Black and white image shows a prominent and long gully extending from the rim of an impact crater far down the crater wall. The scene is less than 5 km, or 3 miles, across. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona)

Enhanced color cutout shows a section of the gully in better detail. The gully is very deep in some parts. The scene is less than 1 km, under 1 mile, across. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona)

Gully Monitoring

The science goal of this observation is to reimage a prominent gully to look for indications of activity, including possible fresh deposits.

Ah, lol. My bad. I did a TinEye search, a 2009 Lenovo dual screen laptop article seems to be the earliest use of it that's indexed. iPods released in 2001, Nightmare Before Christmas Special Edition DVD in 2000, and the PowerMac G3 in 1997, so the photo is probably early 2000s.

100% staged shot... but it still could be an office somewhere.

I have the sudden urge to spend way too much money to aquire an #i386.

Dear #Windows11,

Just give me all the options in one dropdown. The "more options" option is not cute nor helpful. Stop getting in the way of using the PC.

Sorry, have been dealing with finals and playing #IndianaJones.

Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker top half of the image, while a glowing pale-yellow, cave-like structure is bottom centre, tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its centre. The dust of the cave structure becomes wispy toward eight o’clock. Above the arched top of the dust cave three groupings of stars with diffraction spikes are arranged. A dark cloud sits at the top of the arch of the glowing dust cave, with one streamer curling down the right-hand side. The dark shadow of the cloud appears pinched in the centre, with light emerging in a triangle shape above and below the pinch, revealing the presence of a star inside the dark cloud. The image’s largest jets of red material emanate from within this dark cloud, thick and displaying structure like the rough face of a cliff, glowing brighter at the edges. At the top centre of the image, a star displays another, larger pinched dark shadow, this time vertically.

A side-by-side comparison of a Hubble image of the massive star cluster NGC 346 (left) versus a Webb image of the same cluster (right). The Hubble image shows the cluster in shades of blue against a black background punctuated by white stars of various sizes. Ethereal nebulosity, looking much like draped chiffon, dominates the image. The Webb view, in shades of pink and orange against a black background, is speckled with fewer stars than in the Hubble version. These stars are white and pink. Webb pierces through the cluster’s clouds to reveal more of its structure, which looks like twisted fibers.

This day in #history, 1777: the #American #ArticlesofConfederation are submitted to the States for ratification. It would eventually be replaced by the #USConstitution in 1787-1789 due to the weakness of the confederacy and uneven powers of States involving currency and interstate commerce.

A field of thousands of small galaxies of various shapes and colors on the black background of space. A bright, foreground star with diffraction spikes is at lower left. Near the image center, a tiny white box outlines a region and two diagonal lines lead to a box in the upper right. Within the box is a banana-shaped blob that is blueish-red in one half and distinctly red in the other half. An arrow points to the redder portion and is labeled “JADES GS z 14 – 0”.

Most distant object known to humanity.
Found by JWST, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant galaxy ever discovered. It's located 13.6 billion light years from us, and since it takes time for light to travel, we see it as it was only 290 million years after the Big Bang.
