Being an adult means eating a brownie for breakfast if you want to

#NASAWebb + @HubbleTelescope = gold! This image of galaxy cluster MACS0416 combines visible and infrared light to create one of the most colorful views of the universe. Astronomers have unearthed some nuggets of science, too: https://t.co/ejC1KP3gJ3

Crab Nebula with Webb!

[Space Telescope Science Institute @SpaceTelescope]

Proof that light can play an important role in highlighting some of your best features: #NASAWebb has observed the Crab Nebula, a well-studied supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away. What does infrared light reveal? https://t.co/c1swre2W7G

Scicomm job alert!

[Space Telescope Science Institute @SpaceTelescope]

Using its infrared view, #NASAWebb has discovered a never-before-seen jet stream—with winds rivaling a Category 5 hurricane on Earth—over Jupiter’s equator: https://t.co/v6CChTZKaC

Io looks like something that got left in the back of the office fridge for three months

[Space Telescope Science Institute @SpaceTelescope]

Imagine crystals appearing out of thin air. Grains so small 10,000 could fit across a strand of hair. Swarms of pointy prisms racing within a sweltering atmosphere. Such is the weather detected by #NASAWebb on the hot gas giant WASP-17 b: https://t.co/SbZ8VG3XT6

Have you heard about JWST seeing galaxies that shouldn’t exist? There’s more to that story!

Happy #GingerCatAppreciationDay 🧡

@united So much for “priority” baggage for first-class passengers. Multiple first class, and dozens of others from flight 884, left sitting at baggage claim for almost an hour. On top of the hour departure delay.

Meet the new and improved Ring Nebula:
The classic view from Hubble is beautiful (first frame), but images from #JWST fill in stunning, never-before-seen details of this dying star. https://t.co/TRJGUJ8Fzq

[ESA Webb Telescope @ESA_Webb]

🆕 Webb has observed the Ring Nebula, one of the most notable objects in our skies. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the Ring Nebula is relatively close to Earth at roughly 2,500 light-years away. Read more: https://t.co/sN1NSvB6YG or 🧵👇

Do I follow you here but not on Mastodon? It's because I couldn't find you, so please send me your info and I'll add you to my list! Time to leave this hellhole.

Good: Having three meeting-free hours in the afternoon.
Bad: Being too exhausted from the previous two-and-a-half days of meetings to do anything productive.
