Here's my final image of the year- a detailed true color portrait of The Great Orion Nebula. Visible to the naked eye to the entire world during winter months, this is a gorgeous target for astronomers of all skill levels. Happy new year!

An Einstein ring in incredible detail! This image of a rare phenomenon—an Einstein ring—was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. What at first glance appears to be a single, odd-looking galaxy is actually two galaxies separated by a vast distance. The closer foreground

Did you know? An explosion of zinc fireworks occurs when a human egg is activated by a sperm enzyme, and the size of these “sparks” is a direct measure of its ability to develop into an embryo. In other words, life begins with a flash of light. https://t.co/H5BWWUykLt

🚨 Voyager 1 is about to reach 1 light-day from Earth. Almost 16 billion miles after 48 years. 🤯

Jupiter Seen by the James Webb Telescope🛰️

Astronomers have found growing evidence that the Milky Way is located inside a vast cosmic void—a region of space roughly 2 billion light-years across that contains significantly less matter than the cosmic average. This underdensity, sometimes called the KBC Void or Local Hole,

Clearest image ever taken of Phobos. A Moon of Mars.

Clearest image of Venus taken by Japan's Akatsuki Venus Climate Orbiter.

BREAKING 🚨: The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a chain of 20 galaxies, dubbed the Cosmic Vine. Which stretches 13 million light-years across and dates back to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging models of early galaxy clustering.

🚨 Earth is just 1 of 3.2 trillion planets in our galaxy. The sun is just 1 of 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way is 1 of 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe!

Jupiter's gravity helps keep most asteroids from colliding with Earth.

🚨: We usually think of the Solar System as a simple disk of planets, but that is only the very center of a much larger picture. Beyond Neptune lie vast regions of darkness. First, we find the Kuiper Belt, filled with asteroids and dwarf planets. Beyond that lies the Oort

Here's my photo of 3i/Atlas at it's closest point to Earth. This is about two hours worth of exposure, captured through the light pollution in my backyard. It's now moving away from Earth at a blistering 130,000mph.

Magnificent. The milky way in night sky.
