Henry Jones III 🚇 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @cylindricalsea.bsky.social · Mar 4

As a "Chicagoan" and an "Illinoisan", I stand with Canada and adore my nearby more North and more Free neighbor. I hope Canada will beat-the-sh1t out of the US trade-wise.

Here's the Canadian flag at Chicago's O'hare Airport:

NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2001-11-25: M16: Stars from Eagle's EGGs
#Astronomy #NASA #Space

Newborn stars are forming in the Eagle Nebula. This image, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, shows evaporating gaseous globules (EGGs) emerging from pillars of molecular hydrogen gas and dust. The giant pillars are light years in length and are so dense that interior gas contracts gravitationally to form stars. At each pillars' end, the intense radiation of bright young stars causes low density material to boil away, leaving stellar nurseries of dense EGGs exposed. The Eagle Nebula, associated with the open star cluster M16, lies about 7000 light years away.

A tall mossy tree grows towards the glowing blue sky. Sunlight beams through the canopy, illuminating the foliage in dappled light. The forest is serene, a tranquil escape from the clamor of society.
