For your Wednesday, friends, have a deep-field image from #JWST taken late 2023 and early 2024.

The six-sided features are stars in the Milky Way.

Everything else you see?

A galaxy.
A few bright, blueish star-shaped features are dotted throughout the scene. The remaining features are smaller, a little less bright, and of various shapes. The background is darkest black.

#PPOD: Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is brightening fast! Discovered in January by the Mount Lemmon Survey, it swings closest to Earth on October 21 and reaches perihelion on November 8—about 79 million kilometers from the Sun. Credit: Josh Dury Photomedia 🧪 🔭
Photograph of comet in the night sky, with a bright coma and long, blue tile that fades out to the upper right. The sky near the horizon is a soft pink due to a diffuse aurora caused by an ongoing solar storm. A few isolated trees can be seen in stark relief in the distance against the pink clouds on a hilltop.

Dylan Borland, a former U.S. Air Force member and intelligence-community whistleblower, says he was exposed to briefings and photographic evidence of a “Tic Tac”-shaped craft allegedly recovered during an archaeological dig.

New Borland clip in comments.

A newborn world caught in the act. NASA’s new image shows WISPIT 2b, a baby planet forming inside a ring of gas and dust around its star. It’s the first-ever photo of its kind, offering a rare glimpse into planetary birth.

A group of people is running things in the shadows, without any formal legitimacy. Who are these folks? Who knows. But they feel free to appropriate budgets for national security reasons, bypassing traditional chains of command.

Appearing as a flying bird, SU Aur, a star much younger & more massive than the Sun, is surrounded by a giant planet-forming disc. 

The unique shape is likely the outcome of a collision between the star and a huge cloud of gas and dust. 🔭

The Flame Nebula steals the spotlight in this image 🔥, but it’s not the only gem on display!

You can also see the Horsehead Nebula (lower right), and the bright, bluish star to the right, which is one of the trio forming Orion's Belt. 🔭
A nebula glowing in shades of orange and white. To the right, a bright bluish star shines prominently. The entire scene is rich with glowing gas, wispy interstellar dust, and scattered stars of various colours and brightness.

This is what the surface of a comet looks like.

Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, photographed by ESA's Rosetta mission from an altitude of 16 km.

For your Friday, another stunning view of the cosmos from JWST—this time of jets of plasma blasting out from a newly formed star.

It looks like a painting.

A fine example of a reflection nebula. 

The ultraviolet radiation from the stars that illuminate Messier 78 is not intense enough to ionise the gas to make it glow — its dust particles simply reflect the starlight that falls on them. 🔭
A glowing, cloud-like structure with a central blue region surrounded by swirling dark dust lanes and reddish-brown gas. Numerous stars are scattered throughout the scene.

This is a photo of a rock called Cheyava Falls on Mars that *might* host an alien biosignature.

Those small, white spots surrounded by thin, darker halos are termed "leopard spots"—and on Earth are characteristic of chemical reactions caused by microbes.

You know how we'd find out for sure?

New video released by Eric Burlison during the UAP hearing.

An orb is traveling in a straight line, gets hit by a missile fired by a drone (note: determination it was a threat) aaaaanndd...

nothing, the object reacts more like a plasma than a solid object and *continues to fly*.
