A thin structure of dark gas clouds spreads across the image. The pillar is darker and broader at the base, thin toward the middle, and broadens out again at the top, with spikes, fingers, and wisps of gas protruding in all directions from its head. Some parts of the pillar are illuminated, but most are dark and silhouetted at the edges and lit from behind. A wall of colorful gas lies behind the pillar, bluish at the top and redder toward the bottom, with several blue and gold stars scattered across it. Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, K. Noll

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.

A filamentary orange veil covers a bright region of star formation. The background is dark, stippled with stars and galaxies ranging from small bright dots to starry shapes. The foreground veil spans from upper left to the bottom right and resembles a seahorse. Bright stars light up the ‘eye’ and ‘chest’ regions of the seahorse with purple light. Within the tail, three bright spots sit in a traffic-light like formation.

This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.

Photo of Senator Chris Van Hollen with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

sorry if i like your posts immediately, it will happen again 🙂‍↕️

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

Black and white photo of the Andromeda Galaxy, a spiral galaxy with a strong central bulge. Two smaller satellite galaxies float nearby, and the foreground is dotted with stars.

The first photo of the Andromeda galaxy was taken by astronomer Isaac Roberts #OTD in 1888.

The image, captured with his 20" reflector, revealed a clear spiral structure. But scientists at the time thought M31 was a nebula, a gas cloud in our galaxy. 🧪 🔭

For these last few days, posting a selection of my best astrophotos from 2024. Up first, the total solar eclipse from April 8th, taken from Dardanelle AR🔭

not even remotely controversial

Art showcase.

Some of the 3d models I built this year.

Enjoy.

2000 years ago some chick got knocked up and pretended God did it and now I have to hang out with my family and eat ham next to an indoor tree

Merry Christmas from Zooey and me from the deep winter wonderland of Montana. It's a white Christmas too!

We woke early this morning to open presents with our family.

I could not be more blessed than to share this life with my wonderful wife and the family we've made.

A photo of Earth taken from the ISS taking up the left hand side of the image vertically. The thin orange atmospheric glow can be seen along with various city lights scattered around the planet. On the right side of the image, many bright white stars dot the blackness of space.

wow, simply gorgeous.
