If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Wonderful picture. I like today's Butterfly Nebula from Astronomy picture of the day too.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, the Bad Astronomer's whole website.
Thanks. Lovely image.
ReplyDeleteThe Butterfly Nebula is all over the `Net, which is why I went for a different image. I don't understand, gravitationally speaking, how a barred galaxy can exist, but maybe I ought to go read up on it.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem counter-intuitive. But they claim barred-spirals are more common than not.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the one of a portion of the open cluster Omega Centauri ?
What a night sky that would be:
All of the stars in the image are cozy neighbors. The average distance between any two stars in the cluster's crowded core is only about a third of a light-year, roughly 13 times closer than our Sun's nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. Although the stars are close together, WFC3's sharpness can resolve each of them as individual stars. If anyone lived in this globular cluster, they would behold a star-saturated sky that is roughly 100 times brighter than Earth's sky.
