JWST NIRCam and MIRI image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and UGC 5130, or the Penguin and the Egg.The Penguin is a spiral galaxy whose shape has been distorted by the gravity of the elliptical Egg galaxy. The two are about 100,000 light-years apart and completed a close pass between 25 and 75 million years ago.Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI Source: <a href="https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2024/124/01J06XYGEDEE86D1H9N5EJ9EG0" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2024/124/01J06XYGEDEE86D1H9N5EJ9EG0">https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2024/124/01J06XYGEDEE86D1H9N5EJ9EG0</a><a href="/tags/arpgalaxy/" rel="tag">#ArpGalaxy</a> <a href="/tags/galaxy/" rel="tag">#Galaxy</a> <a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#Space</a> <a href="/tags/astronomy/" rel="tag">#Astronomy</a> <a href="/tags/jwst/" rel="tag">#JWST</a>

$Arp 142, two interacting galaxies, observed in near- and mid-infrared light. At left is NGC 2937, nicknamed the Egg. Its center is brighter and whiter. There are six diffraction spikes atop its gauzy blue layers. At right is NGC 2936, nicknamed the Penguin. Its beak-like region points toward and above the Egg. Where the eye would be is a small, opaque yellow spiral. The Penguin’s distorted arms and orange dust lanes from the bird’s beak, back, and tail. The tail is wide and layered, like a beta fish’s tail. A semi-transparent blue hue traces the Penguin and extends from the galaxy, creating an upside-down U over top of both galaxies. At top right is another galaxy seen from the side, pointing roughly at a 45-degree angle. It is largely light blue. Its length appears approximately as long as the Egg’s height. One foreground star with large, bright blue diffraction spikes appears over top of the galaxy and another near it. The entire black background is filled with tiny, extremely distant galaxies.$

The FAA once said that pieces of space debris “pose a significant risk,” but the Trump administration has backed off a rule that would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to remove rocket parts from orbit within 25 years of launch. <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/faa-trump-space-junk-safety-spacex-rockets?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.propublica.org/article/faa-trump-space-junk-safety-spacex-rockets?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post">https://www.propublica.org/article/faa-trump-space-junk-safety-spacex-rockets?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post</a><a href="/tags/news/" rel="tag">#News</a> <a href="/tags/elonmusk/" rel="tag">#ElonMusk</a> <a href="/tags/spacex/" rel="tag">#SpaceX</a> <a href="/tags/aviation/" rel="tag">#Aviation</a> <a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#Space</a> <a href="/tags/rockets/" rel="tag">#Rockets</a> <a href="/tags/safety/" rel="tag">#Safety</a> <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#Trump</a>

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right & bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun. <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/hello-world/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.nasa.gov/image-article/hello-world/">https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/hello-world/</a><a href="/tags/earth/" rel="tag">#Earth</a> <a href="/tags/artemis/" rel="tag">#Artemis</a> <a href="/tags/artemis2/" rel="tag">#Artemis2</a> <a href="/tags/orion/" rel="tag">#Orion</a> <a href="/tags/integrity/" rel="tag">#Integrity</a> <a href="/tags/orionintegrity/" rel="tag">#OrionIntegrity</a> <a href="/tags/spacecraft/" rel="tag">#spacecraft</a> <a href="/tags/nasa/" rel="tag">#NASA</a> <a href="/tags/moon/" rel="tag">#Moon</a> <a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#space</a> <a href="/tags/aurora/" rel="tag">#aurora</a>
