🛸🔭 Using #math and #engineering, an #aerospace scientist explains why #interstellar visitors face extreme obstacles like vast distances, staggering fuel requirements, micrometeorite impacts, and conflicting design trade-offs – making an #alien visit to #Earth far less likely than #UFO headlines suggest.

This year in August there will be a (total) solar eclipse in Europe and I want to watch it. What are your recommendations for solar eclipse glasses?
Boosts are appreciated to get the most answers.

🕳️ A Swinburne University team caught an hour-long microlensing brightening of a star in the LMC during a high-cadence DECam survey. The lens 'Phoebe' has ~3 lunar masses – a primordial black hole candidate and possible clue to dark matter.

🔴 New JWST analysis of 48,000 galaxies across 4 deep fields shows the famous 'Little Red Dots' don't form a new class – they're 'Shaqs' of the galaxy world, the extreme tail of a continuous distribution. A nice lesson in interpreting big data.

Abell 2744, also known as Pandoras Cluster, represents one of the most complex gravitational interactions observed in the local universe. This composite image synthesizes data from multiple observatories to reveal the simultaneous collision of at least four separate galaxy clusters. While the visible galaxies account for only five percent of the mass, the rest is comprised of hot intergalactic gas and a vast reservoir of dark matter revealed through gravitational lensing. Studying these massive collisions allows astronomers to observe how dark matter interacts with baryonic matter, providing critical evidence for current cosmological models and the structural evolution of the universe at its largest scales. #Astronomy #Cosmology #Astrophysics #NASA #GalaxyClusters

The Spinning Pulsar of the Crab Nebula
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2508/Crab_HubbleChandraSpitzer_1080.jpg
At the core of the Crab Nebula lies a city-sized, magnetized neutron star spinning 30 times a second. Known as the Crab Pulsar, it is the bright spot in the center of the gaseous swirl at the nebula's core. About twelve light-years across, the spectacular picture frames the glowing gas, cavities and swirling filaments near the Crab Nebula's center. The featured picture combines visible light from the Hubble Space Telescope in purple, X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue, and infrared light from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. Like a cosmic dynamo, the Crab pulsar powers the emission from the nebula, driving a shock wave through surrounding material and accelerating the spiraling electrons. With more mass than the Sun and the density of an atomic nucleus,the spinning pulsar is the collapsed core of a massive star that exploded. The outer parts of the Crab Nebula are the expanding remnants of the star's component gases. The supernova explosion was witnessed on planet Earth in the year 1054.
