In just one week of observations, with one scan of each region so far, Euclid already spotted 26 million galaxies. The farthest of those are up to 10.5 billion light-years away. #ESA #Space #Euclid

The three Vendée Globe leaders continue their immense battle. Charlie Dalin (MACIF Santé Prévoyance) is once again steadily building his lead over Yoann Richomme (PAPREC ARKÉA) who is in second this afternoon 47 miles behind. Sébastien Simon (Groupe Dubreuil) is third at 73 miles astern. And Friday morning (UTC) they will pass the legendary Point Nemo, the furthest point from any land.

SOLO, NON STOP AND WITHOUT ASSISTANCE #vendeeglobe

How far can black hole jets extend? A new record was found just recently with the discovery of a 23-million light-year long jet pair from a black hole active billions of years ago.

When massive galaxies pass near each other, gas is typically condensed from which new stars form. Gravity is wild in the greater universe. Below link to a Hubble image illustrating the phenomenon.

Great day at the Dallas Arboretum watching the solar eclipse. Clouds disappeared just in time for a clear Dallas view. Took these pics. What a beautiful setting. #eclipse #dallasarboretum
