A bright star with four diffraction spikes is at the center of the frame. It is surrounded by a small, translucent, roughly spherical cloud of green gas. Within the green cloud are overlapping spherical areas where there is less gas, and the black background of space is visible. The rest of the frame is dotted with stars.

A bright star with four diffraction spikes is at the center of the frame. It is surrounded by a small, translucent, roughly spherical cloud of green gas. Within the green cloud are overlapping spherical areas where there is less gas, and the black background of space is visible. The rest of the frame is dotted with stars.

What looks like a single large, bright star but is two shines with bright purple diffraction spikes at the center of a large, diffuse cylinder of gas and dust that is tipped to the right. At the center is a bright pink clumpy cloud that takes up about 25% of the view. The pink region has some holes. Beyond that are two large rings tipped at a 60-degree angle that mark the ends of the cylinder. They appear joined at top left and bottom right. The edges form shallow V-shapes that go inward. The rings appear orange at top left and bottom right, and are blue at bottom and center right. There is diffuse orange material around the body. The black background of space is speckled with tiny stars and galaxies mostly in blues and yellows. A bigger blue star with spikes is just below and to the left of the central stars, but it is slightly smaller. Areas Webb did not observe appear black along the top edges, a thin vertical near the nebula at top left, and at the bottom left and right corners.

Same nebula, different wavelengths.

NGC 1514, the Crystal Ball Nebula, in visible light from Kitt Peak, and in mid-infrared light from JWST.

The glowing dust rings seen in the infrared are absent in the visible light view. 🔭🧪

Mapping genetic diversity with the GenomeIndia project - Nature Genetics The rich ethnolinguistic and sociocultural differences that exist in India offers a unique opportunity to study human diversity. With the whole genomes of 10,000 healthy and unrelated Indians from 83 ...

Vital to profile India's genetic diversity - as the authors said - "The demographic history of India is also unique, with exposure to different environments and widespread admixture, followed by formation of numerous endogamous groups". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Be suspicious of anyone who fixates on IQ as a measure of intelligence. Real intelligence isn’t a number, it’s a burning curiosity, a delight in the world, a voracious hunger “to follow knowledge like a sinking star / beyond the utmost bound of human thought.”

Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine as an 'adaptogen' that boosts stress resilience, but the cellular mechanisms and key beneficial bioactives that drive putative neuroprotective effects remain unclear..

Just a gentle reminder that deceptive hyping in scientific publications (which includes preprints) is actually antithetical to the core mission of the scientific process. We can stay grounded, truthful, humble while being ambitious. Revealing caveats, pitfalls & limitations speeds up progress.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

The question is why they take it personally I think. Unless a person is attacked specifically they should understand its a social menace and you are trying to address that.

It was thrilling to screen the docu-fiction film Vision of the Blind Lady at the India Science Festival 2025 at Fergusson College Pune. Even though our subtitles file wouldn't load, the sentiment of this Bilingual film reached the audience. That's the power of cinema.

I started an India Science Sky starter pack for Science folks from/in India. Still very small and nowhere near comprehensive.
Please suggest other folks I may have missed.
