Laika's Still Up There. Not Her Body, Sure, But Her Soul Is. I Saw It Through My Telescope One Night

@nasa please launch me to these newly discovered habitable planets, i’m done with earth

The Solar System!

Time for a bonus comic! 

Look out for “Temperature of Mars” on Saturday and “Seasons on Mars” on Sunday!

hey, don't cry. comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) visible to us humans for the first time in 50,000 years before it'll leave us forever, ok?

This first image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.

Cosmic Web

The concept of the cosmic web—viewing the universe as a set of discrete galaxies held together by gravity—is deeply ingrained in cosmology. Yet, little is known about architecture of this network or its characteristics. Our research used data from 24,000 galaxies to construct multiple models of the cosmic web, offering complex blueprints for how galaxies fit together. These three interactive visualizations help us imagine the cosmic web, show us differences between the models, and give us insight into the fundamental structure of the universe.

An awesome work of the Center for Complex Network Research
