Not old, TALENTED - and congratulations!!

Honestly, I have no idea... I'm an amateur astronomer, so the science behind this is beyond me LOL

Somebody needs to invent a portable fridge. You know, one you can actually walk around in. Think of it - you'd stay cool, plus you'll have access to all the cold drinks and sandwich making materials you need. *butter knife not included

First rule of a dictatorship - eliminate the opposition

NEW: FBI LA statement to @FoxNews re: Senator Padilla "During a press conference today held at the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, Senator Alex Padilla was detained by members of the U.S. Secret Service assigned to Secretary Noem’s detail when he became disruptive while formal remarks were being delivered. Secret Service Agents were assisted by FBI Police who are in Los Angeles at this time. Senator Padilla did not identify himself and was not wearing his senate security pin. Senator Padilla was subsequently positively identified and released."

A DHS official told me Noem & security had no idea who Senator Padilla was. Now, the FBI is running with the statement that the senator "did not identify himself and was not wearing his senate security pin" — but he very much did identify himself, loudly, on video...

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla.

You read that right.

The American Fascist Party at work.

Graphic labeled, Simulations of Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies in a Roman Space Telescope Image, shows a simulated Roman Space Telescope image within the detectors of its Wide Field Instrument at center as a 3-by-6 array of squares. Within each square are a range of white pinpoints against a black background, some slightly larger than others, but all tiny. There are four pullouts from the main image, shown as four boxes, two in a column at left and two at right. Each pullout shows a magnified view of the tiny dot it points to. All four pullouts show simulated gravitational lenses, which look like a thick white dot at center surrounded by fuzzy, slightly incomplete circles that are semi-transparent.

#NASARoman will soon make particular types of gravitational lenses far more common, pinpointing over 160,000 of them. (To date, we only know of hundreds.) A team plans to study these objects to refine our studies of dark matter: bit.ly/3SyNJDy 🔭 🧪 ☄️

I was going to say "it's crazy that people believed this was real" and yet, here we are...

The image features the Raspberry Nebula (LBN 867), located in the constellation of Orion. Imagine a vast cosmic cloud stretching into space, with a complex structure that resembles an onion due to its multiple layers. At its center shines a bright star, HD 34989, which emits an intense light, similar in brightness to the planet Uranus as seen from Earth, creating a bright focal point in the heart of the nebula. The nebula itself has a vivid red glow, like a scarlet bloom, due to the ionization of hydrogen gas glowing under the influence of the central star. Around HD 34989, a thin halo of blue-white light can be seen, a delicate reflection of starlight on interstellar dust, forming the reflection nebula vdB 38. This bluish halo contrasts with the dominant red, adding a cooler, more nuanced touch of color. The overall image is a mix of bright red hues and hints of pale blue, with the central star standing out like a bright beacon in a sea of ​​cosmic clouds.

🧵
Here is a cosmic delight: LBN 867, dubbed the Raspberry Nebula although its overall structure is more like an onion!

In fact, this fascinating H II region, located in the constellation Orion, contains three different objects within its structure!
