Dunno about you, but I love some of the amazing photos of space we get to see from #Hubble, #Webb and the many spacecraft we have sent out into the solar system. So happy to see this wonderful account has hit 1,000 followers (and I highly recommend the other accounts managed by @redshift.pics)!

#WomenInStem The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA's next major space observatory. A bit like Hubble, but with a view around 100 times larger! It's designed to study dark energy, find exoplanets, and map the universe in detail.

Alfred, the most lazy bugger of a cyclone ever, sitting off the Brisbane coast noon Wednesday. Friday afternoon now... still sunshine and blue skies here (the Gold Coast and hinterland, and northern NSW, are getting a pounding). Predicted to cross the coast just north of Brisbane tomorrow morning.

One reason including credits (and preferably a source) is so important with astronomical images... here's an example of an account posting a supposed "JWST" image (which does the rounds fairly often). No credits, and no source, because it's fake. A shame... the genuine image is far better...

I followed the construction of the James Webb Space Telescope, and later the Roman Space Telescope, and one name kept popping up over and over in the photo credits... James Gunn. If you check out @roman-telescope.bsky.social or @webb-telescope.bsky.social, you'll see a lot of his incredible work.
