On God we are all studying ts(as in THIS) to take black holes big ahh dihs 😂✌️

Neutron Stars: Extremely dense, but not infinitely so. A neutron star packs the mass of 1.4–2 times the Sun into a sphere about 10–15 km wide. They are made almost entirely of neutrons and have incredibly strong magnetic fields. Some neutron stars spin rapidly, emitting beams of radiation, and are called pulsars.

Black Holes: Even more extreme, a black hole forms when a collapsing star is so dense that it creates a region where gravity is so strong that nothing—not even light—can escape. This boundary is called the event horizon. Inside, space and time are warped beyond our current understanding.

Happy eighth anniversary, rover Curiosity !

Picture Description: NASA's Curiosity rover took this selfie on Oct. 11, 2019, the 2,553rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission.

The rover drilled twice in this location, nicknamed "Glen Etive" (pronounced "glen EH-tiv"). About 984 feet (300 meters) behind the rover, Vera Rubin Ridge rises up. Behind it lies the floor of Gale Crater, which Curiosity is exploring, and the northern rim of the crater. (Text adapted from nasa.gov)

GLOBAL VIEW OF VENUS IN ULTRAVIOLET FROM AKATSUKI

A false-color image using two ultraviolet channels from Akatsuki's UVI camera at 283 nm and 365 nm distinguishes different components of the Venusian atmosphere.

VENUS' NIGHTSIDE GLOW

This image shows the night side of Venus in thermal infrared. It is a false-colour image using data from Akatsuki.

VENUS' COUPLED DYNAMICS AND SULFUR CHEMISTRY FROM AKATSUKI, JULY 23, 2016

A false-color image using two ultraviolet channels from Akatsuki's UVI camera. Venus' cloud dynamics are just as complex as Earth's.

Note : Akatsuki is a Japanese mission launched in 2010 to orbit Venus (which it failed the first time) but successfully entered Venus' orbit on December the 7th, 2015.

EQUATORIAL REGION OF VENUS FROM AKATSUKI

Images acquired during orbit number 13 of the Japanese probe Akatsuki show an incredible amount of detail on the equatorial, tropical, and extra-tropical clouds of the planet

VENUS IN INFRARED FROM AKATSUKI: CLOUD WAVE

This view of Venus was acquired by the Japanese Akatsuki spacecraft's IR2 camera, which observes—among other things—the "warmth" of the planet's atmosphere on its nocturnal side.

Annular or the Ring Of Fire solar eclipse is tomorrow

The time of maximum eclipse, when that "ring of fire" event happens, will be at 2:40 a.m. EDT (0640 GMT) Sunday, June 21, when the moon crosses into the center of the sphere of the sun, from Earth's perspective. The eclipse starts at 11:45 p.m. EDT Saturday, June 20 (0345 GMT Sunday) and ends at 5:34 a.m. EDT (1034 GMT) June 20, according to NASA.

Regions in the path of visibility include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, the Red Sea, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Gulf of Oman, Pakistan, India, China, Taiwan, the Philippine Sea (south of Guam), northern Australia and the north Pacific Ocean.

Hubble sees a more holistic view of the Butterfly Nebula or NGC 6302

Hubble was recently retrained on NGC 6302, known as the "Butterfly Nebula," to observe it across a more complete spectrum of light, from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared, helping researchers better understand the mechanics at work in its technicolor "wings" of gas. The "wings" of NGC 6302 are regions of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit that are tearing across space at more than 600,000 miles an hour. NGC 6302 lies between 2,500 and 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.

Simeis 147: Supernova Remnant 

The supernova remnant has an estimated age of about 40,000 years, meaning light from the massive stellar explosion first reached Earth 40,000 years ago. But the expanding remnant is not the only aftermath. The cosmic catastrophe also left behind a spinning neutron star or pulsar, all that remains of the original star's core.
