Six Webb images of little red dots are combined in a two-row mosaic. Each little red dot is centered within a square frame and lies against the black background of space. Each dot has a yellow-white circular core surrounded by a red, fuzzy ring. White text in the top left corner of each box lists the source’s name from the Webb surveys, and its redshift. From left to right, the top row reads CEERS 14448, z = 4.75; NGDEEP 4321, z = 8.92; and PRIMER-COS 10539, z = 7.48. The bottom row reads CEERS 20320, z = 5.27; JADES 9186, z = 4.99; and PRIMER-UDS 17818, z = 6.40.

120 million people could experience subzero temps soon. Where the cold will be worst. A lobe of the polar vortex will arrive in the United States this weekend, bringing the lowest temperatures in years and snow and ice to the East and Deep South.

Much of the country is in for widespread and dangerously cold temperatures beginning this weekend — and lasting through much of next week — as a lobe of the polar vortex over northern Greenland is projected to swirl more than 3,000 miles south toward the United States.
