Maybe I’m missing a setting, but inline gifs don’t seem to work on the iPad version. Love the app overall, thanks for all your work!

M 74 Spiral (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

From Source:

  • This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope shows the heart of M74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy. Webb’s sharp vision has revealed delicate filaments of gas and dust in the grandiose spiral arms which wind outwards from the centre of this image. A lack of gas in the nuclear region also provides an unobscured view of the nuclear star cluster at the galaxy's centre. M74 is a particular class of spiral galaxy known as a ‘grand design spiral’, meaning that its spiral arms are prominent and well-defined, unlike the patchy and ragged structure seen in some spiral galaxies.

Stephan's Quintet (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

From Source:

With its powerful, mid-infrared vision, the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) shows never-before-seen details of Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies. MIRI pierced through dust-enshrouded regions to reveal huge shock waves and tidal tails, gas and stars stripped from the outer regions of the galaxies by interactions. It also unveiled hidden areas of star formation. The new information from MIRI provides invaluable insights into how galactic interactions may have driven galaxy evolution in the early universe.

Yep, I had a cat that would paw on the door if it wasn't open. I decided to see how long he'd stick with it. My sanity broke at 2 hours. He won and it was open from that night forward.

Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?

That brings back some Midtown Madness memories!

JWST keeps looking further back in time.

NGC 6652 (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

From source:

The glittering, glitzy contents of the globular cluster NGC 6652 sparkle in this star-studded image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The core of the cluster is suffused with the pale blue light of countless stars, and a handful of particularly bright foreground stars are adorned with criss-crossing diffraction spikes. NGC 6652 lies in our own Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Sagittarius, just under 30 000 light-years from Earth and only 6500 light-years from the Galactic centre.

Tarantula Nebula (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

From source:

In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust. The most active region appears to sparkle with massive young stars, appearing pale blue. Scattered among them are still-embedded stars, appearing red, yet to emerge from the dusty cocoon of the nebula. NIRCam is able to detect these dust-enshrouded stars thanks to its unprecedented resolution at near-infrared wavelengths.

From the source:

Ejections from the star have cleared out cavities above and below it, whose boundaries glow orange and blue in this infrared view. The upper central region displays bubble-like shapes due to stellar “burps,” or sporadic ejections.

Likely to be to most iconic comparison to Hubble so far. Hubble on the left, JWST on the right.

Herbig-Haro 46/47 (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

From Source:

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a tightly bound pair of actively forming stars, known as Herbig-Haro 46/47, in high-resolution near-infrared light. Look for them at the center of the red diffraction spikes. The stars are buried deeply, appearing as an orange-white splotch. They are surrounded by a disk of gas and dust that continues to add to their mass.
