📸 Compartimos las primeras imágenes del cometa 2025 A6 Lemmon tomadas por nuestro colaborador Enol Matilla, ingeniero del IAC, desde el Observatorio del Teide la madrugada del domingo.

¡Mantente atento, pronto tendremos más novedades sobre este visitante cósmico que ya podemos seguir en el cielo! ☄️

Slow your scroll! Watch an animation showing how winds and light from massive stars form pillars. The pillars’ tips are the densest.

Where have you seen pillars? Show us #NASAWebb and Hubble images in the comments!

Supermassive black hole caught playing with its food!

A ravenous & messy eater in galaxy NGC 4945 is blowing out powerful winds of material that will end up escaping the galaxy altogether.

NEW: #NASAWebb reveals a distant spiral galaxy perfectly aligned near the tip of Herbig-Haro 49/50—an outflow generated by a nearby still-forming star. This near- and mid-infrared image uncovers intricate details about how stars form: webbtelescope.pub/4iGQg9K 🔭 🧪

Trabajo en visión y para explicar cómo vemos suelo empezar diciendo que los colores no existen, que son fruto de cómo nuestro cerebro interpreta las distintas longitudes de onda de la luz que llegan a nuestra #retina. Creo que va siendo hora de que haga por aquí un hilo sobre este tema. Hilo va!🧵

If you want to spend some quality time with #Euclid data, you can use "ESA Sky", which allows everyone to browse public data, pan, zoom, and look around. All in full colour galore, and full resolution.

Really cool! Try ESA Sky 🔭
The new EULICD data release is AMAZING! 🔭

Here's a before / after of a random galaxy I found in one of the new images, comparing against the Digitized Sky Survey.

I highly recommend taking a look around on ESA Sky - it's fun! Link: sky.esa.int/esasky/?targ...
