    Makes you feel so small and insignificant, galaxy’s that have long been and gone from existence, could of had million year old galaxy spanning civilisations and we would never know or ever find out.

      Speak of the devil...
      Here is an image of a Nebula it's taken. Both in regular and near inferred.
      Stunning. So much clearer than anything Hubble did.

      NASA’s Webb Captures Dying Star’s Final ‘Performance’ in Fine Detail

      Two stars both alike in dignity, in the fair Southern Ring planetary nebula where we lay our scene... Here our “star-crossed lovers” are actually a dying star expelling gas & dust, in orbit with a younger star that is helping to change the shape of this nebula’s intricate rings by creating turbulence. The James Webb Space Telescope can see through the gas and dust in unprecedented detail. In thousands of years, these delicate, gaseous layers will dissipate into surrounding space. This image is from Webb’s NIRCam instrument, which saw this nebula in the near-infrared. The Southern Ring nebula is called a planetary nebula. Despite “planet” in the name, which comes from how these objects first appeared to astronomers observing them hundreds of years ago, these are shells of dust and gas shed by dying Sun-like stars. The new details from Webb will transform our understanding of how stars evolve and influence their environments. Read more about the new Webb observations of this object: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/ Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI Image description A planetary nebula, seen by the Webb telescope’s NIRCam instrument, against the blackness of space, with points of starlight behind it. The nebula itself is shaped like an irregular oval, with lacy, reddish orange plumes of gas and dust. Further inside the circle, the gas and dust glows bright blue. A glowing white ring separates the red and blue gases. In the center of the rings are two stars, one glowing much brighter than the other, with diffraction spikes radiating out from it.

        Just amazing.

            Space payload catapult has had a successful launch.
            It essentially spins a payload at 5000mph (10,000g) and then ejects it. Sounds wild.

            SpinLaunch just catapulted a NASA payload into the sky for the first time

            The company's test demonstrated the viability of catapulting satellite components into the sky.

              Up to 10,000g that’s absolutely nuts. Takes hardened pilots & astronauts years of training to stay awake at 10g. So basically all you can send into space is a block of titanium if you want it to survive.

                https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/weve-never-seen-anything-black-hole-spews-out-material-years-after-shredding-star
                Cambridge, MA– In October 2018, a small star was ripped to shreds when it wandered too close to a black hole in a galaxy located 665 million light years away from Earth. Though it may sound thrilling, the event did not come as a surprise to astronomers who occasionally witness these violent incidents while scanning the night sky.

                  Black holes are weird. It's like a glitch in reality. I don't suppose they'll ever figure this one out.

                    A millimetre-sized robot made from a mix of liquid metal and microscopic magnetic pieces can stretch, move or melt. It could be used to fix electronics or remove objects from the body

                        Amazing that it's still recognizable.

                          Thanks to the recent news Youtube is pushing a lot of Titanic related videos including this hidden gem.

                          An expedition to the Titanic many years ago brought up numerous items including one of the two steam whistles that were positioned on the side of the ships funnels. Whilst the funnels were destroyed long ago, the whistles were made of stronger stuff and one of them was located on the seabed. Brought up, it took years to pain stakingly restore the whistle ready for public display and in 1999 the restoration team reached completion and became curious as to whether they had salvaged the whistle to such an extent that it could be made to sound off again.

                          A public event was staged to try the whistle and here it is - hear the Titanic once more

                                I love that this looks like some sort of kids toy or the internals from a pinball machine



                                its so crazy that their taking super delicate satellites and essentially spinning they around in a big drum before flinging them into space.
