Wow—gorgeous Webb photo of a stellar nursery, surrounded by the varied clouds of a nebula, near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud. The existence of dark clouds of dense dust & the fact that the cluster is rich in ionized gas suggests the presence of ongoing star formation processes.

We have yet to process what happened. That’s why you almost never see any mention of Covid on tv shows or in movies. I think that’s also why so many people refuse to wear a mask—to do so would require reckoning with what has happened.
