He should spend more time focusing on his teams poor discipline and less on everything else.

Add in a strict code of ethics for SCOTUS to keep them from legally accepting "gifts".

Several pillars of dust in outer space stretch across the image with impressive detail. There are stars both around and within the pillars. It's the famous Pillars of Creation image, but with even more detail.

The Pillars of Creation from a whole new perspective.

You've likely seen Hubble's famous "Pillars of Creation" image before, but here's an alternative look at it by the James Webb Space Telescope. (1/3)

Forget counting to 10 to calm down. I calculate pi to as many decimal places i can manage.

A fantastic Webb image of the four dust shells expanding away from the three-central-stars system known as Apep. The stars appear as a single point of light.

Have astronomers found a runaway monster black hole or just a very weird galaxy? Despite years of debate and follow-up studies, an odd streak of cosmic light still defies a final explanation. Is it a giant black hole screaming through intergalactic space?

So, have astronomers found a supermassive black hole blasted away from its galaxy and barrelling through intergalactic space... or is it just a weird galaxy?

Reminds me of the joke about the Soviet train system. "The train will arrive at noon on Tuesday. They fail to mention which Tuesday."

This administration does the same thing with the US Constitution and every adverse ruling from a court.

Cropped screenshot of the Cigar Galaxy, M82.

Stacked and Stars Removed (except for the ones closest to M82 because StarX kept removing the starburst regions). Otherwise unprocessed image.

Taken with the Askar 120APO (review coming soon).

A pair of interacting spiral galaxies. On the left is a large spiral galaxy. It's disk is tilted, so that it appears as a oval rather than a circle. It has a bright yellow-white center that transitions into spiral arms. The arms are defined by dark brown dust lanes dotted with pink star forming regions. The area in between is filled with a haze of blue-white stars. Below and to the right is a second galaxy, a smaller, distorted spiral. In its center is a bright yellow nucleus surrounded by a ring of stars that transitions into two spiral arms that form an S shape. The lower spiral arm forks in two. They are all made of a haze of yellow stars. The lower left part of the ring and spiral arms have a concentrated area of dust and red star forming regions. Extending from the inner spiral arms are two much larger, thin spiral arms, dotted with blue star clusters, which lengthen the S-shape. The upper arm appears to touch the edge of the disk of its companion galaxy. On the black background of space are foreground stars, some with diffraction spikes, and tiny background galaxies.

Gemini North image of Arp 84, also known as NGC 5394 and NGC 5395.

Interactions between this galaxy pair funneled gas into the center of the smaller distorted spiral NGC 5394, which fuels a burst of star formation.

All from a nuclear program that was obliterated months ago. Amazing what is said that is never fact checked.

It's because they don't have any idea of how the government works or the definition of socialism.
