This is the cosmic Spaghetti Nebula! This ionized gas is a remnant of a star that exploded 3,000 light-years away! It spans 160 light-years across. Captured in hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green), itโ€™s a testament to the universeโ€™s powerful artistry.

The image features a fluffy, orange and white cat resting on a surface, looking directly at the viewer with a slightly displeased expression. The cat's fur is voluminous and its ears are perked up. The background is a blurred, neutral tone. Surrounding the cat, there is white text on a black background.

The image is a humorous photo of a tabby cat seated at a tabletop, imitating a human-like posture with its front paws resting on the surface. The cat has a serious expression, and its coat features a mix of gray, black, and brown stripes. The background is out of focus, suggesting an indoor setting. The image includes white text at the top and bottom.
