The site is on the traditional territory of the #Similamix People in #BritishColumbia. The Upper #Similkameen #Indian Band offered the name, which means “a listening device for outer space”.

On a cold winter day, it aims for the sun and warms himself with its gentle warmth.

The sun isn't always strong enough to warm our lives, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to catch every single ray that life offers.

Tech detail: Photo taken with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I've taken similar ones with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The significant difference is that with the other two devices, the bokeh around the flower was noticeably off, blurring even the petals. The S24 seems to do a significantly better job.

To celebrate #Hubble's 27th anniversary in 2017, @spacetelescope released this image of a pair of spiral galaxies, NGC 4302 and NGC 4298.

From our view on Earth, NGC 4302 (left) has an inclination of 90 degrees, which is exactly edge-on. NGC 4298 (right) is tilted at about 70 degrees.

While these galaxies may look different because we see them at different angles, their structure and contents are actually very similar.

Today's #Hubble favorite is M51. It's a pair of two interacting galaxies, NGC 5194, the Whirlpool Galaxy, and its companion galaxy NGC 5195. The image was taken to celebrate Hubble's 15th anniversary in 2005.

The Whirlpool Galaxy is a grand design spiral. Its arms may be so prominent because of a series of close encounters with NGC 5195, the small, yellowish galaxy behind the outermost tip of one of its arms.

Has anyone been successful setting up their #Samsung #Android phone to use a private #DNS like that provided by dns.hostux.net? I can set my firefox app to, but the setting for the whole device just gives me errors and then nothing can access the internet. #Hostux #Galaxy A51 #foss4g @valere

The Milky Way's Heart Is Disappearing—For Now

For most of us, the next few weeks are our last chance to glimpse our galaxy's center, before the sun gets in the way.#cosmos #galaxy #stargazing #astronomy #wondersky #section-Articles
The Milky Way's Heart Is Disappearing—For Now

Look, the Very Large #Telescope has imaged a cosmic #flower! 🌼 The blue "petals" are actually multiple images of the same object, a distant #galaxy seen when the #universe was only 20% of its current age. Light rays from this faraway galaxy were bent by the gravity of a foreground galaxy (the orange one at the centre) creating separate images of the distant source – a so-called Einstein Cross.

ESA just released some beautiful #JWST images of M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy.

In the near-infrared image, dark red features trace the filamentary warm dust, while colors of red, orange, and yellow show gas ionized by recently formed star clusters. 

In the mid-infrared image, dust grains and molecules glow, heated by starlight. Empty cavities and bright filaments alternate, giving the impression of ripples propagating from the spiral arms.

Today's #Hubble Favorite.

What appears to be a rather ordinary-looking yellowish elliptical galaxy in Hubble’s visible-light view is Hercules A, one of the brightest objects in the radio light sky. 

#VLA radio observations revealed enormous, one-and-a-half million light-years-long jets, seen here in pink. They are powered by a 2.5-billion-solar-mass black hole in the center of the galaxy.
