🆕 This new NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope image shows a rare cosmic phenomenon called an 'Einstein ring' 🧪🔭

www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed... @science.esa.int @spacetelescope.bsky.social
In the centre is an elliptical galaxy, seen as an oval-shaped glow around a small bright core. Around this is wrapped a broad band of light, appearing like a spiral galaxy stretched and warped into a ring, with bright blue lines drawn through it where the spiral arms have been stretched into circles. A few distant objects are visible around the ring on a black background.

The Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, is an emission nebula located 8 000 light-years away. This stunning new image was observed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to celebrate its 26th year in space.

Shape of Ukraine's territory in yellow, representing pre-war times, on a dark blue background. Above it, the text 'Courage has a name' is written. Inside the shape, 'Ukraine' is written in dark blue. The EU logo is in the bottom right corner, and #StandWithUkraine is in the bottom left corner.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

M16 - Pillars of Creation

One of my best images, showcasing the intricate dust and gas formations where new stars are being born. Taken from Costa Rica.
#Astro #Astrophotography #M16 #Nebula
A detailed image of the Pillars of Creation, towering columns of gas and dust in hues of gold and red, set against a vibrant star-filled background of blues and blacks. Bright stars and glowing regions highlight areas of active star formation within the iconic structure.

A forming star in molecular cloud L1527 is the dot at the center. Why do near-and mid-infrared observations from #NASAWebb show such different views of its ejections? Find this answer, and more detail about Webb’s recent discoveries: webbtelescope.pub/3Yp62P5 🔭 🧪
Two views of the same object, a forming protostar surrounded by a large hourglass-shaped nebula known as L1527. Webb’s near-infrared image is at left, and its mid-infrared image is at right. The hourglass is slightly larger in near-infrared. Here, a bright orange protostar lies at the center, where the two triangles meet. In front of the protostar is a thin grey line, its accretion disk. Above the protostar is an orange, triangular cloud of gas that points to the top left. Below the protostar is another triangular cloud of gas that points to the bottom right. The area closest to the protostar is a blend of pronounced blue and orange plumes of gas. At right, the mid-infrared image shows a bright red central region, where the protostar resides, with a thin, gray lane cutting through it horizontally, the protostar’s accretion disk. Above and below this region are white and blue triangular-shaped cavities in the molecular cloud, which give the overall object an hourglass shape.
