exquisite new #jwst data unveiling the physics of star formation and dust✨ brilliant, kind collaborators incl @PHANGSteam @karinsandstrom @InappTom✨ and ton of our JWST papers starting to drop this Monday on arXiv. so much to be #grateful for this Thanksgiving 🙏
Happy Friday, everyone. Here's a new view from JWST's MIRI of spiral galaxy NGC 1566. The colors in this image come from the emission of dust. Hardly any stars are visible. The reddish areas correspond with star formation, though.
Data via Proposal GO 2107 / @janiceleeastro
ALT A spiral galaxy with two arms. Pinkish areas dot the brightest points along the arms, while brownish and blueish hues dominate the spaces in between. A complicated web of dust forms the arms with many tendrils also connecting them in the dimmer areas. Pin pricks of light from background galaxies and very few stars are scattered about the image.

A very early and preliminary version of Europa image PJ45_1 obtained by @NASAJuno earlier today (Sept 29, 2022). This shouldn't be very far from Europa's true color; I expect to improve the color later with more careful processing though. North is up.

Not gonna lie. I ugy-cried when I saw THE FIRST JWST NEPTUNE IMAGES! "O M G - LOOK AT THE RINGS" I was yelling, making my kids, my mom, even my cats look. More than 20 years in the making, and JWST delivered. nasa.gov/feature/goddard/202…

Happy weekend! Lots of people are anxiously awaiting the #JWST images releasing Tuesday. (I've seen them and they're pretty cool!) But did you know many astronomers want to #RenameJWST?

I like to think of spectrographic surveys as the modern equivalent of early Earth maps. So I drew a

@SpaceGeck has done it again, squeezing exceptional detail from archival HST exposures! This is Mrk 78, a galaxy with outflows of hot gas driven by radiation from its feeding supermassive black hole. See our new paper where we measure the outflows power!
arxiv.org/abs/2101.06270
Here's active galaxy Mrk78 with black hole-powered outflows. Worked on this one last year w/ @MRevalski and his paper recently got accepted! arxiv.org/abs/2101.06270
