Take the plunge across 13.2 billion years of cosmic history.
This JWST image, just 1/5th as wide as the full Moon, shows 45,000 galaxies, including 100s from the mysterious era when the universe was just 5% its present age. https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2023/127/01H1Q1CGJD51CDJTK2NHJWD06M #space #nature #JWST

This is a really important point: From a business perspective, the goal of a Google AI is to make sure you never view primary sources on other web pages, only the chopped-and-processed information on Google's own site.

This is the most convincing explanation I've seen for 'Oumuamua, the interstellar object that accelerated strangely as it flew away from the Sun.
Most likely it was pushed by puffs of invisible hydrogen gas. Sorry -- not aliens! https://news.berkeley.edu/2023/03/22/surprisingly-simple-explanation-for-alien-comet-oumuamuas-weird-orbit/ #comet #interstellar

The new theory about 'Oumuamua is simple and plausible. In interstellar space, water ice breaks down into hydrogen gas. When the comet approached the Sun, pockets of trapped gas escaped and gave it a nudge.
I'm not saying it's not aliens...but it's almost certainly not aliens.

Asteroid Ryugu contains vitamin B3 and uracil, one of the chemical letters in RNA, according to a new analysis of samples collected by Japan's Hayabusa2 probe. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/building-block-life-asteroid-ryugu #astrobiology #asteroids

Researchers have discovered the first known "virovore," an organism that feeds on viruses. Probably there are many others like it -- an entire, previously unknown food chain.
One day into 2023, and already things are going topsy turvy.

Look at that: Two Hawaii volcanoes going at the same time! #MaunaLoa and #Kilauea are working together to release some of Earth's bottled-up heat.

Amazing night shot of #MaunaLoa and #Kilauea, erupting side by side.

They are both powered by the same source: A 2000-kilometer deep plume of hot rock that's been rising beneath the Pacific for the past 85 million years.

The view from NASA's Artemis mission yesterday is just...words fail me.
