So cool!. Black holes are cool, y’all.
This is the actual supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy (Saggitrarius A*), observed by JWST (NIRCam) for over 9 hours. The flickers you see are solar flares on a mind-boggling scale, bright enough to shine across 26,000 light-years of space.

You know it’s time to clean off the iPad when you’re trying to erase marks on a drawing in your graphics program and then realize it’s a fingerprint.

An absolutely fantastic image of Saturn and its rings. The rings are made largely of ice and dust, and one of the rings -the E ring- is the bluest object in our the solar system.

The next official JWST release will be of a high resolution image of The Firefly Sparkle galaxy: the earliest stages of the assembly of a Milky Way-type galaxy in a 600 Myr old universe.
