Seeing this beautiful picture reminded me of an earlier JWST observation of the same nebula, during its calibration days in 2022. So I went on to combine the Euclid's VIS data with this single MIRI filter (F560W) to create this image! 🔭

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

I was waiting all day for the data release of those observations, I am clearly not disappointed!🔭 This is the Cranium Nebula, a planetary nebula, as seen by the JWST with NIRCam (l) and MIRI (r). Processing this data was so fun, this plan. nebula is incredible! HD: flic.kr/p/2rYiLSJ

This is one of my favorite JWST observation ever! 🔭 💙 This is HH288, a star heavier than the Sun being born in front of our eyes! The jets are the result of that process. There is even another star being born near it, as the perpendicular jets are showing. HD: flic.kr/p/2rUKqvx

Clearly not as impressive as the images of Northern Europe, but still impressive to catch auroras in Fiesole/Florence, Italy 🔭 🥰 My very first auroras in 28 years, I'm really moved right now 🥺

It has been a long time since I posted a picture here, so here's one to make it up! 🔭 This is the PGC 50779 galaxy, also known as the Circinus Galaxy, located some 13 million light-years away from us. HD: flic.kr/p/2rS7tjZ

And now the MIRI version! 🔭 The observation was made during the night, and just like with NIRCam, the fragments and the tail are beautiful! HD: flic.kr/p/2rPp5EV

I am not really good with this kind of observation, but here's my processed version of the JWST observation of the C/2025 K1 comet, which was made today! 🔭 The multiple fragments are clearly visible there, in full beauty HD: flic.kr/p/2rPhQUz

A JWST wonder, once again! 🔭 This is the image of the NGC-2440 planetary nebula as seen by the JWST one year ago, that I processed last night! Look how wonderful that thing is 😍 And if you zoom on the centre, you can see a little dot which is suspect is the white dwarf! HD: flic.kr/p/2rCzjR1

Today in PASA we published a new image of our Milky Way at low radio frequencies, in unprecedented colour and detail. Here's just a tiny piece of it -- the whole thing is ten times bigger! We're seeing high energy electrons whirl around cosmic magnetic fields from exploded stars, and more!

Achievement of the day: one of my images on the cover of a French journal, "Les Reflets de la Physique" 😎 🔭 A big thank you to @oliberne.bsky.social who made it possible!

The violent beauty of stars being born in full display thanks to the JWST! 🔭 This is the region around the HOPS-108 protostar in the Orion Nebula. There are so many beautiful jets produced by baby stars tantrum 🤩 HD: flic.kr/p/2rAgnuW

Welcome to Westerhout 3 (or W3) as seen by the JWST! 🔭 This is just a small part of the giant molecular cloud, which is itself located 6,000 light years away from us. It is actively producing new massive stars at a high rate! HD: flic.kr/p/2rz8d85

Last night, the JWST observed Uranus for calibration. Even like that the result is awesome, so here you go with my processed image of that observation! 🔭 HD: flic.kr/p/2ry78y3

The best part of processing space telescopes' data is to discover new regions that I didn't even know existed in the first place! 🔭 This is G054.093+01.748, a star forming region in our galaxy, as seen by the JWST recently, located in the Outer Scutum–Centaurus spiral arm. HD: flic.kr/p/2rxLQyT

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

All eyes on #3I/ATLAS ☄️ Our Mars Express & ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter will observe the comet around its closest approach to Mars on 3 October 2025, when 3I/ATLAS will be around 30 million km from the red planet. Stay tuned and follow esa.int/3IATLAS 🔭🧪

I am bringing your TL some sparkles! 🔭 ✨ This is the NGC-1850 star cluster in the LMC, as seen by Hubble! The number of stars in that part of the cluster is bonkers 🤯 Processing that data was really fun! HD: flic.kr/p/2ruwYSH

The JWST had a new look into the IC348 star forming region last year, and here's my processed image of that observation! 🔭 IC348 is located some 1,000 light years away from us and is made of hundreds of new stars born there. HD: flic.kr/p/2ruCvCz

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Astronomers spot mysterious gamma-ray explosion, unlike any detected before! 💥 Our VLT revealed that its source lies outside our galaxy. Yet its cause is still unknown 🤔 Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2514/ 🔭 🧪 ☄️ #extragalactic #highenergyastro

For 58€ a month I can ride on almost any public transport anywhere in Germany. Within a 15 minute walk from my house I can access 4 S Bahn lines, 3 UBahn lines, regional trains (I honestly don’t even know how many of those), 3 tram lines and at least 4 city bus lines (probably more).

This is a big one! 🔭 A few weeks ago, I worked with a team of astronomers, led by Anne-Marie Lagrange, on SPHERE and MIRI data. It was about the TWA7 exoplanet, something you probably read about in June. They asked me to produce another image, so here's the result:

Starting next Monday and for the next 4 years, I will be a PhD Researcher at the EUI in Florence! As I arrived yesterday, I decided to visit, for the first time, the historic centre of Florence, and it's just incredible!! I can't wait to see even more

I have arachnophobia, but when it's the JWST that observes a spider, I am not scared: I am in awe! 🔭 This is the Red Spider Nebula, a planetary nebula located ~5,000 light years away, as seen by the JWST last year! Every dot here is a star in a small part of our own galaxy HD: flic.kr/p/2robFBx

87M light years away from us lies this lenticular galaxy, NGC-1482. Here you can its beauty thanks to JWST/MIRI data released earlier today! 🔭 It is a starburst galaxy as well, meaning a lot of new stars are born there every years, way more than in our own Milky Way! HD: flic.kr/p/2rnj5cs

Yesterday I was in Barcelona for the day, and that city is really the love of my life 🥰 There are so many beautiful things to see and do rather than just going to tourists-invaded spots (such as the Barceloneta playa)
