Josh Universe :goldverify:Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun <a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YW1yQt3K_YY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/embed/YW1yQt3K_YY</a> If you watch long enough, a comet will appear. Before then, you will see our Solar System from inside the orbit of Mercury as recorded by NASA's Parker Solar Probe looping around the Sun. The video captures coronal streamers into the solar wind, a small Coronal Mass Ejection, and planets including, in order of appearance, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Between the emergence of Earth and Mars, Comet Tempel 1 appears with a distinctive tail. The continuous fleeting streaks are high energy particles from the Sun impacting Parker's sideways looking camera. The featured time-lapse video was taken last year during Encounter 21, Parker's 21st close approach to the Sun. Studying data and images from Parker are delivering a better understanding of the dynamic Sun's effects on Earth's space weather as well as humanity's power grids, spacecraft, and space-faring astronauts.

ESOSupermassive black hole caught playing with its food!The supermassive black hole at the centre of galaxy NGC 4945 is swallowing huge amounts of matter. Yet, contrary to a black hole’s all-consuming reputation, our Very Large Telescope (VLT) has caught it blowing out powerful winds of material. This cone-shaped wind is shown in red in the inset image. In fact, the wind is moving so fast that it will end up escaping the galaxy altogether, lost to the void of intergalactic space.Read more: <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2513a/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2513a/</a>📷 ESO/C.

Enrique BoenekerI found out from Wikipedia that this distant object is called Sarah's Galaxy. I find this name more appropriate than the ordinary and vulgar one that people call it. Sarah's Galaxy refers to Sarah Williams, who wrote this poem that is all me now:"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night."

Appropriately named, Helene is a Trojan moon, so called because it orbits at a Lagrange point. A Lagrange point is a gravitationally stable position near two massive bodies, in this case Saturn and larger moon Dione. In fact, irregularly shaped ( about 36 by 32 by 30 kilometers) Helene orbits at Dione's leading Lagrange point while brotherly ice moon Polydeuces follows at Dione's trailing Lagrange point. The sharp stereo anaglyph was constructed from two Cassini images captured during a close flyby in 2011. It shows part of the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Helene mottled with craters and gully-like features.

Bob TregilusHm, a new paper suggests Mars redness comes from ferrihydrite (Fe5O8H nH2O), not hematite (Fe2O3). If true, this suggests that Mars was once a water world and likely had an oxygen rich atmosphere raising the possibly of ancient life on the planet before most of its atmosphere was blown away by solar radiation.Dr. Becky explains in this ten minute video: <a href="https://youtu.be/4_DsX-1-q1E?feature=shared&t=166" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/4_DsX-1-q1E?feature=shared&t=166</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mars</a>
