A digital artwork of a cosmic scene featuring a vibrant nebula with glowing blue and yellow hues. The nebula has a butterfly-like shape, with wisps of gas and dust illuminated against a dark, starry background. Bright stars are scattered throughout, creating a sense of depth and wonder in the vastness of space.

In the nebula's radiant waltz, stardust whispers ancient secrets. A butterfly of light emerges—sapphire wings aglow, heart of golden fire, a celestial marvel.

I don't know if I have the proper words to convey how excited, surprised, awestruck, and thrilled I am for this. I had no idea it was even coming, as I haven't been paying attention to news. Oblivion meant so much to me when I was younger. It's time to explore Cyrodiil again.

And the other one, my goofy girl.

This is what happens when galaxies collide; a billion year gravitational waltz.

This supercomputer simulation includes images from Hubble of actual galactic collisions at different stages.

One of my favorite pictures of my beautiful boy, Apollo.

the samoyed appears to have spotted the photographer and might be slowly considering walking their way. there’s a person on an aisle seat between here and there on an iPad who obviously has not spotted the most important in-flight entertainment offering.

We only rate dogs. This is a cloud that has somehow gotten inside the airplane. Very cute. But also very concerning. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10

The image is visually striking. At the centre is the elliptical galaxy, visible as an oval glow with a small, bright nucleus, surrounded by a smooth halo. A ring of light, appearing as a broad, distorted band, surrounds this galaxy: this is the background spiral galaxy, distorted by gravitational lensing. The ring shows bright blue hues, where the spiral arms have been stretched into circles, with details of star clusters and gaseous structures still discernible despite the distortion. The background is black, dotted with a few distant objects, which accentuate the contrast with the ring and the central galaxy. The overall effect is that of a “cosmic eye”, an image that captures the imagination and bears witness to the complexity of the universe.

For people who missed it, there is a #JWST recent image
depicting a rare and fascinating astronomical phenomenon: an Einstein ring.

The spectacular image shows two distant galaxies, which at first glance look like a single galaxy

This is Lucie. The stairs in her home are unfortunately haunted. She gets possessed every time she goes down them. 13/10

This week’s image is of the galaxy NGC 772! Gemini’s GMOS-N captured this galaxy’s stunning spiral morphology and abundant other galaxies in the background. Marvelous galaxies like these can be found in galaxy clusters. Check out the 🧵 for more papers on galaxy clusters! #astronomy

New @coheedandcambria.bsky.social all day on repeat. Gonna be a good day.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

This will never get old 🤣

Me me me

It was a lot of fun, and I loved all of your descriptions about how the magic worked!
