I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.

What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.

Warped space, right before your eyes!

This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features a rare cosmic phenomenon called an Einstein ring. What at first appears to be a single, strangely shaped galaxy is actually two galaxies that are separated by a large distance. The closer foreground galaxy sits at the center of the image, while the more distant background galaxy appears to be wrapped around the closer galaxy, forming a ring.

Months late: Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore back on earth

A few days on board the ISS turned into months for Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore due to problems with the Boeing Starline. Now they have returned.

As a reminder, in September I wrote an op-ed article for @AirlineReporter which explained #Starliner test pilot astronauts Wilmore and Williams were not "stranded" like airline passengers stuck in an unfamiliar terminal. It was a significant schedule change. But they're senior astronauts. Both retired from the US Navy at the rank of Captain. All astronauts make contingency plans for longer stays on orbit. They knew how to work as space station crew. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/113079672536029751 #NASA #Crew9

"F-22 Pilot Swaps in for Guardian at International Space Station" by Air & Space Forces Magazine - Article notes that #NASA #Crew10 pilot Nichole Ayers (Major USAF) arrives at ISS as #Crew9 commander Nick Hague (Colonel USSF) prepares to return to Earth. Each is a member of a crew rotation of 4, with other US military members. The article links these two due to focus on Air Force & Space Force, excluding Army & Navy on the crews. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/f-22-pilot-guardian-international-space-station/ #space #military #aviation #avgeek

Trump and Musk are attacking NASA today.

Musk is not a geek, he is not a 'science nerd', it's just another lie of his.

He wants to destroy NASA to make profit, he doesn't care about going to Mars or anything like that, he just wants Power.

The long knives are now out for @NASA. It's billed here as "a first step in broader workforce reductions at the agency ordered by the Trump administration."

One of the affected divisions is the Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy (OTPS), whose intended purpose "was to provide 'data- and evidence-driven technology, policy, and strategy advice' for NASA. It has worked on topics such as space sustainability and space solar power studies."
