BREAKING ๐จ: The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a chain of 20 galaxies, dubbed the Cosmic Vine. ๐ฎ
Which stretches 13 million light-years across and dates back to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging models of early galaxy clustering.

AURORA COLOR GUIDE: If you are seeing red or green these Auroras are at an altitude of 150 mile or higher!

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT! ๐ฒ
Northern lights tonight will likely not be visible much further south than Kentucky, but tomorrow, northern lights could be visible as far south as Texas and Georgia. Get those camera ready!

Classified as an irregular dwarf galaxy, UGC 4879 is a little smaller and messier than its cosmic cousins, lacking the majestic swirl of a spiral or the coherence of an elliptical.
This galaxy is relatively isolated. Its nearest neighbor is about 2.3 million light-years away!
