Four dust shells expand away from three central stars that appear as a single pinpoint of light. The innermost shell is smallest, like the size of a thumbprint, and brightest. It is yellow and forms a backward lowercase e. A line at 3 o’clock swoops to the bottom-left in an arc that ends at 8 o’clock. A second line at 9 o’clock dips down to start, but then goes straight up, angling around the top. The second shell, about the size of a fist, is orange and has looser arcs. One appears from 4 to 7 o’clock. A brighter orange triangle appears from 10 to 12 o’clock. Its outer edges overlap, forming a rough circle. The third shell extends almost to the edges and is semi-translucent red, with similar arcs and a darker red line that also forms a faint triangle at top left. The widest shell is faintest and at the edges. A semi-transparent blue appears across the scene. A larger foreground star with spikes is at bottom left, and more distant stars and galaxies are strewn across the black expanse of space.

NEWS: Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to refine the orbit of two Wolf-Rayet stars—named for the Egyptian god of chaos—to a lengthy 190 years and confirmed a third star carves their ongoing carbon dust ejections. 🔭 🧪 (1/6) 🧵

The average impact velocity at the Moon is somewhere between 16 and 20 kilometres per second.

This is the result of even a modest space rock hitting the lunar surface at that speed.

A galaxy set against a field of stars. The galaxy’s bright core emits powerful jets of glowing gas—one orange and one bluish—extending outward into space. A dark dust lane cuts across the center, partially obscuring the bright light from the core.

Meet our nearest giant galaxy 👀

One of the most spectacular objects in the sky, Centaurus A is located 13 million light-years away. Here we see the jets ejected from the galaxy centre, signatures of the presence of a supermassive black hole. 🔭

Lacatski, not so defensive anymore. Nice to see. He also says that he's willing to testify to "we have a craft." Good interview.

An orangey scene of scattered boulders and pebbles on a flat, sandy plain. The quality of the image is poor, and it's difficult to make out boulders farther from the camera. The far distance lacks any detail. The image has two black, vertical bars on the sides.

This is the surface of Saturn's giant icy moon Titan, photographed by the Huygens probe on 14 January 2005.

It is the farthest place from Earth where we have so far landed.

Open Sesame!

The ELT doors have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed.

The ELT dome & its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert.

This is footage taken earlier today of the eye of Hurricane Melissa.

The entire view is remarkable, of the core of one of the strongest Atlantic basic hurricanes in recorded history, and a catastrophic hit to Jamaica and the central Caribbean.

Ganymede, photographed by NASA's Juno spacecraft, showing regions of dark and light that are criss-crossed by tectonic lineaments and impact crater rays. The lower portion of the moon is in darkness, the background black like a doll's eye.

Ganymede.

The biggest moon in the Solar System.

Bigger than Mercury, and with a rocky interior under NINE HUNDRED KILOMETRES of ice and water.

A blue feminine goddess. She has one bird talon for a foot. The other is normal. Seven black inky cobra serpents extend from her palms. She has flowing white hair. On her bare chest is the Star of Babalon, a seven pointed figure. Set upon her head is a crown of seven points. Over her head is an eye of RA set between cow horns. Wings extend therefrom. At her abdomen is a gold chalice above which a conjoined sun and moon radiate blackness. 

On the left it says IN NOMINE BABALON
On the right it says ET VOX SANCTE MERETRICIS

A few bright, blueish star-shaped features are dotted throughout the scene. The remaining features are smaller, a little less bright, and of various shapes. The background is darkest black.

For your Wednesday, friends, have a deep-field image from #JWST taken late 2023 and early 2024.

The six-sided features are stars in the Milky Way.

Everything else you see?
