It's so disappointing when people post AI generated images as real, credit them to NASA, then turn off commenting (and quote posting) and hide all comments that point out the image is AI generated.

My email to hr@opm.gov...
![A humorous, fictional letter titled "Weekly Muskrat Extermination Report – The Battle of the Burrowing Bandits." The letter is addressed to "[Supervisor/Fellow Exterminators/Unfortunate Witnesses]" and written in a dramatic, comedic tone, describing the sender’s struggles against a group of muskrats, particularly one named Gerald. The sender lists five key "accomplishments" from the past week, including inventing a muskrat decoy that was worshipped as a deity, outrunning a strong muskrat, attempting a failed peace summit, rescuing a coworker from a muskrat tunnel, and discovering that muskrats enjoy polka music. The letter concludes with a tongue-in-cheek farewell in case the sender does not return, requesting that their bravery be acknowledged. The sender signs off as a "Professional Muskrat Nemesis."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yj3l6eqimho5zmwwvjcuutcp/bafkreif5lfaa4vfvnlhf77bnpouxggqa2kspb7rnbow5pcl7zmp2vdnj3e@jpeg)

Though things are gonna go to shit here this year... current government will most likely lose the election, which means we get Voldemort as PM. To give you an idea what this guy is like… Trump loves our horrific asylum seeker policy, which he designed.

Yep, they knew exactly what they were getting, and they chose it again. Fuck the lot of them. And not in a good way!
As for me... sorry, I've been lazing at the beach for a couple of weeks. 🙂
And... thank-you for this... though I need to do better! 🙂

My understanding is it will continue to expand and eventually disperse, never becoming a stellar nursery. The "Pillars of Creation" (in the Eagle Nebula) - my pinned post - is one famous region of star formation, as is another of my favourites... the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud…

Yeah, it's pretty stunning.
The supernova that resulted in the Crab Nebula was observed in 1054, so 970 years ago... just a blink of an eye in cosmic terms!
Here's a Hubble shot of it...

Thankfully only really works in the NIRCam version... not the MIRI or combined NIRCam/MIRI images (largely because of the color mapping chosen, I suppose 🙂).

This is the photo (I actually posted it on one of your threads in early December 🙂).
Note that I'm uploading the original photo, which includes full location data (which is my home address).
Try downloading it, then opening it in an EXIF viewer (like jimpl.com, for example).

Is there some irony in the fact that one of the biggest proponents of humanity getting off the planet is also one of the biggest contributors to the Kessler Effect? 🤔
