Kitt Peak National Observatory image of Arp 9, also known as NGC 2523.
NGC 2523 is the bright barred spiral galaxy on the left side of this image. The edge-on spiral galaxy to the right is NGC 2523 B. They are both in the same group of galaxies are are about 180 million light years away.

First serious effort with the Seestar S50. 229 minutes of data in 19.72 SQM skies. Even caught 14th magnitude background galaxy NGC 5477. No post processing by me, it's all the Seestar. #astronony #astrophotography #seestar #M101

重たい計算をするのにスーパーコンピュータは必須。
もともとコンピュータに興味がありましたが、サーバーを立ててから、よりコンピュータへの興味が強くにゃりました。
We need supercomputers for heavy calculations.
I have been interested in computers for many years. Since I built my misskey server, I got more interested in them.

Recently, a mini-Neptune #exoplanet had its spectrum taken, revealing the presence of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and maybe dimethyl sulfide.
But the claims that have ensued, that it's a water-rich, #Hycean world with life in its atmosphere, are unsupported by the data.
It is vitally important that we do not fool ourselves by jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions. Unfortunately, almost everyone is still getting it wrong.
