interior works, and in particular what happens at their core... Classical physics tells us there is a singularity (or ringularity, in a more physically realistic black hole, since its rotation would spin the point-like singularity into a ring rather than a point) at the center of a black hole, but singularities are almost certainly purely mathematical objects- not physical ones- that represent a breakdown in the math of our model rather than something physically real. It is generally believed that the spacetime singularity at the center of a black hole- just like the spacetime singularity at the hypothetical "t=0" or initial moment of the Big Bang expansion- are symptoms of classical physics (general relativity) breaking down, and that a proper quantum theory would not contain such a singularity. And indeed that's exactly what happens in candidate theories of quantum gravity like string/superstring/M-theory: there is no central singularity... because in a sense there isn't an interior to a black hole at all (this is oversimplifying, but this is more or less what happens from what I understand). The problem is that none of our candidate theories of quantum gravity- including/especially string theory- make any testable predictions (at least not as of yet), and so we can't tell which is correct, if any of them are. So we are waiting for physicists to come up with- and confirm- a theory of quantum gravity. That alone will tell us much about how black holes really work, and (possibly better yet), would tell us a great deal about what happened in the very early universe as well (such as what, if anything, preceded the Big Bang expansion).

This first image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground. Source

SourceWell, I dunno, but I think he mispoke in some way about that grain of sand at arms length? Because I suspect this might be a smaller angle? We see gravitational lenses here. Why? Because I don't see what causes it?

So far away that whatever magnifies them - and is between us and them -, is not visible. Very fascinating.
