Saturn’s moon Enceladus may harbor life:
🌡️ Its subsurface ocean has a pH between 10.1 and 11.6 — alkaline, but still within the limits for microbial life.
(Earth’s oceans: ~pH 8)

☄️ New Interstellar Object Discovered!
Astronomers have spotted a new fast-moving object: A11pl3Z now named 3I/ATLAS
it is likely coming from outside our solar system – making it only the third known interstellar visitor after ‘Oumuamua and Borisov.
Estimated to be 20 km wide

🌌Incredible !
Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece!
Using our VLT, they observed the Sculptor Galaxy in thousands of colours simultaneously 🌈
The more shades of colour there are in an image of a galaxy, the more we can learn about its inner workings.
