I can tell you stories about turbulent cascade and what we can learn from that about the evolution of interstellar medium and galactic organization... but all I want to do is get excited about the pretty pictures and colors.

How the Milky Way-Andromeda merger became so uncertain Andromeda is moving towards us at 109 km/s, from a distance of 2.5 million light-years away. That doesn't mean a collision-and-merger in 4 billion years, but it will happen. Eventually. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astronomy #galaxies

It's not quite #Leo season yet, but it's always the time for NGC 3447 -- two interacting galaxies located 60 million miles away in the #constellation Leo.

There's a 50:50 chance our galaxy won't crash into our largest neighbour
By Ellen Phiddian

A new study challenges predictions our home galaxy the Milky Way will crash into the Andromeda galaxy in 5 billion years.

Collision course? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/will-the-milky-way-and-andromeda-galaxies-ever-collide/ If it occurs (and models are giving probabilities between 30% and 50%) it will be in about 8 BILLION years. #galaxies #collision #andromeda #milkyway

Sharing the following as part of this post.
First is the unprocessed image of this morning’s 60 minute observation. In the center you will find NGC 7626 which is what the telescope was aiming for.
Second image is also the unprocessed image, but figured out a way to add the #galaxies observed. Shout out to In-the-sky.org.

'Spanner in the works': Flashing cosmic object puzzles astronomers
By Ellen Phiddian

A weird object in the sky that blasted pulses of X-rays and radio waves for two minutes out of every 44 could be a dead star, but it's not one that fits with astronomical theories.

Nasa reveals stunning views of distant galaxies through Webb and Hubble telescopes

In May, the Hubble telescope released a picture of a different galaxy, known as HerS 020941.1+001557, as it appeared 11 billion years ago. Along with SDSS J020941.27+001558.4 and SDSS J020941.27+001558.4, it forms a partial ring captured through gravitational lens, also known as the Einstein Ring. #Nasa #reveals #stunning #views #distant #galaxies #Webb #Hubble #telescopes

Hot new James Webb Space Telescope image just dropped. And this one's a banger.

Meet the galaxy cluster Abell S1063.
"This behemoth collection of galaxies, lying 4.5 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Grus (the Crane), dominates the scene. Looking more closely, this dense collection of heavy galaxies is surrounded by glowing streaks of light, and these warped arcs are the true object of scientists’ interest: faint galaxies from the Universe’s distant past."

"With 9 separate snapshots of different near-infrared wavelengths of light, totalling around 120 hours of observing time and aided by the magnifying effect of gravitational lensing, this is Webb’s deepest gaze on a single target to date."
