I love/hate this one. I can make one of the fine figures move in an opposite direction to the others in my mind, but I can't specifically choose which ones are moving together; it changes when I try to focus on all three.This one is hotter:
One way or the other, definitely wood the one on the left. I mean the right.

NASA’s Webb Delivers Deepest Infrared Image of Universe Yet - NASA
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.

I'm not usually into this stuff but holy shit these images are freaking awesome and the thought of there being like millions of galaxies just like ours makes my brain hurt.This image was released yesterday. More to come this morning. Incredible

Galileo with another "see, assholes, I was right" moment.
They said the portion of the sky pictured is equivalent to the size of a grain of rice held at arms length. Wtf
Space creeps me out. The idea that it's infinite is scary. But if it did have an ending, what would be on the other side? Hurts my brain to think of that shit.
the beginning? I think probably so.
I honestly don't know what the big deal is here. I can get more or less the same images on my Samsung 7.
Seriously though, it's pretty much the same as the Hubble gave us, only the image is from farther away. No matter how far away the image comes from we'll never be able to see past a certain point because of the rate of expansion of the universe. Light from way out there will never reach us unless the U stops expanding and even then it will be a long time before the light gets here. Or maybe the U starts to collapse.
So we'll have to go there to find out. Who's with me?
There are a few folks from the Board that I would like to nominate as the first to go forth on our behalf.
lol, I have the feeling that we would both select the same advance party.
James Webb Space Telescope's stunning 'Phantom Galaxy' picture looks like a wormhole
The telescope is 'new, different, and exciting' for Judy Schmidt, who has been working with space images for a decade.
Oh my days! Midnight comes a fraction sooner as Earth spins faster
Analysis: Reflecting a recent trend, 29 June was the shortest day on our planet since the 1960s. What’s going on?
"The Sun is pretty massive, but it's got nothing on SDSS J0100+2802. That catchy-named "hyperluminous quasar" that holds one of the most massive black holes in the universe—about 12 billion times the mass of the Sun with a diameter of 70.9 billion kilometers."
A disturbing scientific fact:
"Einstein’s famous equation is certainly one of the most brilliant and beautiful scientific discoveries—but it’s also one of the most disturbing. The power explained by the equation really rests in the c², or the speed of light (186,282 miles per second) times itself, which equals 34,700,983,524. When that’s your multiplier, you don’t need much mass—a smidgen of plutonium is plenty—to create enough energy to destroy a city."

Boosting the Immune System to Fight Cancer
The scientists wondered if it is possible to use the body’s immune system to fight off cancer. As part of the study, 14 patients with MMRd rectal cancer were given Jemperli, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The study had a small sample size, but the results were remarkable.
It took only a few treatments for the majority of patients to feel better, and by the end of the study, they were all cancer-free and in remission. Furthermore, none of them required radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery. A study is currently being conducted to see if other cancers can benefit from the same or similar treatment.

The Surface of Mercury is Covered with Diamond Dust
Mercury was initially surrounded by a magma ocean in its early formation. The magma formed graphite, which eventually rose to the surface and formed a thick floating graphite crust. After the formation of the solar system, the first billion years were punctuated by asteroid impacts, which could have instantly converted graphite to diamonds.
Unlike diamonds on Earth, these would be smaller, clearer gems than what we’re used to seeing in jewellery. There would have been microscopic diamond dust strewn all over the surface rather than diamonds. Mercury’s surface composition could be better understood with future missions, but if these estimates are accurate, Mercury may hold diamond hoards sixteen times larger than those on Earth.
In other news, Schiffman Jewelers has announced it will be sponsoring a mission to Mercury in 2025.
It’s fascinating how land and sea was once populated by gigantic creatures then nature “down sized” across the board.
