INCREDIBLE and spectacular Hubble image of a galaxy that got whacked by another galaxy
The collision caused easily visible multiple rings of stars to ripple outward

I've been getting involved with #HongKong dolphin watch. They're an #ecotourism group taking tours out to see the HK pink dolphins in their natural environment, educating the tour groups about the threats they face and advocating for their protection. These are photos from 07.02.2025.

This seems like a good time to re-up this take down of another recent attempt to tech-dredge words like “diversity” for political purposes. This kind of text-mining is very hard and they are very bad at it (sledgehammer, etc). academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

⚡️BREAKING⚡️A monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for us all! Court agreed that significant emissions caused by burning Rosebank’s oil should’ve been taken into account. It would’ve done nothing for energy bills or jobs but would drive further extreme weather. Congrats #StopRosebank
