It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.

Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: https://t.co/63zxpNDi4I

🌊 @Idenergie_Inc makes a water turbine that generates up to 12kWh of energy per day (as much as 12 solar panels 😱). The turbine is minimal, made from aluminum, and even ships in separate parts to save on transport costs and space.

Now THAT'S a great climate solution

🛢 Based in Israel, Plasticback breaks down plastics into oils, waxes, and other valuable chemicals in small room-temperature conversion units (5m x 5m). Current alternatives for doing so require very hot and very large units https://t.co/9HNJLkY99Y

🕳 NASA released a visualization of 22 known black hole binary systems.

The colors of the black hole accretion discs have been altered; normally, the black hole accretion discs would be blindingly bright compared to their star 😱 https://t.co/UGHlcnZ1Cs

🧬 Researchers studied the genomes of over 18,500 tumors—the largest number to date—to find signatures across cancers.

And boy howdy, they found 58 new ones! Rock on 🤘 https://t.co/ksp2MivH0R

🏭 The US DOE has given conditional approval for a $504m loan for a green hydrogen hub in Utah.

Hydrogen, a power source with huge potential, is colored based on how it’s created. Naturally, green indicates that it’s created with renewable energy. ♻ https://t.co/MeEZamHHX3

🤖 Researchers built an AI to differentiate animals & understand and track their behavior over time. The AI can detect different behaviors such as those linked to stress, fear, curiosity, and more.😱 https://t.co/ikTdEVtcKj

Can YOU reach Net Zero?

The @FinancialTimes created The Climate Game, a choose-your-own-adventure game that pits players against climate change to see if they can reach Net Zero by 2050. https://t.co/qg8yQoSRWZ

In this week's To the Stars with Data, I discuss things like
- Catching a rocket with a helicopter
- Black holes and stars orbiting together
- Fecal transplants reducing aging symptoms
- And much more

Check it out and let me know your thoughts! https://t.co/tWGLPShceS
