In my opinion, it's the Webb's most beautiful image so far. What do you think? ๐คฉ๐ค
Astronomers focused three of Webbโs high-resolution infrared instruments on the Tarantula. Viewed with Webbโs Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), the region resembles a burrowing tarantulaโs home, lined with its silk. The nebulaโs cavity centered in the NIRCam image has been hollowed out by blistering radiation from a cluster of massive young stars, which sparkle pale blue in the image. Only the densest surrounding areas of the nebula resist erosion by these starsโ powerful stellar winds, forming pillars that appear to point back toward the cluster. These pillars contain forming protostars, which will eventually emerge from their dusty cocoons and take their turn shaping the nebula.

Hubble Vs Gemini vs James Webb ๐ญ
The latest images of Jupiter from the @NASAWebb are stunners.
Captured on July 27, the infrared imagesโartificially colored to make specific features stand outโshow fine filigree along the edges of the colored bands and around the Great Red Spot and also provide an unprecedented view of the auroras over the north and south poles.
One wide-field image presents a unique lineup of the planet, its faint rings and two of Jupiter's smaller satellitesโAmalthea and Adrasteaโagainst a background of galaxies.
"We've never seen Jupiter like this. It's all quite incredible," said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, professor emerita of the University of California, Berkeley, who led the scientific observations of the planet with Thierry Fouchet, a professor at the Paris Observatory. "We hadn't really expected it to be this good, to be honest. It's really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites and even galaxies in one image."
The two images come from the observatoryโs Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), which has three specialized infrared filters that showcase details of the planet. Since infrared light is invisible to the human eye, the light has been mapped onto the visible spectrum. Generally, the longest wavelengths appear redder and the shortest wavelengths are shown as more blue.

Back in the year 2000, a 1,003 kilogram (2,211 lbs) meteorite was discovered near Fukang, a city located in the northwestern region of Xinjiang, China. Named the โFukang meteoriteโ, it was identified as a pallasite, a type of stonyโiron meteorite, with striking olivine crystals throughout.
Pallasites are extremely rare even among meteorites (only about 1% of all meteorites are this type) and Fukang has been hailed as one of the greatest meteorite discoveries of the 21st century.
๐ท: Southwest Meteorite Laboratory (A total of 31 kilograms (68 lb) of the specimen is on deposit at University of Arizonaโs Southwest Meteorite Laboratory.)

The Event Horizon telescope made history on April 10, 2019, when it released the first ever image of a black hole. The bright orange circle, located 53 million light-years away, was imaged by eight radio observatories across four separate continents. Their combined resolution was able to peer all the way out into the center of M87 and glimpse the glowing light from by the ultra-hot gas and dust swirling around the supermassive black holeโs event horizon.
Whatโs new here: In a pair of new studies published in the Astrophysical Journal, astronomers went back through the archive of data that led to the first image and analyzed the movement of polarized light around the object. Light waves normally oscillate back and forth, in many different directions. But these waves can become polarized by magnetic fields, and that oscillation becomes confined to a single linear plane. This light effectively traces the black holeโs magnetic field lines, creating a sharper visual than the blurred doughnut shown off in 2019.
