"Amazing" is a grossly-overused word these days, but sometimes it's the only one to use, and this new view of Mars, made from images taken by Perseverance yesterday, definitely is amazing. I hope you all like it! (Please Share if you do!) Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/S Atkinson

Lol, more exaggerated misinformation. There is normally a New Moon each and every month. Sometimes our human calendar ,with varying days, goes out of synch with the Lunar Month, meaning 2 New Moons occur in one month or 1 more in a season. But it's Not an extra New Moon, giving

💫🔭 Outside, on the roof, under the #nightsky and the summer #stars, while I sleep, the robot 🤖 is taking colourful pictures of celestial objects so far away that they are invisible to the naked eye. Many of these stellar bodies are thousands of light years away from us.

This is misleading. Its thought the Earth formed just 10's of million years after the Sun initially formed from originating cloud of gas and dust. The Water on Earth is older than the Sun, as the Oxygen in water was formed in an earlier star supernova, and the Hydrogen was formed

It’s not from around here... 🌌 The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is passing through our cosmic neighborhood! Astronomer Brian Lemaux is leading this session, where students and the public will join the observing team live! Register ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Image of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS from NASA Spherex mission shows an extended dust/gas coma and Carbon Dioxide and water emissions, typical of comets. Lack of a large tail may indicate its low in volatile materials, but time will tell as more observations made as it reaches

A new image of the centre of the Butterfly Nebula, NGC 6302, by Webb (infrared) and Alma (sub-mm) telescopes, reveals the complex swirls of gas and dust. The central star is also seen, obscured at visible wavelengths. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, M. Matsuura, ALMA

Remarkable image of a 9x Jupiter size "baby" planet, forming from the protoplanetary disc around star WISPIT. Thought to be only around 5 million years old. An infrared image by ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile highlights the gas/dust and the glowing planet. Credit: ESO
