Our fourth and fifth astronomical gifts are … Stephan’s Quintet!
When looking at this image from @NASAWebb, Stephan’s Quintet seems like five galaxies hanging around each other — but did you know that one of them is much closer than the others? go.nasa.gov/3hoan2p
#NASAUniverse


Four of the galaxies are hanging out together about 290 million light-years away, but the fifth and leftmost galaxy in the image below is actually closer to Earth at just 40 million light-years away! Here’s a labeled view from @chandraxray and a ground-based optical telescope.

In a section of sky as tiny as a human viewed from a mile away, @NASAWebb observed four of the oldest and most distant galaxies ever seen. They date to less than 400 million years after the big bang, when the universe was only 2% of its current age. blogs.nasa.gov/webb/

Beauty in the chaos 🌟

These colorful shreds of cosmic material are the "leftovers" of a massive star's supernova explosion!

Known as DEM L 190, this bright supernova remnant resides about 160,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Dorado: go.nasa.gov/3Wi8anN

Chromium Ends JPEG XL Before It Even Lived #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/Jyk87VVfh9s
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I wish more "normies" knew about this and pushed against it. It would also help if chromium forks and website devs push against it. Messaging like "this doesn't work in chrome try ... browser" would really put pressure on Google.


It's going to be a TWO-episode week on Serious Trouble. Just recorded an episode all about Sam Bankman-Fried, which was rollicking fun. Later in the week -- updates on Trump's misfortunes, Avenatti, etc. New episode should drop by morning, the next one by Friday. Tune in.

Welcome to #Artemis, Rwanda and Nigeria. 🇷🇼 🇳🇬

By signing the Artemis Accords, these two nations have joined over 20 others in the commitment to the peaceful and safe exploration of space. go.nasa.gov/3Yit881
#NASAArtemis #Artemis

in reply to NASA

Glad 2 know #NASA 's peaceful efforts affecting #Human #OuterSpace cooperation, growth & prosperity, as in our current context of wars between nations, the fragility of cooperative interests is precarious, & these accords will, over the next 500 yrs, limit the oppressive nature of colonialistic expansion into outer space vs peaceful partnerships! Let just relations b our guiding principles!

Time to shine. 💫

Don’t miss the annual Geminids meteor shower, peaking between Dec. 13-14. A waning gibbous moon will make it harder to view most of the shower, but the Geminids burn so bright, up to 30-40 should be visible per hour! go.nasa.gov/3FLOAuW

Gene: Nice view, huh?
Jack: The horizon’s ok. Not very colorful, though.
Gene: D’you wanna listen to some tunes?
Jack: Sure. Whatcha got?
Gene: uh, let’s see, Bowie-Major Tom, Floyd-Eclipse, and Elton-Rocket Man.
Jack: hmmm. No CCR-Bad Moon Rising?
Gene: Oh shit, I missed a turn.
Jack: Haha. Good thing your wife isn’t here to get on you about that, right?
Gene: Amen, brother. It’s nice to get out with just the dudes.
Jack: Righteous. Go with CCR, bro.
Gene: Righteous.
