HAPPY VALENTINES DAY HERES A NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE TARANTULA NEBULA!!! 🌌
A portion of the Tarantula Nebula, made of variously colored layers of dust clouds. One upper layer is dark reddish dust which is dense and obscures light, in places so dense that it appears black. A middle layer holds pale clouds that are thick like curling wisps of smoke. They form a broad bow across the center of the image. Many small, bright stars lie throughout the nebula. They appear as blue, purple, or red depending on depth.

It's time for #SciFri 📻

We kick off with @sophiebushwick.bsky.social, who joins us to talk about the discovery of a neutrino with a record-breaking level of energy and other top science news of the week.
Most Powerful Neutrino Ever Is Detected In the Mediterranean
A neutrino with a record-breaking level of energy was picked up by a detector in the Mediterranean Sea.

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.

Discovered 1941 by Fritz Zwicky
Distance 500 light years
Once a normal spiral galaxy it collided perfectly (bulls eye) with another galaxy who's shock wave created this unique structure.

Here is an angel of summer coming to give you hope in this freezing month! 🌼 Photo from my collection, ca. 1970s.
Color photo of a white cat with dark tail approaching the viewer through a field of yellow wildflowers. It looks very sweet coming with its face up and tail up in a friendly salute!

Here are some nice mushrooms
A family of splitgill mushrooms grow aligned on the edge of an upturned branch in a bare winter forest. They look like seashells on wet stone All photos by me

One of my dive buddies said that this flirtatious young sea lion looked just like Betty Boop. I photographed her in 2001 off Sutil Island, next to Santa Barbara Island in the California Channel Islands, with Kodak E100VS film in a Nikon F5. #underwaterphoto 🦑 #filmphotography #sealion

Enfin une belle soirée, bien fraiche, aux commandes au T820 sous la coupole, à voguer en visuel de planète en planète, de nébuleuse planétaire vers des regions HII en passant par de l'amas globulaire et du rémanent de supernova 🥰🥰

Le tout avec un contraste de fou sur jupi et mars 😍

This infrared image from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.
