We're seeing now exactly why every big company is fighting against universal health care. Decouple health insurance from work and people are free to quit their bad jobs. If people quit their bad jobs, companies will have to pay living wages to attract workers. Can't have that.

MAGA poor really thought the tech bros and Trump were on their side. Same energy as believing the stripper is in love with you.

an absolute sucker for a cotton candy sky

illustration of power lines and a rooftop silhouetted against a cotton candy sky. a faint crescent moon in the top right corner, one single crow on the lines. snowflakes softly falling but THIS TIME the colours are RIGHT it's higher contrast! pinker! sharper! bolder! but still soft :)

Clean image of galaxy cluster MACS J1423, where the Firefly Sparkle galaxy is located. 🔭 🧪

Thousands of overlapping objects at various distances are spread across this field, including galaxies in a massive galaxy cluster, and distorted background galaxies behind the galaxy cluster. The background of space is black.

Spiral galaxy NGC 2276 captured by nasa

The magnificent spiral galaxy NGC 2276 looks a bit lopsided in this Hubble Space Telescope snapshot. A bright hub of older yellowish stars normally lies directly in the center of most spiral galaxies. But the bulge in NGC 2276 looks offset to the upper left.

In reality, a neighboring galaxy to the right of NGC 2276 (NGC 2300, not seen here) is gravitationally tugging on its disk of blue stars, pulling the stars on one side of the galaxy outward to distort the galaxy's normal fried-egg appearance.

This sort of "tug of war" between galaxies that pass close enough to feel each other's gravitational pull is not uncommon in the universe. But, like snowflakes, no two close encounters look exactly alike.

In addition, newborn and short-lived massive stars form a bright, blue arm along the upper left edge of NGC 2276. They trace out a lane of intense star formation. This may have been triggered by a prior collision with a dwarf galaxy. It could also be due to NGC 2276 plowing into the superheated gas that lies among galaxies in galaxy clusters. This would compress the gas to precipitate into stars, and trigger a firestorm of starbirth.

The spiral galaxy lies 120 million light-years away, in the northern constellation Cepheus.

This image was taken as part of the HST observation program #15615 (PI: P. Sell), a collaboration between the University of Florida (USA), the University of Crete/FORTH (Greece), INAF-Brera (Italy), and the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (USA).

The next official JWST release will be of a high resolution image of The Firefly Sparkle galaxy: the earliest stages of the assembly of a Milky Way-type galaxy in a 600 Myr old universe. 🔭 🧪

The Firefly Sparkle is a redshift zs⁢p⁢e⁢c = 8.304 ± 0.001 gravitationally magnified arc lensed by the MACS J1423.8+2404 cluster. Left: Full field with the three objects of interest - Firefly Sparkle (center), Firefly-Best Friend (FF-BF; bottom left), and Firefly-New Best Friend (FF-NBF; bottom right) - shown in boxes and circles. The contours show the lines of lensing magnifications (μ= 15, 20, 30, and 40). Top right: zoom in on the Firefly Sparkle with the clusters labelled. Bottom right: source plane reconstruction of the Firefly Sparkle with the position of neighbor FF-BF shown in red circle.

this is probably one of my favorite hubble images of all time 🌌

$Three bright stars with diffraction spikes shine near the center-right of the image, illuminating nearby clouds that glow in pale blue. The clouds darken at the edges of the image, and are dotted with smaller stars, some also with diffraction spikes. image credit: NASA, ESA, G.

jwst’s recent images 🌌

A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disc. It has a shining spot at the centre from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disc fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars.

Image of a galaxy on the black background of space. The galaxy is a very oblong, blue disk that extends from left to right at an angle (from about 10 o’clock to 5 o’clock). The galaxy has a small bright core at the center. There is an inner disk that is clearer, with speckles of stars scattered throughout. The outer disk of the galaxy is whiteish-blue, and clumpy, like clouds in the sky. There are different colored dots, distant galaxies, speckled among the black background of space surrounding the galaxy.

Two spiral galaxies take the shape of a colorful beaded mask that sits above the nose. The galaxy at left, IC 2163, is smaller, taking up a little over a quarter of the view. The galaxy at right, NGC 2207, takes up half the view, with its spiral arms reaching the edges. IC 2163 has a bright orange core, with two prominent spiral arms that rotate counter clockwise and become straighter towards the ends, the left side extending almost to the edge. Its arms are a mix of pink, white, and blue, with an area that takes the shape of an eyelid appearing whitest. NGC 2207 has a very bright core. Overall, it appears to have larger, thicker spiral arms that spin counter clockwise. This galaxy also contains more and larger blue areas of star formation that poke out like holes from the pink spiral arms. In the middle, the galaxies’ arms appear to overlap. The edges show the black of space, including extremely distant galaxies that look like orange and red smudges, and a few foreground stars.

A large spiral galaxy takes up the entirety of the image. The core is mostly bright white, but there are also swirling, detailed structures that resemble water circling a drain. There is small white and pale blue light that emanates from stars and dust at the core’s center, but it is tightly limited to the core. The rings feature colors of deep red and orange and highlight filaments of dust around cavernous black bubbles.
