Look, I don’t mean to alarm anyone but those #JWST images of the ‘Pillars of Creation’ are now downloadable and public!

A little processing job I just did on them … gosh, these structures are glorious, aren’t they?!

Another little section of the ‘Pillars of Creation’ (captured by #JWST) I just processed.

I can’t stop finding all these little structures, knotted on the tops of the molecular clouds. The detail here is truly astonishing.

Isn't this just bonkers?

A massive gamma-ray burst went off in space recently and it was so strong, that it ionised the upper parts of Earth's atmosphere, changing how radio waves propagate through it. Detectors in India, Germany and UK observed this change 👇

Folks who work in these fields have mentioned that it is likely due to the collapse of a massive star, giving birth to a black hole, about 2 billion years ago.

Kinda blew my mind how it affects Earth's atmosphere so much!

anybody else finding themselves going back to look at the intricate details of the #JWST images?

Sorry, I know some of you are maybe bored with this, but I keep seeing new things!

Like, I never paid attention before, but the tree-ring like structures of the planetary nebula! semi-circle nebulous structure showing a blue hollow-ish cor
Or what looks like that thin dust line, in the edge on spiral galaxy behind the planetary nebula.

You can see its core hub region. This reminds me of the needle galaxy a lot! an edge on spiral galaxy that looks like a narrow line of br
And this galaxy, in Stephan's Quintet .... how you can see the individual sources of light (?), and how its central supermassive black hole is nowhere near as bright as the other galaxies, even though the other galaxies are many times further away. oval shaped translucent galaxy filled with lots of individua

I mean, this is incredible!

THERE ARE GAY RAINBOWS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE START OF TIME!

I know a few people were pretty shitty about the first JWST image going out early (they have reasons, I get it), but seeing the reactions to this vid (check out the QTs and replies) has really got LOTS of folks talking and thinking about our place in the Universe - this is good!
The main reactions have been:

"We are sooooo not alone in the Universe / there are aliens out there"

"Holy, shit, wow!"

"This is terrifying, we are so insignificant"

"We should stop fighting amongst ourselves, look at this perspective"
I have been the same!

The whole day, I have been unable to properly focus on my job as I have had my mind in this image the whole time.

And you know what - I AM GLAD THAT ONE IMAGE WAS RELEASED FIRST!

Christ, imagine the overload of all 5 images at once ... meltdown!

I mean, look at them.

Look at all of them.

Each galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars. The curved arcs are of galaxies that are even further behind, that the foreground galaxy's gravity warps and bends their light to us.

So friggen beautiful.

I was speaking to my mum today, she is getting ready for 2nd jab next week. They're all in Fairfield.

I asked her how the mood was out there ... and encouragingly she said that it's done a 180-flip ... people are wanting/rushing to book themselves in for the vaccine ASAP.

1/n
I asked her why, what changed?

She said the biggest motivator for the people she was speaking to was the notion that the double-vaxxed would be able to go to do things, go to shops, etc. over those who were not vaxxed.

It's a HUGE motivator out there IMO.

2/n
I know there are complexities with this strategy (e.g., privilege access to health, location, vaccine availability, etc.) but mum reckons, well at least for Fairfield and at least amongst her large community network - that this changed people's minds quicksmart.
