My nomination for today's #SuperbOwl.

The Cosmic Owl is two galaxies that crashed into each other, creating overlapping ring-shaped splashes of stars. It measures 150,000 light years from side to side, or about 10^20 times the size of a Great Grey Owl on Earth.

The Cosmic Owl: Twin Active Collisional Ring Galaxies with Starburst Merging Front at $z=1.14$

Galaxy mergers play a critical role in driving galaxy evolution, especially by transforming galaxy morphology, redistributing the gas around galaxies, triggering AGN activity and star formation. We present the Cosmic Owl, a galaxy merger at $z=1.

For the first time since 1972, humans are headed back toward the Moon 🚀

NASA’s Artemis II will send 4 astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon to test critical systems and pave the way for a future lunar landing.

NASA’s Artemis II plans to send a crew around the Moon to test equipment and lay the groundwork for a future landing

Several robotic spacecraft orbiting the Moon can take detailed pictures of its surface, so why send people around the Moon? A planetary geologist explains the benefits.

Enter the Dragon 🐉🥋

Here it is – my new JWST image of the young protostellar outflow system in Cassiopeia called HH288, aka The Dragon Jet.

We discovered it in the 1990s & the NASA/ESA/CSA JWST reveals stunning new detail, including several new jets crossing the main dragon 🙂👍

This is a 4K version – you can view & download the full 12K image here: flickr.com/gp/markmccaughrean/…

An image of a young protostellar outflow called HH288 in space, as seen with JWST. Much of the background is dark black and blue, with many stars sprinkled across with different colours and brightnesses, many showing the classic eight-pointed shape that comes from the JWST optics. The Dragon Jet itself is a swath of red, orange, and yellow emission spread horizontally across the image, with at least two crossing flows. The main flow resembles a Chinese dragon, hence the name.

On this day, forty years ago: 28 January 1986.

I was working on my astronomy PhD in the terminal room at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh.

Someone came in & told us the awful news. After so many launches & astronauts, we’d grown blasé & didn’t pay much attention anymore.

That changed in 73 seconds on that cold day & we learned again that space is hard.

I still remember their names:

Onizuka, Smith, McAuliffe, Scobee, Jarvis, Resnick, & McNair.

Ad astra, STS-51L Challenger crew ✨

Hello Universe!

Moved to new server.

Re-introduction - Been on here since 2022 and should write an intro again. I'm deaf, I'm a fan of open-source projects, so this will be short and sweet.

Post random ramblings, news, techie stuff, boost mostly cat pics. I just like computers and hang around here.

These are the space-weather conditions right now, the strongest proton storm in over 20 years:

Plot of GOES satellite proton flux measurements over the past three days. Around 24 ago the intensity starts to rise from its background level, currently exceeding the plot limits.

Decided to re-image #IC2177 #TheSeagullNebula with the Light Pollution filter. First last night’s images followed by the previous night’s images. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
IC 2177 The Seagull Nebula - telescope processed image with LP filter. This massive nebula resembles a soaring bird, with different parts like the "head" (Sh2-292) and "wings" (Sh2-296) having their own names.
IC 2177 The Seagull Nebula - telescope processed image without LP filter. The seagull's "eye" is a bright, massive star called HD 53367, which is 20 times the mass of the Sun and lights up the surrounding gas.
IC 2177 The Seagull Nebula - unprocessed image without LP filter. Spanning over 100 light-years from wingtip to wingtip, this star-forming region is located about 3,700 light-years away from Earth.
IC 2177 The Seagull Nebula - unprocessed image without LP filter. Researchers believe the nebula's unique shell-like shape was sculpted by a series of three ancient supernova explosions.
