Behold the collection of some of the images of Cosmic Objects we have Captured so far with our sophisticated space telescopes. Keep in mind that the first telescope was made in 1608.
This implies that in less than five centuries, we advanced from inventing a local telescope to building powerful space telescopes that captured these images and unveils the universe to humankind.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which is the most powerful telescope ever built has unveiled more mindblowing detailed images. I will be revealing some of these fascinating iimages soon. So f0ll0w Future Worlds to see them

SOCEMA Grégoire, 1952. An experimental gas turbine-powered, highly aerodynamic coupé created by French automobile engineer Jean-Albert Gregoire. Powered by a single rotor kerosene-fuelled ‘cematurbo’ engine developing 100 bhp at a 25,000 rpm. The lightweight aluminium frame and bodywork and the aerodynamic shape – a Cx of just 0.19 – enabled a 200km/h top speed which placed it among the fastest cars on the planet in 1952. The project went no further than a single prototype due to the high cost of construction and braking issues; a gas turbine doesn't generate any engine braking effect upon deceleration.

A "Hobo Nickel" is the name given to American nickel coins that were hand-engraved by homeless people (hobos) during the Great Depression. Hobos used these engravings to increase the value of an ordinary nickel, creating small works of art that they could exchange for food, rides, or other services.
These engravings were often very detailed and creative, and the motifs varied. A common motif, as can be seen in the picture, was a skull. Today, Hobo Nickels are valuable collector's items, and some examples have sold at auction for thousands of dollars.
The picture here shows such a nickel redesigned with a skeleton motif. This is a part of the story that reflects creativity and survival during the difficult time of the Great Depression in the United States.
