Remember when 5G antennas (antennae?) spread COVID-19? Good times. Whatever happened to that theory? It had so much potential.

LEDA 1313424, nicknamed the Bullseye, has 9 rings. Hubble has confirmed 8 rings, and data from the W. M. Keck Observatory confirmed a 9th. Hubble and Keck confirmed which galaxy drove through the Bullseye, creating these rings: the blue dwarf galaxy immediately center-left.

In less than 2 months, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft will break the 1 light-day milestone, meaning one-way delay for radio signals between it and the Earth will be 24 hours. 49 years in the making.

Jupiter - From Gordan Ugarković (ugordan.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/BfyQX

This is currently my best guess at a true color image of Jupiter. Color balance is based on recent Earth-based views and also using Hubble images. The image was taken by Cassini on 13 November 2000 and is one of the last single-frame footprints on approach where all three approx. red, green and blue filters exist.

Narrow-angle composite taken from a distance of 44.8 million km and at a phase angle of 18 degrees.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

🆕 This NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope image shows planetary nebula NGC 2392, nicknamed the 'Lion Nebula'. This near- and mid-infrared composite image reveals the complex structure of the nebula 🧪🔭 esawebb.org/images/weic2... @science.esa.int @stsci.edu

$Planetary nebula NGC 2392, also called the Lion Nebula, against the black background of space. The nebula is in the centre, circular in shape, and looks like a male lion’s head. In the very centre is a small, pinkish-white circle with eight-point diffraction spikes, a white dwarf star. Surrounding the star are light purple-pink cavernous bubbles and shell-like rings. The bubbles and shells collectively form an oval with two small, wide arcs near the top, reminiscent of a lion’s face and its ears. What appears to be extended outward from the lion’s face is a thick ring of purple-blue material. The width of the ring is consistent throughout and resembles a mane. The area closest to the lion’s face looks cloudy, while the edges of the mane look like there are clumps of dust with comet-like tails and strands. In the background are distant galaxies and stars. Some galaxies appear as small yellow and orange points of light and others with visible spiral structures. A couple of the stars have diffraction spikes.$

These two images aren't much to look at, but I wanted to point out that Uranus and Neptune really don't look very different. It's been an accident and miscommunication/misinterpretation by the press during VGR2 flybys that Uranus was noticeably green and Neptune was dark blue. flic.kr/p/J8aWsJ

Cassini wide-angle camera RGB view of Titan in Saturn's shadow taken on 2009-11-30. A certain Dave Bowman could have made a comment about the number of stars visible. Full quality image available at flic.kr/p/8HmgV9

Extremely long, 560 second exposures in each of the 3 RGB filters were needed to catch the faint illumination of the moon with light scattered by the rings and Saturn's atmosphere. As a result, the background starfield is prominently visible as well. The stars show up as streaks because Cassini was tracking Titan the whole time.

Distance to Titan: 2.4 million km
Phase angle: 81 deg
