Leda and the Swan
by W.B. Yeats
Leda and the Swan is a story and subject in art from Greek mythology in which the god Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces Leda, a Spartan queen. According to later Greek mythology, Leda bore Helen and Polydeuces, children of Zeus, while at the same time bearing Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, the King of Sparta.

James Webb Space Telescope Captures NGC 346 Star Cluster
This stunning image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows NGC 346, a massive star cluster located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way. The cluster, with its lack of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, offers scientists a unique opportunity to study stellar environments similar to those in the early universe.
In this image, ten small yellow circles highlight the positions of the ten stars surveyed in the study.
