NGC 4388 is located about 60 million ly away in the constellation #Virgo. An ionised gas cloud can be seen, possibly due to a massive black hole at the center of the #galaxy.

Another Early Universe Surprise From The JWST: A Jellyfish Galaxy Astronomers have found a candidate Jellyfish Galaxy only about 5 billion years after the Big Bang. This is earlier than expected, since the ram pressure stripping responsible for it wasn't thought to be possible so early in the Universe's history. The galaxy could explain the puzzling

The following caption comes from this web page: https://science.nasa.gov/asset/webb/macs-j04175-1154-wide-field-nircam-image/ 

"A cosmic question mark appears amid a powerful gravitational lens in the James Webb Space Telescope’s wide-field view of the galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154. Gravitational lensing occurs when something is so massive, like this galaxy cluster, that it warps the fabric of space-time itself, creating a natural funhouse-mirror effect that also magnifies galaxies behind it.
The rarely seen type of lensing captured here, which astronomers term hyperbolic umbilic, created five repeated images of one galaxy pair. The red, elongated member of this pair traces the familiar shape of a question mark across the sky due to the distortion, with another unrelated galaxy happening to be in just the right space-time to appear like the question mark’s dot – especially for humans who love to recognize familiar shapes and patterns."

In case you missed it, here’s the #JWST wide-field view of the huge galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154, known for its stunning gravitational lensing effects and its wild ongoing merger dance. 🔭 🧪 ⚛️

#Women&GirlsinScienceDay Academic & particle physicist Anne Kernan was a huge advocate for women in science, on one occasion funding a trip to CERN for an undergrad she had never met, meeting her at the airport and paying for her accommodation until funding came through. www.dib.ie/biography/ke...

Image of the sky with Uranus at the centre and two of her moons.

Uranus and two of her 28 moons, Titania and Oberon. Currently about 2.7 billion kilometres from Earth, and I was able to get this image from my back garden.

Amazing!

NB - I added the text and labels, they aren’t floating in space 🤣 #astronomy #astrophotography #planets #uranus 🧪 🔭
