Bought this brilliant book as a Christmas present to myself - it’s packed with amazing images, including loads I’ve never seen before, plus a section on all the cameras and film that were used. It’s also the size of a paving slab. Incredible work from

Remember that some are sad not directly because the Queen’s died but because it’s such a huge reminder of death itself. Maybe it brings back memories of the death of a loved one. If someone’s sad let them be rather than excitedly bringing out your “why I hate the monarchy” list

We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first women and minority astronauts, and inspired generations to reach for the stars.

@NASAWebb
👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage

The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

He lived 10,000 years ago, but thanks to a group of archaeologists, artists, and @3Lateral team members, you can come face-to-face with this prehistoric shaman. Learn more about how they turned to the #MetaHuman framework to reconstruct this interactive digital model!
