(25 Jun) The World’s Largest Organism Is a 35,000-Ton Fungus – At Least, For Now

What is the largest organism? Until a few years ago, Oregon’s “humongous fungus” was considered the world’s largest organism. Now, some experts aren’t so sure.

The Seagull #Nebula

The Seagull Nebula, resembling a bird in the sky, spans 3.5 degrees near Sirius in Canis Major. Its head, IC 2177, contains star HD 53367 within a mix of glowing gas and dust. The region extends over 200 light-years, 3,800 light-years away, shaped by supernovae and marked by runaway star FN Canis Majoris' bow shock.

In only a matter of a week or two it will be completely unblemished once again, all while the population peacefully continues their existence far, far below the surface.

That is, until another close call. Then it all begins once again.

Astronomers using #JWST have captured compelling evidence of a #planet with a mass similar to Saturn orbiting the young nearby #star TWA 7.

If confirmed, this would represent Webb’s first direct image discovery of a planet and the lightest planet ever seen with this technique outside the solar system.

Identifying the formation period of planetary systems, such as our solar system, could be the beginning of the journey to discover the origin of life.

The key to this is the unique substructures found in protoplanetary disks—the sites of #planet formation.

A protoplanetary disk is composed of low-temperature molecular gas and dust, surrounding a #protostar.

If a planet exists in the disk, its #gravity will gather or eject materials within the disk, forming characteristic substructures such as rings or spirals. In other words, various disk substructures can be interpreted as "messages" from the forming #planets.

New high-resolution images of protoplanetary disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming region, created with improved analysis. The resolution is shown by the white ellipse in the lower left of each panel, with a smaller ellipse indicating higher resolution. The white line in the lower right of each panel indicates a scale of 30 au. The evolution stage of the central stars progresses from left to right, and from top to bottom in the same row.

Another panorama from the old times. This one was taken during a dustwave or dust storm (we have different terminologies here). The scene is yellow like that, I just happened to add a bit of saturation to it. A lot had changed in this yard since then.

If you've never seen the #planet #Mercury and you have a clear view toward the west, tonight's your night (24th June 2025). Look west-northwest about 40 minutes after sunset and see three bright objects forming a line parallel to the horizon. The brightest object, on the left, is Mercury. The other two objects are the Pollux and #astor, the brightest stars in the #constellation #Gemini.

In the Center of Spiral #Galaxy M61

#Hubble and ESO data reveal M61, a barred spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, 55 million light-years away. Its core features an active black hole and a nuclear spiral of star-forming gas resembling a mini spiral galaxy.
