Just look at this JWST image of the planetary nebula NGC 1514! This is the material thrown off by an aging star, and in this case the nebular has been shaped by the star being part of a binary system 🧪🔭 science.nasa.gov/missions/web...
With NASA’s Webb, Dying Star’s Energetic Display Comes Into Full Focus - NASA Science
Gas and dust ejected by a dying star at the heart of NGC 1514 came into complete focus thanks to mid-infrared data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Its

White House proposal would slash NASA science budget and cancel major missions

The White House is proposing steep cuts in NASA’s science program that, if implemented, would cancel several major missions, contradicting claims by the administration’s nominee to lead the agency.

Trump voters feeling bitter
‘Cause the market’s in the shitter.

See? I’m a poet and don’t know it.
Although my feet show it.
They’re *longfellows.*
Just trying to keep folks amused while their 401Ks go down the drain.
Trump is like honeybadger: He don’t give a shit.

NASA Predicts Asteroid 2024 YR4 Might Hit The Moon. | Science 2.0 www.science20.com/hontas_farme... via @science2_0

IF this happens it would be a great experience for the portion of man kind able to view it. Roughly half the world would have a chance to see it. 🔭
NASA Predicts Asteroid 2024 YR4 Might Hit The Moon.
According to observations made by NASA using the James Webb Space Telescope, there is a three point eight percent chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit the Moon on December 22nd 2032.  This means the...

NEW: The Crab Nebula—the result of a supernova in 1054—originally appeared as a bright, new star that was visible even in the daytime. Learn more about this storied supernova remnant on a poster of this observation from #NASAWebb: webbtelescope.pub/41VJ6rf 🔭 🧪
A vertical poster with an image of the Crab Nebula against a black background. On the oval-shaped nebula’s exterior lie curtains of glowing red and orange fluffy material. Translucent thin ribbons of smoky white lie within the remnant’s interior, brightest toward its center, and become more diffuse further outward. A faint, wispy ring of white material encircles the very center of the nebula. There are many blue, red, and yellow points throughout the image. Along the bottom is a series of thin vertical bars ranging from purple at left to blue, green, yellow, orange, and red at right. Bars are separated slightly, with black in between. Bar colors are brightest at the bottom, fading up to black. Brightness varies from bar to bar, giving the array an undulating feel. At upper right is text that reads, “National Aeronautics and Space Administration” and NASA’s blue, white, and red meatball insignia. Title text appears at lower left that says, “James Webb Space Telescope: Crab Nebula.”

This is REALLY the lame-ass defense they are going with? They were “attack plans” not “war plans”?

The art for my book cover is by Kokowray! I don't remember the cost, but I believe it was somewhere between $50-150. I found him on Instagram and I love how it turned out. 🖋️📖💰

I'm currently still writing Book 2 of Helm's Curse, which would be much easier if I didn't have a job I have to go to almost every day, but alas, it's getting done eventually. The first book was published in 2022 and you can find it at octobergrae.com 🖋️📖💰

too much shit has been happening lately so here’s a small cleanse.

it won’t fix anything in the world, but hopefully it makes you smile today 🌌
Most of the image's left side glows with blue gas, with a ridge of reddish gas at center. A yellow shockwave extends out to the right, shining against black space. The hazy white core of a spiral galaxy shines at image center, surrounded by spiral arms full of dark brown dust and stars. Webb's image of a section of the Flame Nebula, which contains a mixture of reds, blues and browns, and shows red, blue, and white stars. At the center is a thin vertical cloud known as Lynds 483 that is shaped like an hourglass with irregular edges. At lower center are two discrete bright white, tiny blobs of light that have raced away from the hidden central stars. The top lobe shows a more prominent orange U-shape. Orange bleeds into light purple, and brighter pink at its edges. Some background stars are visible through sections of this lobe. Higher up, there is an orange arc. Some brighter pink material extends to the top edges near the center. In the lower lobe, less orange is visible. More opaque light purple is in its top third, rippling out into semi-transparent blues and pinks. The lower lobe has more texture. V-shapes left and right of the lobes are darkest, and the background stars in these areas appear orange. Elsewhere, the black background of space is clearer, speckled with tiny white stars and faint orange galaxies.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

Republicans should remember that on today’s anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

Been a while due to poor weather, but a couple of nights of clear skies mean more images :) here is my image of M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy. This is 4 hours Lum and 1.5 hours each of R,G and B. Imaged with my 190MN scope and ZWO 2600MM camera. #astrophotography #space #galaxy🔭
A large spiral galaxy surrounded by thousands of stars. There are faint dust lanes visible in the galaxy.

Saturn's rings are exactly aligned with Earth today, making them "vanish" because they are so thin.

Unfortunately the planet is currently hidden in the glare of the Sun, but Alan Friedman compiled a great image sequence of a similar vanishing in 2009. 🧪🔭
