You know we love 1) Neptune (love them nep-toots) & Aurora, so this new image from #JWST is *perfection*

If you too love Neptune, check out our episode on the Nereids, where we explore some of Neptune's moons: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/asterism-the-nereids-in-astronomy-and-mythology/

If you love aurora, check out our episode on the science & lore of Earth's aurora: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/asterisms-aurora/

(27 Mar) This Is the First-Ever Image of Neptune’s Auroral Glow

Captured by Webb, it's the first direct evidence of auroras on the most distant planet from the Sun.

The Giants come from behind to win their 1st game of the season 6-4.

#Walker makes it a little more interesting than necessary in the bottom of the 9th but he gets the #Save & the Giants save #Webb from the loss & spoil the #HomeOpener for the #Reds.

Go Giants!!!!

Only 1 inning left to save #Webb from an opening game loss.

#Webb is struggling & the bullpen just got active.

A ground ball double play gets him out of the bottom of the 4th.

Not going to well for #Webb & the #Giants so far.

JWST has captured Neptune’s auroras for the first time! The most distant planet from the Sun has a magnetic field tilted at a strange 47-degree angle, causing auroras away from its poles. Webb also found Neptune’s upper atmosphere has cooled by hundreds of degrees—likely why its auroras remained undetected for so long.

Magnifique image de la « Tornade cosmique » , le surnom de l'objet Herbig-Haro 49/50 en raison de son apparence hélicoïdale, par le télescope James #Webb.
Les objets Herbig-Haro sont des écoulements produits par des jets lancés par une étoile en formation à proximité.

Das #Webb-Teleskop liefert atemberaubende Einblicke in die Sternentstehung. Der "Kosmische Tornado" im Sternbild Chamäleon zeigt, wie junge Sterne ihre Umgebung formen. Ein Blick in die Vergangenheit unseres Sonnensystems? https://winfuture.de/news,149830.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Le télescope Webb de la NASA révèle la véritable nature de la tornade cosmique
Les détails exquis de Webb révèlent un alignement aléatoire et fortuit d’un écoulement protostellaire et d’une galaxie spirale lointaine.

Webb unmasks true nature of the Cosmic Tornado

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured a beautiful juxtaposition of the nearby protostellar outflow known as Herbig-Haro 49/50 with a perfectly positioned, more distant spiral galaxy.

Webb reveals unexpected complex chemistry in primordial galaxy

(... what we think of as the "first billion years" of the universe probably took a more billion years than that)
