The #PaleBlueDot captures the fragility and beauty of our planet. Taken from billions of miles away, it shows #Earth as a tiny speck of light, suspended in the vast expanse of space. It is a humbling reminder of our place in the universe, and a call to cherish and protect our home.

Witness the Vela supernova remnant, a beautiful yet violent aftermath of a massive star's death that occurred around 11,000 years ago.

You're lucky. When my brain and fingers disconnect, I end up sending a message that is 100% grammatically correct, but 100% passive voice. It's the ultimate linguistic betrayal.

WTF, my brain was thinking "Thanks" but my fingers were typing "Danke" ... Never happened to me before ...

I mean, I got confused between languages and code-switched mid-sentence and stuff, but this was 100% disconnect between the language I thought in and what my fingers were doing language-wise.

A #CosmicVision mission, #ESALISA will be first gravitational wave detector in space.

LISA will study these ripples in the fabric of space-time emitted during the most powerful events in the Universe, such as pairs of black holes coming together and merging.

This is one of my favourite space photos.

It's Pluto, backlit by the Sun, imaged by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.

Look carefully and you can see the planet's irregular topography and the layering in its atmosphere.

#ArtemisII update: NASA Artemis reports the rocket is stacked. ✅

The Orion spacecraft with its launch abort system and European Service Module is stacked atop the Space Launch System rocket. Launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon is targeted for early next year.

Infrared images reveal that Saturn's auroras shift with the Sun's angle and the planet's rotation, influenced by its moons.

Hubble Admires a Youthful Globular Star Cluster - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/NB3imC
Hubble sees an unusal global cluster that is enriching the interstellar medium with metals Globular clusters offer some of the most spectacular sights in the night sky. These ornate spheres contain hundreds of thousands of stars, and reside in the outskirts of galaxies. The Milky Way contains over 150 such clusters — and the one shown in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, named NGC 362, is one of the more unusual ones. As stars make their way through life they fuse elements together in their cores, creating heavier and heavier elements — known in astronomy as metals — in the process. When these stars die, they flood their surroundings with the material they have formed during their lifetimes, enriching the interstellar medium with metals. Stars that form later therefore contain higher proportions of metals than their older relatives. By studying the different elements present within individual stars in NGC 362, astronomers discovered that the cluster boasts a surprisingly high metal content, indicating that it is younger than expected. Although most globular clusters are much older than the majority of stars in their host galaxy, NGC 362 bucks the trend, with an age lying between 10 and 11 billion years old. For reference, the age of the Milky Way is estimated to be above 13 billion years. This image, in which you can view NGC 362’s individual stars, was taken by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). Credit: ESA/Hubble& NASA NASA image use policy. ...

What happens when #quantummechanics meets #gametheory? By applying the mathematics of game theory to quantum information, a team of researchers have showed that heat dissipation can be reduced in a quantum system versus a classical one. Explore the possibilities: https://ow.ly/Ulk450XrNBU #quantum

How large are Saturn's rings? Saturn's rings are about 175,000 miles (282,000 km) across, but only about 3,200 feet (~1 km) thick. If you had a model of Saturn that was a meter stick wide (3 feet), its rings would be about 10,000 times thinner than a razor blade! Saturn and its rings would just fit in the distance between Earth and the Moon.
