“As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are - what others say is irrelevant.”

— Nic Sheff

WHYYYYY

They may look like splotches to you, but these are Direct Photo Images of planets orbiting ANOTHER STAR. (Credit to NASA)

These images are the coolest thing I've seen in my life.

Normally we can only detect 'exoplanets' like these by staring at a single star for a long, long time, and making a bunch of charts and extrapolating from the data.

The James Webb space telescope is powerful enough that it could actually directly take pictures of these distant worlds, and it just gave us our first look. The first picture captures planets around star HR 8799, around 130 light-years away from the sun, and the second shows a planet around star 51 Eridani around 97 light-years away.

Happy birthday Minori!!

Hubble Images a Complex Galactic Trio by NASA Hubble Space Telescope

This luminescent image features multiple galaxies, perhaps most noticeably LEDA 58109, the lone galaxy in the upper right. LEDA 58109 is flanked by two further galactic objects to its lower left – a galaxy with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) called SDSS J162558.14+435746.4 that partially obscures the galaxy SDSS J162557.25+435743.5, which appears to poke out to the right behind the AGN.
