Messier 43 is a neighbour of Orion nebula Credit:Nasa,ESA

Separated from the Orion Nebula (M42) by only a dark lane of dust, M43 was recognized as a distinct nebula by the French astronomer Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan in 1731. A massive star is illuminating M43 and sculpting its landscape of dust and gas with its radiation. Astronomers call the area a miniature Orion Nebula because of its small size and the single star that is shaping it.NASA, ESA, M.

Full view of NGC 4490 by MIRI. Processed by @thocarp.bsky.social www.flickr.com/photos/19746... 🔭 🧪

This image, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), showcases the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4490, also known as the "Cocoon Galaxy." The image reveals a vibrant display of star formation, with young, hot stars illuminating clouds of gas and dust in hues of red and orange. The galaxy's intricate structure, including its prominent bar and spiral arms, is highlighted in stunning detail. NGC 4490 is located approximately 65 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici.

jwst’s recent images 🌌

A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disc. It has a shining spot at the centre from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disc fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars.

Image of a galaxy on the black background of space. The galaxy is a very oblong, blue disk that extends from left to right at an angle (from about 10 o’clock to 5 o’clock). The galaxy has a small bright core at the center. There is an inner disk that is clearer, with speckles of stars scattered throughout. The outer disk of the galaxy is whiteish-blue, and clumpy, like clouds in the sky. There are different colored dots, distant galaxies, speckled among the black background of space surrounding the galaxy.

Two spiral galaxies take the shape of a colorful beaded mask that sits above the nose. The galaxy at left, IC 2163, is smaller, taking up a little over a quarter of the view. The galaxy at right, NGC 2207, takes up half the view, with its spiral arms reaching the edges. IC 2163 has a bright orange core, with two prominent spiral arms that rotate counter clockwise and become straighter towards the ends, the left side extending almost to the edge. Its arms are a mix of pink, white, and blue, with an area that takes the shape of an eyelid appearing whitest. NGC 2207 has a very bright core. Overall, it appears to have larger, thicker spiral arms that spin counter clockwise. This galaxy also contains more and larger blue areas of star formation that poke out like holes from the pink spiral arms. In the middle, the galaxies’ arms appear to overlap. The edges show the black of space, including extremely distant galaxies that look like orange and red smudges, and a few foreground stars.

A large spiral galaxy takes up the entirety of the image. The core is mostly bright white, but there are also swirling, detailed structures that resemble water circling a drain. There is small white and pale blue light that emanates from stars and dust at the core’s center, but it is tightly limited to the core. The rings feature colors of deep red and orange and highlight filaments of dust around cavernous black bubbles.

I really hope this doesn’t turn into another global pandemic. Hopefully WHO can identify & contain the cause. If we have learned anything from COVID it should be that early action can make a huge difference. RFK, Oz, and other health nominees give me way less hope 😬 www.forbes.com/sites/davewe...

A space nebula in a rainbow color palette. It looks a little bit like a seagull flapping its wings.

Me watching a film. 1. Start watching. 2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before. 3. Google actor. 4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page. 5. Find out every single detail of their entire life. 6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.
