A humorous image showing two cats on a wooden table. The gray tabby cat in the foreground is labeled “my fave person” and looks calm and composed. Behind it, a black cat with its tongue sticking out is labeled “me trying to be affectionate but being awkward & annoying instead,” creating a relatable and funny contrast.

this is definitely one of the space pics of all time

A filamentary orange veil covers a bright region of star formation. The background is dark, stippled with stars and galaxies ranging from small bright dots to starry shapes. The foreground veil spans from upper left to the bottom right and resembles a seahorse. Bright stars light up the ‘eye’ and ‘chest’ regions of the seahorse with purple light. Within the tail, three bright spots sit in a traffic-light like formation.

Ready to get started on his desk work

A handsome, happy looking tabby cat sitting loaf style on a clean desk. There’s a computer monitor behind him, he’s ready to flop against it and have his belly rubbed for the next couple of hours.

The Pillars of Creation captured by the James Webb Space Telescope

$The Pillars of Creation are set off in a kaleidoscope of color in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared-light view. The pillars look like arches and spires rising out of a desert landscape, but are filled with semi-transparent gas and dust, and ever changing. This is a region where young stars are forming – or have barely burst from their dusty cocoons as they continue to form. Newly formed stars are the scene-stealers in this Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) image. These are the bright red orbs that sometimes appear with eight diffraction spikes. When knots with sufficient mass form within the pillars, they begin to collapse under their own gravity, slowly heat up, and eventually begin shining brightly.$
