Benne W. Holwerda @brittlundgren.bsky.social have a fantastic colloquium today at the university of Louisville’s physics & astronomy department today on the connection between Thomas Young’s lectures and af Klint’s abstract art.
SETI Institute #PPOD: Galaxies warp, stretch, and multiply across this view from NASA’s JWST. The golden galaxies belong to the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0454.1-0300, seen as it was about 8 billion years ago. The cluster’s enormous gravity bends spacetime and distorts light... 🧪 🔭
Space Telescope Science Institute #NASAWebb peered into the Flame Nebula, locating the faint infrared signatures of several brown dwarfs, objects so small that their cores will never sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen. The smallest among them is two to three times the mass of Jupiter: https://bit.ly/4iZyqC8 🔭
Elizabeth Tasker MEGANE (meaning 👓 in Japanese) is a science instrument onboard the JAXA Martian Moons eXploration mission 🛰️, contributed by NASA (and hammered together at JHU).
