#PPOD: When the Sun, Moon, and Earth align just right, moonlight meets the mist at the base of a great waterfall. The result is a moonbow: a rainbow born not of daylight, but of reflected lunar light. Credit: @joshduryphotomedia.bsky.social 🧪 🔭 📷

Check out this new #JWST image.

It's another stunning view of the deep universe, but in the box at right is a small, red blob.

That's a galaxy in which a supernova was detected in March.

That galaxy is thirteen BILLION lightyears away. It's the oldest supernova found so far.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

Let's dive into the dusty central region of the Milky Way!

There, a swarm of stars orbits an invisible, supermassive #BlackHole. As we get closer to it, we see these stars, as observed by the VLT (in 2019) and VLTI (mid-2021).

#PPOD: The object captured here by the Hubble Space Telescope is a reflection nebula, identified as GN 04.32.8. Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust in space that don't emit their own light, as other nebulae do. 🧪 🔭

Io beauty shot.

Taken by the Juno spacecraft on 3 February 2024.

The right-hand hemisphere is illuminated by the Sun.

On the left, the night side isn't totally dark because of Jupitershine.

Join us on a trip to the region between the Scorpius and Ophiuchus constellations, home to tens of rogue planets.

Rogue planets do not orbit a star but roam freely. Since they are not illuminated by nearby stars, they are hard to discover.
