I wonder if the James Webb Space Telescope deserves its own topic. It was often mentioned in this thread. Here's a recent image of the Pillars of Creation:

JWST
interesting that the little "trapezium" of 4 white stars at the bottom of the 3rd leg (the small one at the right half way down) in the JWST is INVISIBLE in the Hubble version due to them being so far in the Red end. the Hubble view:
​
​
i call it a "trapezium" because it's like the Trapezium at the center of the Orion nebula, M42.

Re: Off on a road trip to Utah
Well, back on the road again tomorrow morning. I managed to get up a nice stream flowing out of the Wasatch Mountains and got a few dragonflies including a female I was hoping for and she seems to be depositing eggs for me.
​
My wife went with her brother all week to his radiation treatments. They seem to make him pretty tired and he has lost his appetite. Yesterday his blood pressure was quite low. I'm glad we came to visit now.
​
There are winter storm alerts for tomorrow, but I think we can slide into Oregon's lower elevations before the snow hits the mountain passes.

Re: Off on a road trip to Utah
We woke up in Baker City with about 2 inches of snow on our car, and lots in the surrounding mountains, but we had clear roads all the last 300+ miles and made it home without mishap, My specimens all made it home alive also, so tomorrow will be spent shooting portraits and taking care of the eggs the female oviposited for me.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

limerick challenge: asphyxiation
when Elon's Space X in its station
attempts its bold annexiation
   of the big asteroid,
   it will fail to avoid
creating world asphyxiation
