You can’t expect to know everything when even the universe is like 🤷🏻♀️. The picture below is an actual near-infrared light image made by the James Webb Space Telescope.  It shows some actively forming stars that appear to be in the shape of a question mark. My first impression is that this picture seems so fake….but I trust science that says it is real. My second impression is how cool….we often take “signs” we find in life, so why not take this as one?  There is so much unknown in the universe.  Literally. Maybe it is just ok to live with a little more uncertainty than we feel comfortable with. Figure out things the best you can, think about this question mark in space, and get on with enjoying your time.  The stars will come together (or they won’t), but you won’t get the time you spent worrying about it back, so you might as well enjoy it as much as you can. How comfortable are you with uncertainty?

The largest and one of the most ambitious Hubble Space Telescope programs to date unfolded as a dedicated team of scientists and engineers embarked on a mission spanning three years. Their objective: to meticulously gather data on nearly 500 stars, delving deep into the mysteries of stellar formation, evolution, and their profound influence on the cosmic landscape. #infinitycosmos More Read > https://lnkd.in/gQzJfUGi

Hubble space telescope captures peculiar pair of interacting galaxies Arp 140 The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the peculiar interacting pair designated as Arp 140. There are some faint background galaxies of all shapes and sizes just about visible in the image. Strikingly, there are no foreground stars with the signature cross-shaped diffraction spikes visible in Hubble imagery. #hubble #hubblespacetelescope

You’ve Never Seen Jupiter Look So Much Like Cotton Candy You probably know Jupiter, the rotund fifth planet from the Sun, as orange and tan with a big red splotch. But the Hubble Space Telescope recently imaged the gas giant in ultraviolet light, giving the world a very different look. At UV wavelengths, Jupiter’s clouds appear in bright pinks, blues, and purple hues. The image is false color, meaning that ultraviolet wavelengths—which the human eye cannot see—were assigned to visual light wavelengths for your viewing pleasure. False color image is a bit of a misnomer, because the images aren’t “fake.” Image processors are just doing the best they can to show you the planet how it could look, in the same way that all the images by the Webb Space Telescope are taken at infrared wavelengths our eyes cannot see.

What is the Origin of Dust in the Universe? Up to now you must have seen many beautiful images of the James Webb space telescope. And by now you must be knowing that James Webb space telescope work in infrared and it detects the dust when it glows. One question arise is where did this dust come from and why is our universe so dusty? Answer : Click on Image https://lnkd.in/gC7weaZH
