The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

NASA's MESSENGER Satellite Captures Spectacular Color Mosaic of Mercury - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/9uD599

NASA image acquired: January 14, 2008

This spectacular color mosaic shows the eastern limb of Mercury as seen by MESSENGER as the spacecraft departed the planet following the mission's first Mercury flyby in January 2008. The colors of this image are not those that would be seen by the human eye but instead convey information about the distribution of different rock types on Mercury's surface. The different rock types result in subtle color variations across all of the 11 WAC narrow-band color filters. The Caloris basin, visible as a large bright yellow circular area in this image due to its infill of volcanic plains, dominates the northern region. A similar image was published in Science magazine in July 2008, but it only covered the northern half of the region shown here. To create this larger color mosaic, MESSENGER Science Team members had to also devise a method to deal with scattered light in the 11 different WAC filters. MESSENGER has obtained color imaging at this resolution only for the portions of Mercury seen on departure from Mercury flybys 1 and 2.

As spectacular as this color image is, it is just a taste of what is yet to come. In 2011, MESSENGER will become the first spacecraft ever to orbit Mercury and begin a year-long observing campaign that includes imaging all of Mercury's surface in color at an average resolution of about 1 kilometer/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel), a resolution that is about a factor of three better than this already impressive image.

The Lagoon Nebula in Infrared light - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/egmQmU

This infrared image of the Lagoon nebula contrasts heavily with traditional images taken in visible light. Such images primarily display the striking magenta colour from glowing Hydrogen gas, as well as large dark obscuring clouds of dust.

The infrared part of the spectrum penetrates these clouds better and reveals complex details and thousands of young stars that are otherwise completely invisible. These stars shine primarily in the infrared and appear as golden red in this image. Only a minority of these are visible in traditional optical images.

To create this image I used a special infrared filter. Effectively the band observed is 700-1100nm since the sillicon CCD chip is not responsive to wavelengths longer than that, and this band is called NIR (Near Infrared). One issue arising from this technique is that the NIR band does not have a colour as such, since it lies outside the visible light spectrum.
To create a colour image from the NIR data I have developed a colour stacking technique which has produced promising results so far.
I use the NIR filter together with G and B filters to create a colour composite. The resulting images are assigned to the different channels as NIR->Luminance, NIR->Red, G->Green and B->Blue.

Substituting the R channel with NIR nicely brings out the contrast between the nebula itself and all the young obscured stars that shine primarily in infrared. This colour image is then overlaid with the NIR frame used as luminousity....

In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.

N132D X-Ray and Optical Composite - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/nPcFtT

This is a composite of 7 channels of data. From Hubble, we've got wideband blue, mediumband green, and H-alpha, and wideband near-infrared data. From Chandra, we've got low, intermediate, and high energy x-rays.

These Hubble data are, in my opinion, some of the most difficult in the archive to process because the object is within such a densely packed region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. I've processed them once before with interesting results but I wanted to try again to see if I could get it a bit more natural and I also wanted to take the opportunity to include x-ray data available via openFITS.

The colors undoubtedly look very fantastical and unrealistic to you so I will create a metaphor to help you pretend it is actually realistic. If you were a being capable of seeing in x-rays, you might have a different eye on your head for this purpose rather than a single one. If this x-ray eye could see in color, then the x-rays would be just as colorful as the visible light your familiar set of eyes can see. So imagine you are a cool alien with this extra eye in addition to your two normal eyes and what you see might look something like this.

In fact, you could take color x-rays of your own flesh and bones if it were acceptable and useful to bombard your body with three times as much energy as a black and white x-ray requires and then you would be very familiar with color x-rays. It would be more fun to go to the dentist. Anyway...

Great thread but heavy, if you aren’t up for a discussion of genocide (in particular the ways Bluesky is actively enabling the genocide of our community) skip past this one but if you’re up for it it’s important information on why this place isn’t that safe for us anymore and we shouldn’t trust it.
