One of the Universe’s prettiest mysteries — Hoag’s Object, a ring galaxy around 600 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens.

Image Credit: NASA/ESA, Processing: Benoit Blanco
• Galaxy Name: Hoag’s Object • Galaxy Type: Ring galaxy • Constellation: Serpens • Distance: ~600 million light-years • Age: ~13 billion years • Stars: Estimated billions • Apparent Magnitude: 16.0 • Radius: ~120,000 light-years • Discovery: 1950 by Arthur Hoag #DidYouKnow: Ring galaxies are relatively rare, constituting about 1 in 10,000 of all observed galaxies. According to NASA, it’s possible that the blue ring of stars may be the shredded remains of a galaxy that passed nearby. Some astronomers estimate that the encounter occurred about 2 to 3 billion years ago. Image Description: A rare ring galaxy featuring a nearly perfect outer ring of young, bright blue stars surrounding a yellowish, densely packed core. The dark void between the core and the ring enhances its distinct appearance. The image captures the galaxy against a backdrop of faint stars and distant galaxies, highlighting its symmetry and uniqueness. Media Credit: NASA/ESA, Processing: Benoit Blanco.

I love that they're playing Queen.

space fireworks to celebrate the new year 🎆
Taking up the central area of the image is the colorful supernova remnant DEM L 190, which is made of intricate tendrils of cosmic material glowing in shades of purple, yellow, orange, and blue. The edges of the image are black and scattered with red and purple-ish stars. Thousands of bright stars shine against black space, more tightly condensed near the image’s center. The stars glint in shades of white, blue, and red, and diffraction spikes are visible around the foreground stars. The giant nebula NGC 3603 is a prominent star-forming region in the Carina spiral arm of our galaxy, about 20,000 light-years away. Within its core is nestled a stellar "jewel box" of thousands of sparkling young stars, one of the most massive young star clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy. The cluster is surrounded by purple clouds of interstellar gas and dust — the raw material for new star formation. This bubble provides an unobstructed view of the cluster and reveals stages in the life cycle of stars. A prominent, eight-pointed star shines in bright white at the center of this image. A clumpy cloud of material surrounds this central star, with more material above and below than on the sides, in some places allowing background stars to peek through. The cloud material is a dark yellow closer to the star, and turns a pinkish purple at its outer edges. Combined together, the central star and its cloud resemble the delicate petals of a cherry blossom. The black background features many smaller white stars scattered throughout.

My marine biologist son Rob has lived on the same island for 7 years, doing painstaking work to improve biodiversity and train local people in conservation. Here’s a new video. Nothing dramatic (he’s not Attenborough and doesn’t have a film crew). Just a healthy coral reef:

This New Year has the “Gentlemen, I bid you farewell” vibe of the string quartet on the Titanic.

Well I’ve vowed to write something SOMEWHERE every day this year… seems a good place to start as this is my first day here and don’t have a clue how it all works 🤷🏻‍♀️
