Last night at the local astronomy club,I listened to a presentation by a PhD scientist about her work with the JWST researching sequential shells around WR140, a binary star system 5600 light years away where one star is pulling gas and carbon dust from the other and making these amazing structures like 3D ripples in a pond.

Absolutely fascinating stuff; we live in an amazing age of high technology.

yes we do, i used to donate my time at the local Planetirum, some of us would also bring our telescopes out, so that on looker can look out of them. When i could i also used to give out moon diffusers, so that way even the cheapest telescope you could observe the moon at least....

Seriously, the older you get, the harder it is to surprise you.

274 moons?

Some of them orbit in retrograde??

Ripples in the ring world continuum?!?

Fucking amazing!

Who else saw the eclipse last night? I got a few looks through the clouds here.
