Well speak of the devil! Next up on Webb's continuing tour of the Greatest Hits of modern astronomy: The Pillars of Creation.

The cool new poo poo: those bright red flares are from very young stars, which are still burping out hot gas ejections as they settle down. Webb can see into the interior of these dust clouds much better than Hubble. These "pillars" don't look nearly so solid anymore, huh?


Neat!

Keep posting cool Webb space poo poo. I don’t have much to comment but I love looking at them nonetheless.

Brings me peace.

The Pillars of Creation again, but this time emphasizing the dust that make up the clouds, making the image go from stellar to spooky.

I mean it's space. Of course it's big.

Unless that's the lie and space is actually super tiny.

Got a 50x50cm print of this on the way, to sit alongside my 100x70cm print of the Carina nebula. Could probably go bigger even, some of the full-size images are ludicrous resolutions.

Nice Tuckpointing!

I've had it on 60 seconds and already the host's microphone is popping and buzzing. Reminded me of the JWST photo reveal broadcast. How are they so bad at livestreams? It's loving NASA lmao

Is that when they couldn't catch the incoming probe with the helicopter?

If so, it's a fuckup, but understandable.

The one where the probe to Mars crashed because someone mixed metric and imperial is bigger IMO.

Yes, but the stunt pilot helicopter mid-air catch wasn't even the problem! They never got a chance to grab it.

The parachute didn't deploy because an accelerometer was installed backwards.
