Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're on ship and in a shuttlebay! Man I love shuttlebays. We see Picard followed closely by Worf entering from the corridor. It's an action shot though, even though this is a picture you can just tell they're walking with purpose and swift movement into a very important scenario with big future space implications. Closed caption reads, "(loud commotion, chicken clucking)"

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.
A four-panel comic called Instinct is Weird. In panel 1, a yellow warbler looks at a beautiful nest in a shrub and says "I made this for some reason". In panel 2, there are five eggs in the nest and she says "these are my smooth round children". In panel 3 an egg has hatched into a yelling hatchling, and she says "Oh no now it's loud". In panel 4 she looks distressed as five hatchlings now fill the nest, begging for food, and she says "help".

This is a beautiful tribute.
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This wild looking galaxy looks like it's on fire! Massive bursts of star formation at its core is expelling violent winds and blowing gas and dust out of the galaxy. This is M82, aka the Cigar Galaxy. I exposed my camera using my Ceravolo 300mm telescope for a total of 24 hours

genuinely this just became one of my favorite jwst images ever. it looks like a cosmic painting!!!

what a GREAT way to start 2025.
An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.⁣ Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, J. Jencson (Caltech/IPAC)⁣

Oh hey #PortfolioDay

I always forget to join in on this, so hi! I’m Laci, planetary astrophysicist turned space artist.

My art is rooted in my science background—sometimes technical, sometimes whimsical. I love painting planets, moons, nebulae, and cloudscapes. ✨

Pillars of Creation in oils. Mid-infrared and near-infrared wavelengths are woven together in a checkerboard pattern using JWST images as reference. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot in oils (close up). A rectangle in purple shows the spot in ultraviolet light. Another rectangle shows the spot in infrared. Ring Nebula in oils. Painted using near-infrared image from JWST with vibrant colors. There are two hexagons that show the nebula in mid-infrared light. Close up of the cosmic cliffs in oils. The nebula is painted in near-infrared light using a JWST image. There is a checkerboard pattern across the top in lighter colors using Hubble optical data.

First JWST image of 2025.
Wolf-Rayet star WR 140.
🔭 🧪
The image shows a bright white point of light surrounded by 17 regularly spaced, hazy dust shells at the bottom, right, and upper right, which look like tree rings. There is noticeably less color in the upper left. The central point, where the two stars are located, has a roughly hexagonal shape.

This image shows two supernova remnants: SNR G179.0+02.6 (upper left) and the Spaghetti Nebula (lower right). Both are thousands of light-years away, about 40,000–50,000 years old, and similar in size.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're close in on Riker who is sitting and leaning in and talking to what looks like a youth. His eyes are blue as the ocean and he looks serious in a non threatening kind of way. Closed caption reads, "I know, the Ferengi made Daddy turn off the main computer."

The James Webb Telescope has unveiled the Phantom Galaxy (M74) in all its spectral glory. Its delicate spiral arms, usually obscured, now glow with the light of newborn stars. What's your favorite part of this ghostly dance? #PhantomGalaxy #M74

an incredibly rare image of an eclipse on uranus, taken by hubble in 2006
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image is a never-before-seen astronomical alignment of a moon traversing the face of Uranus, and its accompanying shadow. The white dot near the center of Uranus' blue-green disk is the icy moon Ariel. The 700-mile-diameter satellite is casting a shadow onto the cloud tops of Uranus. Image credit: NASA, ESA, L.

lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today.

i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment.

the beauty of the cosmos 🌌
Large orange, yellow, and red clouds of dust and gas tower in the image, interspersed with a few pink stars. A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disk. It has a shining spot at the center from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disk fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars. The Orion Nebula is an expansive and cloudy cosmic landscape. Sweeping clouds that shine in pink, yellow, orange, and other colors are bright against the black backdrop of space. Big stars are forming and glowing within the nebula. Hundreds of stars and galaxies in varying shapes, sizes and colors on a black background. Two of the largest, most prominent stars can be found in the top left quadrant and near the bottom right edge, respectively. They are tinged with blue and have an eight-point diffraction spike pattern. Near the center of this image is the ZS7 system, made up of a merger between two galaxies and their black holes. The ZS7 system is not easily seen by the naked eye in this image, as it looks like very small red dots.

Star Trek IV The Voyage Home scene, though no whales are in these screenshots, sadly. We're on the bridge of Klingon ship. It's dingy and dark and looks like it smells musky. We see Uhura in the background at a com panel and up close is Kirk. He devastated, as if he's just received terrible news he doesn't want to believe like Kanye got voted into the senate or Drake was named Pope. On the next screenshot he's watching a ship viewscreen relaying a message from an official and important looking older earthling fellow. Closed caption reads, "Save your energy. Save yourselves. Avoid the planet Earth at all costs." Alt in pic 1 Alt in pic 1

JUPITER LOOKS SO PRETTY IN UV AND NEAR-IR LIGHT!!!
The wavelength bounds are widened beyond the visible range to extend just into the ultraviolet and infrared regimes: F343N is blue, F467M is green, FQ889N is red. Humans can't perceive these extended wavelengths. The result is a vivid disk that shows UV-absorbing lofty hazes as orange (over the poles and in three large storms, including the Great Red Spot), and freshly-formed ice as white (compact storm plumes just north of the equator). These filters (and others not shown here) allow astronomers to study differences in cloud thickness, altitude, and chemical makeup.
