JWST This is an image of the Southern Ring Nebula (NGC 3132), captured by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The image combines near- and mid-infrared light from three filters. Webb’s image traces the star’s scattered...

Revuca, Slovakia. Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, Andromeda galaxy, and bright yellowish star Mirach, beta star of the constellation Andromeda, hang in the sky above the comet. Wulan Butong Grasslands, Inner Mongolia. Light pillars caused by floating ice crystals. Image taken from the former space...

It's easy to get lost following the intricate, looping, and twisting filaments of supernova remnant Simeis 147. Also cataloged as Sharpless 2-240, the filamentary nebula goes by the popular nickname the Spaghetti Nebula. Seen toward the boundary of the constellations of the Bull (Taurus) and the...

Picked up 7 1/8's and 6 grams of wax for $247 from TL, I thought that was a steal (the flower is the same skunk ape I got before and its slightly over 30%)...haven't had wax in a long time because the wax I've seen previously was very runny and you couldn't get it all out of the container; this...

Or V'ger Shoutout to NOMAD

I'm not looking forward to even more political crap this year...tired of ALL of it...so I will post stuff that makes me humble in the grand scheme of things....sorry for the rant Seagull Nebula above Pinnacles National Park Milky Way over Devil's Tower

@Vitolo please tell me you got that response in writing and from someone who has the authority to say so; I just don't want anything to go wrong since you've come so far.

ELT coming together nicely... ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is quickly coming together before our eyes. In this webcam image over Cerro Armazones in Chile from 16 February 2024, the setting Sun illuminates the first pieces of cladding installed on the ELT dome. The hemispheric structure...

Last Saturday I went to go get some flower from a new Ayr that's closer to me and the door had a real estate lock on it, weird. So I call a few days later and they said the only thing they can think of is they ran out of medicine...hmmm. So because of that, I had to hit up a Trulieve down the...

Had to post this one...huge image, 14 MB... @cybrguy My God, it's full of stars! Hundreds of thousands of stars are contained in this infrared image of Sagittarius C, a region near the center of the Milky Way. Taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the Chilean Atacama Desert, this...

Globular star cluster 47 Tucanae is a jewel of the southern sky. Also known as NGC 104, it roams the halo of our Milky Way Galaxy along with some 200 other globular star clusters. The second brightest globular cluster (after Omega Centauri) as seen from planet Earth, 47 Tuc lies about 13,000...

Especially for @Vitolo @NYC_Frank Image from Capri, a meteor over the Bay of Naples heading straight for Mount Vesuvius in the background.

So after viewing the two videos, as @Okla68 said, if that don't knock you off your high-horse...and it should make you feel humble cuz we ain't shit in the grand scheme of things. And after watching those two videos, you should read, and take to heart and mind, these words which based on this...

ESO is celebrating! Getting closer! Next stop, Paranal The first 18 main mirror segments of ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) have now safely travelled from Europe to South America, covering more than 10,000 km. Unloading the first shipment of the ELT main mirror segments ELT mirror...

Eclipses have nothing to do with northern or southern lights, it's all about coronal ejections.

From APOD... What's causing those unusual sky arcs? Ice crystals. While crossing a field of fresh snow near Füssen, Bavaria, Germany, earlier this month, the photographer noticed that he had entered an ice fog. For suspended water to freeze into an ice fog requires quite cold temperatures, and...

The high altitude and dry air of the Chajnantor plateau give the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), operated by ESO and its international partners, an optimal window to study the cold dark universe. In this striking picture, the rolling, rusty and barren landscape of the...
