New JWST image of protostar HH 30, with legend. 🔭 🧪

A close-in image of protoplanetary disc HH 30. Parts of the image are labelled “Jet” (above and below the disc), “Conical Outflow”, “Possible Spiral”, “Dark Lane”, “Disk”, and “Tail”. A scale marker in the bottom-left is labelled “300 au”; this is a little wider than the disc itself, but less wide than the conical outflows above and below the disc

While Roman engineers and architects were building cities, termites in Brazil excavated a massive network of galleries, creating millions of mounds that persisted until today and can be seen from space phys.org/news/2018-11... … A good reminder of the power and scale of collective intelligence.

Eye in the sky. You're looking at the Ring Nebula, the remnant of a star that had the mass of 3 suns and exploded ~4,000 years ago. 🔭 🧪

This image of the Ring Nebula appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements.

The stars in NGC 602 have fewer heavier elements compared to the Sun and most of the rest of the galaxy. Instead, the conditions within NGC 602 mimic those for stars found billions of years ago when the universe was much younger. chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2024/n... 🔭 🧪

This stunning composite image from the James Webb and Chandra telescopes reveals the intricate details of NGC 602, a young star cluster nestled within the Small Magellanic Cloud. Webb's infrared observations pierce through dust to reveal nascent stars and intricate dust structures, while Chandra's X-ray data highlights the hot gas sculpted by powerful stellar winds and supernova explosions from the cluster's massive stars. The resulting image showcases a vibrant tapestry of colors, with swirling patterns of red, green, and blue illuminating the interplay between star formation and the surrounding interstellar medium, offering valuable insights into the evolution of star clusters and their impact on galactic environments.

Starts at top:

I need a paper!

Does it have a DOI? or Is it a book?

I don’t know
Find out!
Search for the title on
Google and see if you
can find a DOI on the
page where it was
published

OA.mg
They have all Open Access papers
and PDFs for many other papers too

Yes. (It's a book.)

LibGen

(www. libgen. tw),
they have millions of books

I titled this image “Midnight” because the dark rocks reminded me of a night sky, and the scattered leaves felt like stars shining brightly. Sometimes, I let my imagination take over and just go with it. Happy #waterfall Wednesday! #fall #landscapephotography #photography #nature

Long-exposure image of a waterfall cascading over dark rocks, with golden autumn leaves scattered across the wet surfaces, creating a contrast between the flowing water and the vibrant foliage.

Space ring. This is only one object (a quasar) whose light was distorted from our perspective due to gravitational lensing effect, caused by a foreground massive galaxy. 🔭 🧪

$A small image of a galaxy distorted by gravitational lensing into a dim ring. At the top of the ring are three very bright spots with diffraction spikes coming off them, right next to each other: these are copies of a single quasar in the lensed galaxy, duplicated by the gravitational lens. In the centre of the ring, the elliptical galaxy doing the lensing appears as a small blue dot. The background is black and empty.$
