1/6 🧪 ⚛️ #histsci #WomenInSTEM 🧵 There are shining examples of the fact that mathematics is not a “boys only” club. One among these is Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, marquise du Châtelet, born #OTD in 1706. A woman of many intellectual interests, Émilie⤵️

The image features Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, marquise
du Châtelet (1706-1749), French mathematician and physicist, in a
painting by Maurice Quentin de La Tour. Émilie is sitting at her desk.
She is dressed in noble clothes and has a hairstyle typical of
18th-century France. She is gently supporting her head with her left
hand, by her cheek; with her right hand she is handling a compass
pointed at the page of a book.

The image is in the Public Domain.

This view shows puffing dust bubbles and an erupting gas shell — the final acts of a monster star.
It is about the star AG Carinae. The image showcases the details of the ionised hydrogen and ionised nitrogen emissions from the nebula (seen here in red). The blue demonstrates the contrasting appearance of the distribution of the dust that shines of reflected stellar light. Astronomers believe that the dust bubbles and filaments formed within and were shaped by powerful stellar wind .
The star is surrounded by an expanding shell of gas and dust — a nebula — that is shaped by the powerful winds emanating from the star. The nebula is about five light-years wide, equal to the distance from here to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri.

Image cutout shows a pedestal crater on the surface of Mars. The ejecta blanket from the original impact is still visible around the crater, because it was more resistant to erosion than the surrounding terrain.

A closeup of the impact crater. The crater rim is very eroded and there are numerous large boulders around the crater.

On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

1/n 2 NEW epic images of Phobos over Mars just released by @esa.int Mars Express This view is especially striking, with Phobos between the Tharsis volcanoes and Noctis Labyrinthus–Valles Marineris Full resolution 300MP(!) & info on: flic.kr/p/2rMW4so Credit: ESA/DLR/FUBerlin/AndreaLuck CC BY 🧪🔭

$A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet’s night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars’s surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars’s satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.$
