Researchers combed through images from ESA's #MarsExpress & #ExoMars spacecraft to find 1039 swirling dust devils 🌪️

Using these dust devils to track raging winds on Mars, their findings include that the strongest winds blow much faster than we thought!

What's out there in the universe? We don't know until we look.

The COWLS project scanned 42,000 galaxies and found hundreds of previously unknown gravitational lenses -- places where the pull of massive galaxies has warped space & bent starlight into arcs and rings. 🧪🔭

esawebb.org/images/potm2...
This ESA/Webb Picture of the Month shows eight stunning examples of gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing, which was first predicted by Einstein, occurs because massive objects like galaxies and clusters of galaxies dramatically warp the fabric of spacetime. When a massive foreground object lines up just so with a background galaxy, the light from the background galaxy bends as it navigates the warped spacetime on its way to our telescopes. Depending on how perfect the alignment is, the light from the background galaxy can be bent into an arc, a circle (a phenomenon called an ‘Einstein ring’) or even split into multiple images.

Just starting to download and process pics from the camera.

Apologies for not putting descriptions on them but it's late, I'm sweating, and my brain isn't working.

Webb Telescope unveils doomed ⭐ hidden in dust

Northwestern University-led team of astronomers has captured most detailed glimpse yet of a doomed ⭐ before it exploded.

Study marks first time JWST identified a supernova’s source star and first time supernova was imaged in mid-infrared wavelengths
The main image at left shows a combined Webb and Hubble view of spiral galaxy NGC 1637, with the region of interest in the top right. The remaining three panels show a detailed view of a red supergiant star before and after it exploded. The star is not visible in the Hubble image before the explosion, but appears in the Webb image. The July 2025 view from Hubble shows the glowing aftermath of the explosion. Credit NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Charles Kilpatrick (Northwestern), Aswin Suresh (Northwestern)
