Milky Way and Andromeda enjoy a dance of death. They're moving towards each other and will begin to merge in a few billion years.

Crikey!
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is moving towards the Andromeda galaxy. Astronomers predict that in about 4 billion years, the two galaxies will collide and begin to merge. The Solar System's fate is uncertain. It might end up in the final, larger galaxy, orbiting further from the core than it does now, or it might be ejected into space altogether.

Moonlanding bootprint pendant necklace in sterling silver 🚀🌕

Inspired by Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin's bootprint in the lunar soil at Tranquillity Base during #Apollo11

Moonlanding bootprint inspired pendant necklace Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin left this bootprint in the lunar soil at Tranquillity Base, July 20, 1969. The impression, about 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) deep, demonstrates the fineness and cohesiveness of the lunar soil.

Now that we have a silver moon boot we can make impressions in wax! Then cast it in silver using a technique called lost-wax casting.

The last photo shows the finished pendant (sold) 🤩

These new images of Mars are UNREAL 😱

This crop of Phobos is my favorite part! Make sure to check out Andrea's thread!

A close-up orbital view of Mars highlighting Pavonis Mons, one of the Tharsis Montes volcanoes. A massive yellowish dust cloud drifts across the left side of the frame, contrasting with the planet’s rusty red, hazy terrain. Pavonis Mons appears as a broad, flattened volcano with a vast central caldera. Phobos is also visible nearby, passing through orbit.

Not sure if anyone noticed already, but the one in the first photo near Pavonis Mons looks like a massive dust storm.

Ariane VA266 lift off This composite NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the debris ring and dust clouds cs1 and cs2 around the star Fomalhaut. A collage of 32 glowing discs on a black background. Each disc shows concentric rings in vivid colours: purple, orange, and yellow, with bright cyan centres. The discs vary in size and orientation, creating a striking pattern of circular and elliptical shapes. A spiral galaxy seen nearly edge-on. Its disk is filled with red and blue lights from star-forming nebulae and clusters of hot stars, respectively, as well as thick dark clouds of dust that block the strong white light from its centre. A faint, glowing halo of gas surrounds the disc, fading into the black background. A bluish plume of gas also extends from the galaxy’s core to the lower-right of the image.

Well as long as I'm posting tiny little Waymakers birds of past years for #ArtAdventCalendar, they just don't get any smaller than this Bee Hummingbird!

🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt
Digital illustration of a male Bee Hummingbird. This tiny bird is perched on a thin twig. He has a white belly and blue-tinted back, but his most dramatic feature is his iridescent red and orange and yellow head, with long shiny feathers streaming down from the corners of his throat. He also has a fairly long, pointy black beak.
