Think of me as a 1978 VW Golf. Heavily corroded, head gasket tearing, but the engine hasn’t stalled. I’m fighting to clear old debt from a past life to continue my lupus treatment & leave the garage. Full honest story here: whydonate.com/fundraising/... Reposts mean the world! 🚗✨ #mutualaid

NGC 4571 was visited by JWST 🔭, NIRCam, yesterday (blue). The previous visit included MIRI (red) and covered more of the spiral arms.

NGC 4303 is a so-called starburst galaxy: it has an unusually large amount of stars being born, and has been used by astronomers as a laboratory to better understand the fascinating phenomena of star formation. Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2231a/ 🔭 #flashback  📷 ESO/PHANGS

I just found that if you want to see an image in full quality as it was uploaded (and not that unfortunate compressed mess which Bluesky forces on everyone), you open it in a new window and add "@png" to the address. What's interesting is that this also works for images sent as JPEGs!

The galaxy NGC 4486B has a supermassive black hole with a mass of at least 360 million suns (4-13% of the galaxy mass). For comparison: The black hole in the center of our galaxy (Sgr A*) has a mass of "only" 4.3 million suns. source: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2025ApJ.... & wikipedia for Sgr A*

Meanwhile, the probability of large storms keeps rising. We have already had our first two tropical storms in the North Pacific. Meanwhile, the North Atlantic coast, the highlands in Mexico, the Midwest of the USA, and the plains in Canada are seeing an increase in storms and lightning production.
