Currently reading the Australian Astronomy decadal plan 2026–2035, which was led by the awesome @drgin.bsky.social - Chair of the Editorial Board and National Committee for Astronomy. 👏👏👏 This excellent cover art is called 'Seven Sisters, 2024' by Wajarri Yamaji artist Noeleen Hamlett.

Of course !! Ngc 2915 is also a favourite - has a huge disk of hydrogen gas and a tiny disk of stars at the centre… always makes me ask why didn’t the other gas form stars? 🤔

Love this !! I wrote a paper on this galaxy and the group it resides in, have a soft spot for it so it’s very exciting to see the supernova!
