Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

It's no understatement to say the Elon Musk is the most dangerous man alive. He's an existential threat to everyone on this planet if he's not stopped.

This is Sharpless 190, best known as the Heart Nebula, and including the IC 1805 or Melotte 15 cluster center, and IC 1795 region known as the Fish Head nebula, lower right. It lies 2.3 Kpc away in the Perseus arm of our galaxy, appearing in the constellation of Cassiopeia.

The Milky Way from Glenridding, in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England.

Taken from the garden of the holiday let we were staying in, this is a 30-image stack using Sequator.

Each raw photo is 20sec, f3.5, ISO3200, with a Canon 6D Mark II, 14mm Samyang lens.

Once a normal spiral galaxy it collided perfectly (bulls eye) with another galaxy who's shock wave created this unique structure.

A stunning image of NGC 4298, a spiral galaxy captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam instrument. The galaxy's bright core is surrounded by a prominent spiral structure with reddish dust lanes, indicating active star formation. The image showcases the galaxy's intricate details against a backdrop of countless stars.

Since y’all enjoyed my first successful milky way shot. I hope you enjoy my the best milky way photo from my trip to Allagash Lake, Maine 6/9/2024.

If you’ve never been on the Allagash, go! It’s heaven on earth!

Recommending privatisation for the NHS crisis is like recommending alcohol for a hangover.

Sure, it will offer a slight temporary reprieve - but it has serious long term implications.

i can’t fix anything that’s going on right now, but i can show you some beauty that’s out there… 🌌✨
Many stars crowd the image, shining in shades of white, blue, and orange, and more closely concentrated at the center. Bright blue stars are in a cluster at the center of the image. They are surrounded by a shell of brownish and burnt orange dust and gas. The shell has ridges that reach towards the stars like teeth. Stars within the dust and gas are hidden from Hubble but visible to Webb in the infrared. A number of more distant galaxies also appear in the background. Ferocious stellar winds, likely from the bright blue star at the top of the image, are blowing through a curtain of dust. The fine dust scatters the starlight at blue wavelengths. Farther down, another bright, super-hot star shines through filaments of obscuring dust, looking like the Sun shining through scattered clouds. A diagonal string of fainter accompanying stars looks reddish because dust is filtering starlight, allowing more of the red light to get through. The bottom of the picture presents a keyhole peek deep into the dark nebula. Hubble captures the reddish glow of ionized hydrogen. It looks like a fireworks finale, with several overlapping events. Fluffy tan-colored nebula clouds, with rust-colored highlights, surround a black central area. Within that area, the focal point of the image is one large yellow star with eight long thin points. To the right of this star is a bright star cluster in an oval shape. The stars within the cluster look like tiny pale blue sparkles. The cluster is more densely packed at its core and scatters outward. Towards the bottom of the image, multiple arms appear to spiral out of a cloudy tan knob. Taken together, the structures resemble a spider or a squid. Other blue and yellow eight-pointed stars, as well as distant galaxies, are dotted throughout the image.

The UK loses £35bn a year in tax that should be paid but isn't.

And 98% of it comes from the richest 1%.

Not people on benefits.

Getting rid of FEMA would absolutely devastate red states with climate change getting worse. It won't be the liberal enclaves being economically destroyed.
The image shows a map of the United States with a focus on projected climate damages as a percentage of GDP from 2040 to 2060. The map is color-coded, with darker shades of orange and red representing higher economic damages, particularly in the Gulf Coast and Southeastern U.S. Key points are marked: A indicates Houston, Texas, where significant damage is expected due to storms, sea-level rise, and heat-related deaths. B represents Miami, Florida, another major city expected to face high economic losses driven by similar factors. C highlights Gulf County, Florida, a rural area that could lose up to half its economy due to climate impacts. The accompanying text describes how wealthier urban areas like Houston and Miami will see losses in billions of dollars, while rural areas might experience proportionally greater economic devastation.

Trump is planning to make foreign nationals (and dual citizens) to pay higher tax rates in the US. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
For example, Trump this week threatened to double taxes on foreigners working in this country legally. The move received virtually no attention because it was slipped into a broader executive order on trade. Unless you’re intimately familiar with the tax code, you might not have noticed his invocation of an obscure 1934 law that has never been used before, which says the president can double taxes on all citizens and companies from any country that the president decides has levied “discriminatory” taxes against Americans. The president can do this unilaterally — that is, without additional permission from Congress.
