About 2,000 galaxies make up the Virgo cluster. This #HubbleClassic focuses on one of its members, NGC 4660!
At 54 million light-years away, this galaxy is home to 205 globular clusters, which are spherical groups of stars bound together by gravity: go.nasa.gov/476ZwPe

Multiple bright, young scientists I know have told me they will not be applying to jobs in TX & FL.

The two Ethiopian lakes on the left are alkaline lakes and infested with schistosomiasis, so I'll pass. Lake Langano is on the right is free of the parasite and is a popular tourist destination.
Poyang Lake has just entered it's earliest dry season on record (records began in 1951). Doesn't look inviting.

I bet youโve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a starโs distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavittโs work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix

We recommend that servers use an original banner that really shows what they're about while also making them stand out of the rest. Ideally with cute elephants here and there.
mast.mastodonsports.social, a community for those who want to talk about sports, really took our advice to heart and changed their banner to something quite unique.
It is creative, it is original, and it is also delightful.
