🔭 3I/ATLAS: A View from Planet Earth

Image Credit & Copyright: Rolando Ligustri

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25112...
Now outbound after its perihelion or closest approach to the Sun on October 29, Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar object to pass through our fair Solar System. Its greenish coma and faint tails are seen against a background of stars in the constellation Virgo in this view from planet Earth, recorded with a small telescope on November 14. But this interstellar interloper is the subject of an on-going, unprecedented Solar System-wide observing campaign involving spacecraft and space telescopes from Earth orbit to the surface of Mars and beyond. And while the comet from another star-system has recently grown brighter, you'll still need a telescope if you want to see 3I/ATLAS from planet Earth. It's now above the horizon in November morning skies and will make its closest approach to Earth, a comfortable 270 million kilometers distant, around December 19.

Stare into the depths of space with Hubble! At top- and bottom-center are two blue nearby stars. The enormous spiral galaxy UGC 11397 is 250 million light-years away. Many far more distant galaxies show up as orange and red dots. Credit: NASA, ESA. 🔭 🧪
A spiral galaxy seen at an angle. The galaxy’s central disk is golden with a bright core. The galaxy has two spiral arms that curl out from the center. They start narrow but broaden as they wrap around the galaxy before merging into a faint halo. A swirl of dark dust strands and speckled blue star-forming regions follow the arms through the disk. The background of space is black, speckled with tiny stars and distant galaxies.

Aarrhhoooo! Lainey is a playful #BassetHound #puppy who's full of energy but also loves to cuddle. She's housetrained, crate-trained, and gets along well with other dogs. Could she warm your feet, your bed and/or your heart?

🔭 Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka

Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka are the bright bluish stars from east to west (upper right to lower left) along the diagonal in this cosmic vista. Otherwise known as the Belt of Orion, these three blue supergiant stars are hotter and much more massive than the Sun. They lie from 700 to 2,000 light-years away, born of Orion's well-studied interstellar clouds. In fact, clouds of gas and dust adrift in this region have some surprisingly familiar shapes, including the dark Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula near Alnitak at the upper right. The famous Orion Nebula itself is off the right edge of this colorful starfield. The telescopic frame spans almost 4 degrees on the sky.

NEWS: Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to refine the orbit of two Wolf-Rayet stars—named for the Egyptian god of chaos—to a lengthy 190 years and confirmed a third star carves their ongoing carbon dust ejections. 🔭 🧪 (1/6) 🧵
Four dust shells expand away from three central stars that appear as a single pinpoint of light. The innermost shell is smallest, like the size of a thumbprint, and brightest. It is yellow and forms a backward lowercase e. A line at 3 o’clock swoops to the bottom-left in an arc that ends at 8 o’clock. A second line at 9 o’clock dips down to start, but then goes straight up, angling around the top. The second shell, about the size of a fist, is orange and has looser arcs. One appears from 4 to 7 o’clock. A brighter orange triangle appears from 10 to 12 o’clock. Its outer edges overlap, forming a rough circle. The third shell extends almost to the edges and is semi-translucent red, with similar arcs and a darker red line that also forms a faint triangle at top left. The widest shell is faintest and at the edges. A semi-transparent blue appears across the scene. A larger foreground star with spikes is at bottom left, and more distant stars and galaxies are strewn across the black expanse of space.

“The Roberts court has spent Trump’s second term not applying the law so much as clearing it out of his way.”
This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

Three #NASAWebb discoveries in ONE! Webb shows there are FOUR dust shells (only one was previously seen), allowing researchers to narrow the stars’ orbit of one another to a LONG 190 years. Plus, they confirmed a third star is part of the “party”: https://bit.ly/4n1tpas 🔭 🧪

Riding the high of Trump's latest tax cuts, corporations are seeing record profits and will make over $1.1T in stock buybacks this year — an all-time high.

Meanwhile, layoffs have totaled 1.1M so far in 2025 — the highest level since the pandemic.

"New Golden Age" for whom?
