  1. Sun May Have Escaped Milky Way’s Crowded Core Billions of Years Ago

    Using a vast catalog of Sun-like stars built by ESA’s Gaia mission, astronomers have found strong evidence that…

  2. The James #Webb Space Telescope would probably not be your first choice for observing the large open #StarCluster of the #Pleiades but the authors of the paper "JWST imaging of the Pleiades: anisotropy of turbulence in the cold neutral medium" - arxiv.org/abs/2602.03672 - did it anyway, to study the turbulent energy cascade in the CNM the cluster happens to move through right now. Here is what they saw, with the NIRCam and the F335M filter - for the four cuts from the JWST pictures at the bottom in detail see fig. 2 of the paper.

  12. So, here's another one.

    This is basically the same as the last one, but I *cheated* in processing by using the Mantiuk Tonemapping operator as provided by #GIMP.

    Fun fact about this; my wegde was in use at the time, so I just put the #Seestar out on its mini tripod and let it do a Mosaic of 1.4x the target area using 10s exposures;

    * wanted a mosaic to have more pixels to play with
    * it would cover the area regardless of eq/alt-az mode

    Turned out really well, I think.

    For comparison, the non-tonemapped variant is here: hachyderm.io/@fritschy/1155113
