The image shows a series of red fingers of shocked molecular gas expanding from the bottom of the image towards the top and top right. Each of the fingers comprises a series of bright arcs of emission like bow waves, expanding behind tips, the latter often appearing green. There are many stars spread across the image with the characteristic eight spikes due to diffraction in the optics of Webb, and there is a foreground haze of wisp blue clouds due to the Orion Nebula, which lies in front of the fingers.

I’m sorry … WOT?!

I relate to this more than is comfortable 😣

1.) Twitter is DDoSing itself because Elon is an idiot.

2.) Twitter is losing servers after the company ignored bills because Elon is an idiot.

3.) Twitter hopes to force people to pay because Elon is an idiot.
