In my years in journalism I have witnessed and sat through many distressing things But hearing a mother speak about how her 7-year-old daughter twice fought to escape from the Southport murderer, protected other children and suffered 33 stab wounds is one of the most harrowing things I can remember

'My daughter escaped Southport killer twice and I want to tell you her story'
In remarkable and deeply emotional testimony, the mother of a young girl devastatingly injured in the Southport attacks has told of how her daughter fought against the odds

Webb's first deep field. This is so deep space that if you'll look at this portion in the sky, you'll see complete darkness. 🔭 🧪
The James Webb Space Telescope's first deep field image reveals a stunning tapestry of galaxies, both near and far. The image showcases a vast expanse of space, filled with countless stars and galaxies of various shapes and sizes. Some galaxies appear as bright, swirling spirals, while others are more distant and faint, mere smudges of light. This image offers a glimpse into the early universe, allowing us to explore the origins of our cosmos.

There's got to be something more that can be done to punish those who carry out such cruel acts. It may not be a human that's been taken, but it's still a life that's been snuffed out in the most barbaric way

once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes
The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image.A circular-shaped nebula with a complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly on the left side of the image, are curtains of material glowing orange like fire. Interior to this outer shell is a ring of mottled filaments in bright pink, studded with clumps and knots. A greenish loop extends from the upper right of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image.The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.
