NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF A PAIR OF INTERACTING GALAXIES LOCATED 390 MILLION LIGHT-YEARS AWAY!!!
In the center is a large, oval-shaped galaxy, with a shining, ringed core. Left of its center is a second, smaller galaxy with two spiral arms. The galaxy pair is so close that they appear to be merging: a tail of material with a few glowing spots connects from one of the smaller galaxy’s spiral arms to the larger galaxy. A faint halo surrounds both galaxies. Several stars are visible around the pair.

a major problem with bluesky is that i can offhandedly remark "i hate drawing, its too hard" and then a sweet old lady will gently encourage me and kindly point me to some useful resources to get started drawing and i dont know what to do with myself

Jupiter is at its brightest (opposition) on 7 December. Will be well placed for observing all night. Weather permitting. 🔭 🧪

NASA / SwRI / MSSS / Gerald Eichstädt / Seán Doran From the NASA description: The Juno spacecraft captured this image when the spacecraft was only 11,747 miles (18,906 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds—roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia. The color-enhanced image, which captures a cloud system in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere, was taken on October 24, 2017. NASA / SwRI / MSSS / Gerald Eichstädt / Seán Doran
